Joe Biden finally visited the border on Sunday, to see what was going on, but El Paso cleared out all of the illegal aliens so he didn’t see anything. It seems like a wasted effort since the illegitimate president would have forgotten what he saw in a matter of minutes. In another wasted effort, Texas Governor Greg Abbott gave Biden a letter he can’t read, accusing him of violating the Constitution.
According to Abbott, Joe Biden thought he was going to fly into El Paso without having to meet the Texas Governor.
“Listen, during this entire time, Joe Biden has not called me. He did not call me, nor [did] his staff call, and let us know, either about his visit or to invite us, until last night. We got a random e-mail to one of my staff members asking if I would be there to meet him on the tarmac,” said Abbott said on Fox News.
Abbott was however on the Tarmac to greet Biden with a scathing letter:
Hand-delivered a letter to President Biden today during his first visit to the border.
His trip is $20 billion too little & 2 years too late.

And it’s a pretty damn good letter:
Dear President Biden:
Your visit to our southern border with Mexico today is $20 billion too little and two years too late. Moreover, your visit avoids the sites where mass illegal immigration occurs and sidesteps the thousands of angry Texas property owners whose lives have been destroyed by your border policies. Even the city you visit has been sanitized of the migrant camps which had overrun downtown El Paso because your Administration wants to shield you from the chaos that Texans experience on a daily basis. This chaos is the direct result of your failure to enforce the immigration laws that Congress enacted.
Under President Trump, the federal government achieved historically low levels of illegal immigration. Under your watch, by contrast, America is suffering the worst illegal immigration in the history of our country. Your open-border policies have emboldened the cartels, who grow wealthy by trafficking deadly fentanyl and even human beings. Texans are paying an especially high price for your failure, sometimes with their very lives, as local leaders from your own party will tell you if given the chance.
All of this is happening because you have violated your constitutional obligation to defend the States against invasion through faithful execution of federal laws. Halfway through your presidency, though, I can finally welcome you to the border. When you finish the photo-ops in a carefully stage-managed version of El Paso, you have a job to do:
- You must comply with the many statutes mandating that various categories of aliens “shall” be detained, and end the practice of unlawfully paroling aliens en masse.
- You must stop sandbagging the implementation of the Remain-in-Mexico policy and Title 42 expulsions, and fully enforce those measures as the federal courts have ordered you to do.
- You must aggressively prosecute illegal entry between ports of entry, and allow ICE to remove illegal immigrants in accordance with existing federal laws.
- You must immediately resume construction of the border wall in the State of Texas, using the billions of dollars Congress has appropriated for that purpose.
- You must designate the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. On behalf of all Americans, I implore you: Secure our border by enforcing Congress’s immigration laws. Sincerely,
Greg Abbott
Damn.
It’s just too bad that Joe Biden’s cognitive decline has left him with zero reading comprehension skills, so he’ll never understand what is in that letter. One of his aides will give him the “gist” of it and lie that Abbott was thanking the illegitimate president for doing such an awesome job.
