Abbott Declares an Invasion of Texas—Sends National Guard to the Border

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending Texas National Guard troops to the southern border to hold off what he declared in a letter to the Obiden Regime to be an “invasion” of illegal migrants.

This from newsmax.com.

Abbott said in a post on X on Wednesday:

I officially declared an invasion at our border because of Biden’s policies.

We deployed the Texas National Guard, Department of Public Safety, and local law enforcement.

We are building a border wall, razor wire, and marine barriers.

We are also repelling migrants.

Abbott also accused federal border agents of cutting state installations of razor wire in Eagle Pass on Wednesday, allowing the illegal migrants access to the U.S. side of the border.

Abbott wrote in a separate post Wednesday:

Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings.

Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.

I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings and install more razor wire.

In a November 16, 2022, letter to Biden, Abbott criticized the occupier-in-chief for his inaction to stem the tide of illegal migrants flooding into Texas.

In the letter Abbott stated:

Your inaction has led to catastrophic consequences. Under your watch, America is suffering the highest volume of illegal immigration in the history of our country. This past year, more than 2 million immigrants tried to enter the country illegally, coming from more than 100 countries across the globe.

Abbott said in the letter that due to Biden’s failures, the United Nations named the U.S.-Mexico border the “deadliest land crossing” in the world.

The letter continued:

Texans are paying the price for your failure. Ranches are being ripped apart, and homes are vulnerable to intrusion. Our border communities are regularly disrupted by human traffickers and bailouts. Deadly fentanyl is crossing the porous border to such a degree that it is now the leading cause of death for citizens between the ages of 18 and 45.

The Washington Examiner reported:

Abbott’s move comes after installing razor wire and buoys in the Rio Grande River, which the [Obiden Regime] challenged in court as a violation of the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act.

Communist/Globalist state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, who is running against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz for his Senate seat, posted Wednesday that the citizens in the area were “fighting back” against Abbott’s “inhumane” actions.

The post stated:

The citizens and community of Eagle Pass are fighting back against the inhumane treatment of migrants under Operation Lone Star.

Texans want real solutions to address border security and reform our broken immigration system. The days of Cruz’s negligence must come to an end.

Is this knucklehead clueless, or what?
