Gov. Abbott warns of continued border problems if Harris elected
...
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has revealed that the state has spent an astounding $10 billion on border security efforts—a financial burden he says Texas cannot continue to bear without federal support. In an exclusive interview with the New York Post, Abbott shared his concerns that if Vice President Kamala Harris is elected, the border crisis will persist, exacerbating the already chaotic situation.
Abbott highlighted his frustrations with the vice president, citing her refusal to collaborate on securing the Texas border. “She’s refused to step up,” he said, pointing out that Harris had been tasked by President Biden with managing the flow of illegal immigration but has made little effort to visit Texas’ border regions.
“She never has ever even responded,” Abbott stated, referring to multiple invitations he extended to Harris for a firsthand tour of the Texas-Mexico border.
Since the launch of Texas’ “Operation Lone Star” in 2021, Abbott’s border security initiative has led to more than 500,000 migrant apprehensions, 46,000 criminal arrests, and the seizure of over 521 million lethal doses of fentanyl, according to state authorities.
His administration has also sent over 119,000 migrants to sanctuary cities, with New York City receiving more than 45,900 migrants in just two years.
Despite these efforts, Abbott insists that Texas cannot continue to shoulder the financial burden. “Texas has stepped up in such a prolific way, coming out of Texas taxpayer pockets by far more than $10 billion of our own money to pay for border security to deal with the refusal of the Biden-Harris administration to secure the border,” Abbott explained. “We cannot go through another four years of that.”

The Biden-Harris border policy has been irresponsible. It has allowed thousands of murders in the country and hundreds of thousands of other criminals in. As much as 75 percent of the crime in New York City is committed by the illegals Biden and Harris have let into the country.
