Gov. Abbott says Biden troops to border are too little and too late

 The Hill:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) slammed the Biden administration’s move to send 1,500 troops to the southern border, arguing the president was sending the soldiers to “do paperwork” and not “secure the border.”

“President Biden is sending 1,500, quote, soldiers to do paperwork, and he’s not going to secure the border,” Abbott said in an interview with Fox News Sunday.

“We do not need 1,500 soldiers,” Abbott said. “We need 15,000 or 150,000 to secure the border because of the open border policies of the Biden administration.”

When pressed on accepting similar types of reinforcements from the Trump administration, Abbott said he supported the move from the Republican president because “President Trump sent soldiers to the border to secure the border.”

“This is a day late and tens of thousands of soldiers too few,” Abbott said.

Biden's border policy is a disgrace that is now being felt across the country as the migrants are shipped to cities far from the border.  Biden literally has no interest in controlling the border or the flow of illegals into the country.

Three cities in Texas — Brownsville, Laredo and El Paso — have declared a state of emergency. Outside Sacred Heart Catholic Church in downtown El Paso this past week, a tableau of human misery fanned out for several blocks, with destitute migrants occupying every spit of sidewalk.
