Abbott says it’s an invasion.
According to a Newsmax report, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is taking action against the unprecedented influx of migrants at the southern border; he’s sending the Texas National Guard to protect America’s vulnerable underbelly.
“I officially declared an invasion at our border because of Biden’s policies,” Abbott said in a post on the social media site X on Wednesday. “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.”

“Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings. Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants,” Abbott wrote in a separate post Wednesday. “I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings and install more razor wire.”

X owner Elon Musk supported Abbott’s decision, saying “No other choice. The influx is so gigantic that it is overwhelming even major cities like New York.”
