Gov. Abbott now says president Biden has abandoned all responsibility to protect the United States, criticizing his failure at the border.
Earlier this year, Abbott, joined by 13 Republican governors, held a press conference at Eagle Pass and criticized Biden’s failure to reduce illegal immigration, which reached a record monthly high in December of 2023.
“President Biden has abandoned his constitutional duty to protect Americans by refusing to secure our southern border,” Abbott said.
“During his presidency, Joe Biden has smashed records for illegal immigration and allowed total chaos to be unleashed along our southern border.”
Abbott claimed Biden had “completely abdicated and abandoned his responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States.”
“Joe Biden, it is your turn now — your obligation, your duty, to follow the laws Congress passed and secure the border, just as Texas has,” the Texas governor said, speaking alongside the governors of Tennessee, Montana, Arkansas and Georgia among others.
U.S. Border Patrol agents took into custody more than 225,000 migrants who crossed the southern border — in between official crossings — during the first 27 days of December, according to the preliminary Department of Homeland Security statistics.
The figure does not include legal entries at ports of entry, where the Biden administration has been processing roughly 50,000 migrants each month, mostly under a process powered by a smartphone app.
Given the surge in illegal immigration, Abbott claims that Texas border patrol will do everything short of shooting immigrants to protect the state’s border.
Former president Donald Trump has also criticized the Biden administration for its failures at the border, claiming dangerous people are infiltrating the country.

Donald Trump now says Harris is a ‘threat to democracy’ after publishing to X, formerly known as Twitter, a series of his worldview.
The former President says Kamala Harris was the first one out of 22 people to quit when she ran against Biden.
“And now she’s a presidential candidate?,” posted Trump to Musk’s social media platform on Saturday.
“Kamala Harris is the Weakest Presidential Candidate in History on Crime.
She’s allowed millions of people to pour through our Borders, many from prisons, mental institutions and, indeed, terrorists, coming in at levels never seen before.
What gives her the right to run for President? She got no votes to Biden’s 14 Million.
She failed in her previous attempt, was the first one out of 22 people to quit, never made it to Iowa, and now she’s a Presidential Candidate?
This is a Threat to Democracy!”
Harris has recently been criticized for switching sides and opinions on proposals, with Trump supporters stating his beliefs and messages have remained consistent over the years.
“Donald Trump is surrendering to his advisors who won’t allow him to debate with a live microphone,” Harris posted to X.
If his own team doesn’t have confidence in him, the American people definitely can’t.
We are running for President of the United States. Let’s debate in a transparent way—with the microphones on the whole time.
Despite sources such as the Economist suggesting Harris is leading the presidential polls, Trump continues to be the most popular candidate on X.
