Camouflage clothing isn't a new tactic for migrants trying to avoid detection at the border, but Governor Greg Abbott says it is, and it's part of the 'invasion...
criticized Abbott for the letter, arguing that while much of his critique of federal actions and policy has merit, he “repeats ugly rhetoric characterizing the border crisis in military terms that risk portraying all migrants as enemy combatants.”
The editorial also chided Abbott for “playing for the cameras” and “antagonizing the Biden administration” for two years, “which makes it unlikely that Texas will improve its cooperation with the White House.”Pressed by CNN’s Jake Tapper to respond to the editorial, Abbott said he was simply invoking a clause in the U.S. Constitution that gives states authority to defend themselves in case of invasion.
“Jake, if this is not an invasion, what is?” he said, adding, “The drug cartels are invading the United States of America. And if Americans don’t know that, they need to wake up.... Texas law enforcement alone has seized enough fentanyl… to kill every man, woman and child in the entire United States of America. That could destroy us as a country. And it’s Texas, not the United States, that is stepping up and trying to do something about it.
The letter he hand-delivered Sunday was his eighth request for federal help from Biden, Abbott said, adding that he’s also pleaded with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “He has refused to provide any assistance whatsoever,” Abbott said of the president. “All on deaf ears. Texas has been left alone as some frontier outpost for us to have to grapple with, ourselves, the record-breaking volume of millions of people coming across the border a year.”with foreigners on the terrorist watch list who had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border between ports of entry. That’s a record.
