“We have to build a border [wall]. I’ve been down here talking to the people in the Rio Grande Valley and the way they are being overrun is reprehensible,” Abbott told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday night. “It’s disastrous what the Biden administration has done.”
Earlier this month, Abbott issued a disaster declaration for 34 counties along or near the Lone Star State’s border with Mexico, citing what he called Biden’s “open-border policies [that] have paved the way for dangerous gangs and cartels, human traffickers, and deadly drugs like fentanyl to pour into our communities.”
