sue Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over the use of a floating buoy border barrier to stop illegal immigration into the state.Abbott responded on Twitter to the letter, saying that Texas “has the sovereign authority to defend our border, under the U.S.

Constitution and the Texas Constitution. We have sent the Biden Administration numerous letters detailing our authority, including the one I hand-delivered to President Biden earlier this year.”Co-host Sunny Hostin said Abbott should be more focused on gun violence in the state. “Fine, there is a problem at the border.

There’s been an immigration problem in this country that hasn’t been solved in decades. A lot of people don’t work on it, Democrats don’t work on it as much as they should, Republicans don’t work on it as much as they should, however, unlawful entries along the southern border decreased 70% from their record highs since the end of title 42 on May 11th, 70%,” Hostin said.

She said Abbott was dealing with a problem that was “already declining,” instead of “worrying about the gun violence that’s in Texas.”Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued earlier in the segment that Democrats usually don’t “engage” on border issues “until there’s a scandal like this.”“We also have a crisis at the border that I would argue Democrats don’t truly engage in until there’s a scandal like this, whether it was the debunked story about migrants being whipped by CBP or this,” she said. “Those are terrible things that shouldn’t happen but if you’re someone like a Governor Abbott, he’s seen his border towns ravaged by cartels, by fentanyl, by unhoused migrants living in 110-degree temperatures 5 at night in places like El Paso,” Griffin continued.
