Governor Abbott Just Made A HUGE Promise To Border Patrol!
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on Sunday that he was going to hire any Border Patrol agent that was being punished by the Biden Administration over the controversy enveloping them regarding both the mounted agents and the Haitian migrants last week.
Biden promised on Friday that the mounted Border Patrol agents are going to “pay” over the debunked claim that they ropes, lassos, and whips to corral and abuse Haitian migrants in Del Rio, Texas.
Biden’s comments came after the photographer who had snapped the infamous images of the Border Patrol agents on horseback spoke out, saying that no, he had not witnessed what the Democrats and the media claimed.
What did Abbott say?
Governor Abbott spoke on “Fox News Sunday”, promising to hire any Border Patrol agent that faces repercussions from the Biden Administration.
“What the president said — going after the Border Patrol, who were risking their lives and working so hard to try to secure the border — if he takes any action against them whatsoever, I have worked side by side with those Border Patrol agents,” Abbott began. “I want them to know something: If they are at risk of losing their job at a president who is abandoning his duty to secure the border, you have a job in the state of Texas.”
“I will hire you to help Texas secure our border,” the Republican governor promised.
Governor Abbott characterized Biden as “scapegoating” the Border Patrol, claiming that these agents would not have been in that position if the “Biden Administration had enforced the immigration laws and secured the border.”
Governor Abbott also claimed that Border Patrol agents had alerted him to the fact that the only reason the flood of migrants to Del Rio had stopped is because HE ALONE had taken action, and Abbott also insisted that this was necessary because of how President Biden has abdicated their constitutional responsibilities.
“Because the Biden administration is refusing to do its duty to enforce the laws of the United States, they have left Texas in no position other than for us to step up and do what we have to do,” Abbott said.
“You know, you mentioned the people in Del Rio and the way that Del Rio was overrun by a population about the same size of Del Rio that have been coming across the border illegally. As governor, I’m not gonna let that happen,” he continued. “I am going to step up and do whatever I have to do to make sure that I protect the people of Del Rio, as well as all these other communities in the state of Texas that the Biden administration is ignoring.”
“The people in South Texas, they are angry about the Biden administration for ignoring them, for abetting them,” Abbott said. “The Biden administration cares far more about people who are not in this country than he does of the people— American citizens who live in this country.”
Furious Border Patrol agents are speaking out against President Biden after his Friday remarks. One agent told Fox News that Biden “just started a war with Border Patrol.”
“I see the administration wants to fry our agents,” that agent said.
