During a recent interview, Texas Governor Greg Abbott discussed the ongoing migrant crisis at the border and the potential actions that could be taken to address the situation. Governor Abbott highlighted the issue of illegal immigration and emphasized the need to enforce existing laws to prevent chaos.

One key point raised by Governor Abbott was the misconception that President Biden would require new laws from Congress to address the border situation. Abbott clarified that there are already laws in place that authorize the executive branch to deny illegal entry, detain individuals who enter illegally, and build border barriers.

When asked about the possibility of restricting migrants' ability to seek asylum after crossing the border illegally, Governor Abbott stressed the importance of upholding the law. He emphasized that individuals who cross the border illegally should be subject to arrest and should not be allowed to seek asylum in the United States.
