Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas on Sunday expressed support for US Border Patrol agents who are disciplined by the Biden administration, pledging to hire them if they fear that their jobs are in jeopardy.
During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace asked Abbott to respond to the videos and images that showed agents on horseback charging at Haitian migrants near the Texas border, which elicited a torrent of outrage from many across the country, including President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and many members of Congress.
Abbott immediately laid blame on the president, criticizing his administration for what he said was a lack of enforcement of existing immigration laws.
"They wouldn't have been in that situation had the Biden administration enforced the immigration law and secured the border in the first place," the governor said.
He added: "If he takes any action against them whatsoever - I have worked side by side with those Border Patrol agents - I want them to know something. If they are at risk of losing their job by 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."

Abbott is career politician, they live in of deal making and empty blabber. Hard to connect to reality or just common sense.
