Texas Gov. Abbott closing entry as 8,000 gather at border

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is closing entry points at the Mexican border so the state won’t be overrun as reports show thousands of illegal immigrants amassing under a bridge ​waiting to be arrested by Border Patrol agents.

The number of migrants waiting under the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas, doubled overnight to more than 8,200 people, Fox News reported, showing drone footage of the massive gathering.

​​”The sheer negligence of the Biden Administration to do their job and secure the border is appalling. I have directed the Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to surge personnel and vehicles to shut down six points of entry along the southern border to stop these caravans from overrunning the state​,” Abbott, a Republican, said in a statement on Thursday.

Just heard he reversed himself on locking down the borders. If so Abbott just about slit his own political throat! Sick of these spineless bastard’s! By the way if you didn’t know the majority of those 8000 are from Haiti. Those along with the Afghanistan’s are the worst. Also they carry the Ebola virus with them.

if I were Abbot, in response to that DC judge, I’d start a caravan of busses to DC and offload every illegal that comes over the Texas border.

Just heard on Fox News that the TSA has shut down any drone use around there. They say it is a security concerns. I think the administration doesn’t like the pictures.

Where did you hear he reversed the shutdown?

If so, I wonder who got to him and what was used to twist his arm?

UPDATE for RoseOfTexas:

Gov Abbott didn’t reverse himself, hidenbiden did.

When that happened, Gov Abbott unloaded on hidenbiden and called out the Texas DPS and Texas National Guard.

H/t little Jeremiah for the screen cap:
