Tough enough...if a little late

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott asked President Biden to issue an emergency declaration for his state due to the increasingly difficult border crisis.
In a letter to the president, Abbott specifically pointed to Val Verde County, where Haitian migrants have set up an encampment in Del Rio under the International Bridge. The governor said that as of Saturday there were nearly 16,000 migrants in Del Rio.

Because border control is a federal issue and a declaration of emergency is a procedural matter. Will Gropey abide? Heck no because of the “optics”.
If this doesn’t keep Texas Red, nothing will.
A few million undocumented, and more coming in, may be more than Texas can handle.
Also, having Biden refuse to send the help will show just who he is.
To show what Biden thinks of America and especially Texas.
Why do you need a declaration?
There is no crisis. In fact, there is no border. So what’s the problem?
Oh, Abbott is a tough guy eh?
P.O.S!
Biden is winding down from his beach vacation.
C’mon man!
The lying sack of sheep vomit brought them in SO AS TO punish Texas! He’s not going to do anything.
What the heck is wrong with you?! The governor already has a massive presence of Texas law enforcement and National Guard at the border. Immigration is a genuine federal issue, so there isn't much the governor can do other than what he is already doing.
Sometimes I think people like you who are so quick to criticize Republicans are really Democrat plants.
Using about 9 18 wheelers, blockade U.S. St Rt 239 (U.S. Rt 277 Bus.) and Alderete Ln, and Alderete & Frontera. The only trucks allowed in will be to remove the porta-potties.
All transport vehicles that carry more than 20 persons should only be allowed to leave 'deadheading' - meaning no passengers. Would-be passengers should be 'discouraged' from boarding such transports. Any transport carrying such 'contraband' should be made incapable for road-worthy transit.
Grocery stores, in a move of solidarity, should apply limits on the amount of items sold per person, and should ask for U.S. identification before entry. All gas stations should either close or turn off the diesel pumps.
Finally, the local Del Rio F.D. should refuse (or be convinced to refuse) any calls south of Alderete Ln until all illegal south are returned south of the Rio Grande; especially if any brush fires in that area may happen to pop up.
I figure that should resolve the issue in about 72 hours.
[Addendum since Abbott wants federal help]:
Give the Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez permission (as if he needs it) to deputize every male resident of Val Verde County to help stand watch and prevent encroachment of the barriers provided. These newly-minted deputies are encouraged to carry side arms and long rifles at the ready. TX National Guard shall assists in any logistics needed for these deputies and vice versa. Former military civilians shall be given rank and privilege during regimentation. All persons must past state-background check and take oath prior to deployment.
How's that, folks? Sound like a better option? Or do we need to apply more pressure? (e.g. request mobilization from other states)
just my $0.02
jimjohn - OUT
Indeed - just do it.
Make a good example of ignoring or acting against destructive policies from Fed.gov
It’s high time we start defending the border.
Deputiize me. I’ll go
This is what the Dems want why should they do anything but sit back ans laugh

Thank you. Bad ass “letters” never mean anything when it comes to the “reality” of the situation.
Evil is abound. Please put down the pen.
