Tucker Carlson called out Texas governor Greg Abbott for reneging on certain promises he made to secure the border during the general election against Beto O’Rourke.
“El Paso wasn’t like this just a few years ago. Ask anyone who went there,” Carlson noted during Monday’s edition of his TV show. “The question is, why isn’t the state of Texas stopping this? Where’s the Texas National Guard?”
“A few months ago, Greg Abbott, the governor, was running for office,” Carlson noted. “He was running against Beto O’Rourke, and he was willing to say anything to get re-elected. He was willing to lie and apparently he did.”
Tucker: This is an invasion of our country
Carlson reminded viewers, “He said he’d deploy 10,000 troops to the border. Oh, but he hasn’t. He just revised it to 5,000 troops. And then he came up with another solution: just bus thousands of migrants to other states, which is kind of funny. It makes for an amusing cable news segment. But it’s still our country, isn’t it? And none of these people are ever leaving.”
“This is an invasion of our country,” Carlson said. “We don’t have a border and Greg Abbott could stop it, and he isn’t. Why isn’t the Texas National Guard stopping this? We can’t answer that question.”
“We’d love to have Greg Abbott come on and tell us,” the Fox News host added.
“But because Texas isn’t securing the border, the rest of the country is also overrun with people from foreign countries who have no right to be here and whose identity we don’t know,’ Carlson continued. “At exactly the moment, we do not need a larger population as our economy moves south.”
Don’t doubt it. Funny, those phone tents were on damn near every corner during Soetero’s admin. They stopped. And recently I’ve seen a few. Hmmmm
Balony!! I watched Tucker tonight with Abbot and Tucker was rude and WRONG.
When Abbot explained ,Tucker interrupted and covered what Abbot was saying.
I like Tucker, but he was way wrong tonight.
Other states have put their guard on the border. Its not a new concept. AZ has done it a couple of times.
For how long, and how'd that work out in the end?

So tell me again how this is all supposed to work?
Why don’t you reason it out? It’ll be good for you. 😉
You and the others on this thread are the ones demanding that the Guard be deployed (again) on the border, so the onus is on you to tell us how that would work logistically. Not me.
Have the Aussies at Murdoch News allowed Tucker to call out Biden and his entire administration as liars?...
You know, the administration telling us the border is secure, while transporting illegals all across the nation, not just a few cities.
The Texas State Guard can’t deport anybody or stop anybody from coming here. This is just Tucker getting emotional and blaming politicians for not doing things they can’t do. He’s being another Ann Coulter, and one is enough.
The fact Tucker is still on Fox, tells me he’s “controlled opposition”, if he really was a threat, they would have taken him off months ago.
Abbott was on again with Tucker tonight. Amazing how fast a man in a wheelchair backpedal.
Could any Texan clear up the Abbott question?
Is he really a patriot or a RINO in sheeps clothing?
Michael Yon just wrote a piece saying he just acts like he is try to control the border but in reality has ordered the Texas National guard to basically just be a giant photo op for him?
I hear both views about Greg A.
Actually the onus isn’t on any of us to even acknowledge your contrarian remarks. 😄
