Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas says Alejandro Mayorkas, President Biden’s Homeland Security secretary, should be impeached over the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
As Biden earlier this month made his first visit to the border as president, Abbott was waiting for him on the tarmac at the airport in El Paso, Texas. The governor handed the president a letter in which he charged,"Your visit to our southern border with Mexico today is $20 billion too little and two years too late."
The governor told Fox News that in his inaugural address, he’ll"point out that the reason why Texas is coming out of pocket $4 billion to secure the border is because Joe Biden is missing in action as it concerns border security. I will outline all of the strategies that we have deployed, which are unprecedented to secure the border, and tell the public that we will once again be funding border security for the next two years.
Abbott topped Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke – a former congressman who unsuccessfully ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination – by 11 points in November, his third straight double-digit gubernatorial victory in the reliably red state.
