Governor Greg Abbott gave several GOP Governors a tour of the Texas border Monday afternoon. The tour comes on the eve of a federal court hearing involving a lawsuit challenging Texas’ authority to deploy nearly a thousand feet of buoys near the Camino Real bridge in Eagle Pass.
Abbott hosted Governors from Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Oklahoma. All support his efforts along the border and all blame President Joe Biden’s administration for the record number of apprehensions seen along our border. As part of Operation Lone Star, the Texas Department of Public Safety launched the buoys last month. Eagle Pass is within Border Patrol’s Del Rio sector, which has become the second busiest sector for apprehensions along the entire southwest border.
“We are fully authorized by the Constitution of the United States of America, to do exactly what we are doing,” said Abbott. “Out of an abundance of caution, Texas went back and moved the buoys into a location that they are on the United States side,” Abbott said following the tour.
