Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) harshly criticized the Biden administration over its recent executive action on border security, accusing it of “gaslighting” Americans.

The White House announced on Tuesday that President Joe Biden would ban illegal immigrants from taking asylum in the United States, which would remain in effect so long as the seven-day average of apprehended migrants by Border Patrol agents is above 2,500 arrests per day. Abbott contended that this order does not offer any security to the southern border, nor is there anything to prevent anyone from illegally crossing.
