The Biden administration has proven that they have no interest in stemming the flow of illegal entries at the southern border, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott decided to do something about it:
Biden has his head in the sand when it comes to the border.
His policies are allowing drugs, weapons, & COVID to spread into our communities.@TxDPS & @TexasGuard have been deployed to stop the surge of illegal activity at the border & restore the rule of law. pic.twitter.com/c1dQAEB3jo

That caught the attention of Attorney General Merrick Garland, who is taking matters to a surreal next level:
New: AG Garland has sent a letter to Texas Gov. @GregAbbott_TX threatening to sue over a newly-signed executive order that aims to restrict the transportation of recently-arrived migrants in the state. Garland calls the order "dangerous and unlawful." pic.twitter.com/jL5HmWHyqH

Wanting to stop people who entered the country illegally and might be Covid positive from wandering the countryside is a “dangerous and unlawful” thing for a governor to do?
It's illegal to stop illegals.
Thanks Merrick. https://t.co/zn6Yt8YEZg

Allowing covid positive migrants to be bussed and shipped to the interior of our country is dangerous and unlawful. What the hell is AG Garland trying to do? Did this cause the surge in the pandemic? https://t.co/itRqfVWrdK

Is “recently arrived migrants” the new term for illegal immigrants? https://t.co/4fndkd1qQL

Maybe AG Garland’s a secret member of Abbott’s campaign team.
Does @GregAbbott_TX have to declare this lawsuit on his FEC report as a campaign contribution? https://t.co/zOT4PQfQcK

Governor Abbott responded:
The Biden admin. fundamentally misunderstands what's happening at the border.
They are jeopardizing the health & safety of Texans on a daily basis by refusing to follow the law.
I will take every step consistent with the law to fulfill my duty to protect all Texans. pic.twitter.com/CHn4aN17iD

Point of order:
I'm sorry to disagree with you, but the Biden Administration most certainly DOES understand what is happening.
It's all by design.— Sandy 〽️ (@RightGlockMom) July 30, 2021
