ABBOTT SAYS BIDEN ADMIN NEEDS TO 'UP THEIR GAME, BIG TIME' AS TEXAS GRAPPLES WITH MIGRANT SURGE

JOHN CORNYN: I would say it’s a failure of the administration to perform one of the most basic functions a government is supposed to perform which is to defend our borders, protect our national sovereignty and enforce our laws. 

​​There is no deterrence. There are no consequences associated with illegally entering the United States. Under the Biden administration, they’re waved through and told to appear for a future hearing and we know the majority of them will not show up. And so this is an invitation for more people to do exactly the same and that’s what I predict. If they wanted to stop it, they would. We know from the Border Patrol that there are three things that we need. We need Border Patrol agents, we need infrastructure called a fence or wall and we need technology. We need the will to actually accomplish the job. That’s what’s lacking here. And the American people are simply being lied to.
