Governor Greg Abbott Monday defended Texas’ right to secure the border through the recent deployment of floating marine barriers in the Rio Grande River. In a letter to President Biden, the Governor counters threats by the U.S. Department of Justice to sue the state over the barriers by pointing out that the U.S. Constitution grants Texas sovereign authority to protect its borders because the President refuses to enforce federal immigration laws.
