Meanwhile down at the Texas Border

Gregg Abbott is wasting lots of taxpayer money trying to create an illegal immigration problem for President Biden.
The immigrants are not there.
Keep an eye on this guy as he monitors the border and the places that temporarily house the folks coming here.

Really. This border crisis has been "ginned up" by the Rethugs. Certainly there are issues but MSM and the Rethugs are making it far worse. But this is their playbook.

Then complain about ’Biden’s” border crisis on the news shows with zero pushback about their intentional lack of action.

11. Abbott is doing this to try to hurt Biden, but I think he has another motive.

He wants to be president, and he may be positioning himself as the Trump alternative if Trump is convicted or his dementia becomes so obvious that Republicans decide to dump him. Abbott would have an advantage over Haley because she has no experience with migrants, and Abbott would win the rabid evangelicals and the anti-immigrant crowds in a heartbeat because he does the mean, hateful things they like.
