Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) has called on Governor Abbott (R-TX) to continue his efforts in Texas to secure the border. In a statement released today, Hinson criticized the Biden Administration for failing to enforce current immigration laws and for incentivizing illegal immigration.

According to Hinson, the crisis at the Southern Border has reached a breaking point and can be described as a "full-scale invasion invited by the Biden Administration's open border policies." She believes that Governor Abbott has the authority to protect Texans and Americans from this national security crisis and should continue working to do so.

Hinson's statement comes at a time when border security has become a major concern for many Americans. The influx of migrants crossing the border has put a strain on resources and has raised concerns about public safety.

Governor Abbott has taken several steps to address the border crisis in Texas. He has deployed the National Guard and state troopers to the border, implemented stricter immigration policies, and called for the construction of a border wall.

However, Hinson believes that more needs to be done. She argues that Governor Abbott has the authority to take further actions to secure the border and protect the citizens of Texas. She urges him to continue his efforts and not be deterred by the Biden Administration's lack of support.

The Congresswoman's statement reflects the growing frustration among Republicans regarding the Biden Administration's immigration policies. They argue that the lax enforcement of immigration laws and the rollback of certain border security measures have only worsened the situation at the Southern Border.

Hinson's call for action from Governor Abbott aligns with the sentiments of many Republicans who believe that it is the responsibility of state governments to protect their citizens when the federal government fails to do so.

As the border crisis continues to unfold, it remains to be seen what actions Governor Abbott will take in response to Hinson's call. However, one thing is clear - the issue of border security will remain a key focus for Republicans in the coming months.
