We're joined tonight by members of our National Guard and DPS who served on the border. Join me in thanking them for their service to secure our state. I also declared an invasion at the border. I designated Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. And we took the border to Biden by busing more than 100,000 migrants to sanctuary cities like D.C. and New York City. But none of those tactics would have been possible without funding by the legislature. (22:14–22:20)
