Texas Gov. Greg Abbott talks about the border at RNC_ FULL SPEECH

Published | Video Starts at 03:56

They built those barriers to stop illegal crossings. When Joe Biden ordered to cut that razor wire, I ordered the National Guard to triple the razor wire on the border. When Biden took 50 acres of Texas border property to illegally process up to 5,000 illegal immigrants a day, I directed the Texas National Guard to take back our land and wire it shut. Now there, there's no longer 5,000 people crossing the border like there was under Joe Biden. Now that the National Guard wired that shut, on average, there is one illegal immigrant crossing the border at that location. (03:56–04:17)

Asserts that President Biden used Texas land for processing immigrants, and Abbott reclaimed it.
