Texas governor exposes ‘hypocrisy’ of Dem push for states’ rights in Minnesota after Biden years
This affects the entire country.
EXCLUSIVE: Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott called out the "hypocrisy" of the Democratic Party advocating for states’ rights in Minnesota after he was widely lambasted, and even sued, for his efforts to enforce the border during the Biden administration.
Abbott remarked that "hypocrisy is the word choice that really applies to them, because, suddenly, these Minnesota states, they want to insist on states' rights," during an interview with Fox News Digital.
In 2021, Abbott launched "Operation Lone Star," which deployed state troopers and the Texas National Guard to the border and funded barrier construction to deter illegal crossings. He was sued by the administration that same year. Abbott said that Texas’ struggle with the Biden administration is fundamentally different from the controversy in Minnesota and other sanctuary states.

Look at the criminals, the rapists and murderers who came into Houston, Texas, that Joe Biden allowed in."
"We are a nation that was built upon the rule of law, and the rule of law has to be enforced. When it is enforced, it leads to safer communities," he added.
The result, according to Abbott, was an over 85 percent decrease in illegal immigration in the state and a simultaneous over 40 percent decrease in fentanyl deaths.
Now, Abbott is running for re-election on a platform that he says will double down on making Texas a top destination for people seeking not only economic opportunity, but also "the opportunity of freedom to live their own life."
One of the core issues Abbott is running on is a plan to slash property taxes in Texas during the next legislative session. Abbott has proposed a five-step overhaul of the Texas property tax system that includes limiting local government spending growth to population growth or inflation, …
