Texas Gov. Greg Abbott hit back at Joe Biden’s allegation that he was using illegal aliens as pawns and said that in reality, it’s the president himself who’s doing that, and in the process, he’s “destroying the country that he’s in charge of.”
Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Abbott didn’t hold back:
So the person who’s actually using illegal immigrants as political pawns is Joe Biden.
Joe Biden has created this open border policy that has allowed illegal immigrants into our country to appeal to and to appease the far leftists in the Democrat Party, the people like [Rep. Alexandra] Ocasio-Cortez [D-N.Y.], in hopes of trying to win their support while at the same time destroying the country that he’s in charge of.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott defended his position to bus migrants to “sanctuary cities” after being accused of toying with people’s lives.
Responding to a clip in which New York City Mayor Eric Adams offered for Abbott to stay in one of the migrant shelters, but not before warning the Texas governor not to “displace problems” onto “local municipalities,” Abbott said that it is not he who is playing with people’s lives but Biden.
Asked to respond to Adams’ saying he is “morally bankrupt” and uses migrants as “political pawns,” Abbott told “Fox News Sunday,” “The person who is actually using illegal immigrants as political pawns is Joe Biden.”
He continued: “Joe Biden has created an open border policy that has allowed illegal immigrants into our country — to appeal to and to appease the far leftists in the Democrat Party, the people like [Rep. Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez, and the hopes of trying to win their support while at the same time destroying the country that he is in charge of.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) pushed back on President Biden’s argument that the governor is using asylum-seekers as “political pawns,” instead claiming it is Biden himself who is doing this.
“So the person who’s actually using illegal immigrants as political pawns is Joe Biden,” Abbott said during an interview on “Fox News Sunday.” “Joe Biden has created this open border policy that has allowed illegal immigrants into our country to appeal to and to appease the far leftists in the Democrat Party, the people like [Rep. Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez [D-N.Y.], in hopes of trying to win their support while at the same time destroying the country that he’s in charge of.”
Biden has repeatedly criticized Abbott and other Republican governors’ attempts to take their own actions at the border, arguing they have used migrants for their own political gains.
“Instead of working with us on solutions, Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props,” Biden said in 2022.
Abbott reiterated his argument that Biden is pursuing “political games” and putting the country “at risk” because of his border policies. He likened the president to New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D), who has also been a staunch critic of the governor’s policies.
Abbott began sending buses of migrants to New York City and other so-called sanctuary cities for nearly two years, and Adams has repeatedly demanded more federal resources to deal with the influx.
