Texas Gov. Abbott insists state has right to protect border amid feud with President Biden

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, locked in an escalating feud with the Biden administration over migrant crossings, on Sunday asserted Texas' right to protect its borders. 

At a press conference with more than a dozen GOP governors held at the border town of Eagle Pass, Texas, Abbott called on Mr. Biden to decisively address migrant crossings at the U.S. southern border, which reached a record monthly high in December. 

Abbott claimed Mr. Biden had "completely abdicated and abandoned his responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States."
