The Republican recently addressed the recent horrific finding at the southern border, a truck filled with deceased migrant, and demanded action be taken.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cUnder President Trump, we saw the fewest illegal crossings in decades,\u201d he stated. \u201cUnder President Biden we see all-time record highs.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a press conference on Wednesday, Abbott said the truck carrying the migrants had to have travel through a checkpoint, but likely passed unchecked due to limited Border Patrol resources.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cMany of these deaths could\u2019ve been prevented if Biden simply fully funded the Border Patrol operation of the United States of America and implemented the policies that the Border Patrol needs in order to do the real job,\u201d asserted the Governor. \u201c\u2026The real job is both to secure the border as well as to do things like inspect the vehicle that was carrying those people who lost their lives.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Abbott further urged the Biden administration to reinstate Trump-era policies like finishing the wall and re-implementing remain in Mexico. He highlighted the efforts of his own state while suggesting Texas is doing more than any state in history, including building its own wall and boosting security at the border.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cDPS (Department of Public Safety) will create and implement a checkpoint strategy beginning immediately where they will begin targeting trucks like the one that was used where these people perished,\u201d said Abbott. \u201cTo make sure that we will have a better capability of perhaps stopping future trucks like that, as well as stopping the smugglers and the cartel members who are trying to profiteer off of it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joined state &#038; local officials in Eagle Pass to announce the expansion of Texas\u2019 ongoing border security operations. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TxDPS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TxDPS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TXMilitary?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TXMilitary<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Lone Star State will not sit idly by as President Biden ignores the crisis at our southern border. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RJQFtQcOXK\">https:\/\/t.co\/RJQFtQcOXK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gov.
