Greg Abbott\u2019s press secretary Renae Eze told the Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cClaiming he hasn\u2019t had time to visit the border in over 44 years in public office, including now as Commander-in-Chief charged with defending our nation\u2019s sovereignty, is pathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans deserve better,\u201d Eze added. \u201cWhile President Biden refuses to do his job and ignores the pleas for help from our border communities, Texas continues stepping up by deploying thousands of National Guard soldiers and DPS troopers to secure our border and protect Texans.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"14.094339622642\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The schedule called for wheels down around noon, an hour drive to Mesilla, NM, and later back to El Paso five hours later.<\/p>\n<p>Other than a motorcade ride at times near the border, there was no specific border-related stop<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mike Memoli (@mikememoli) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mikememoli\/status\/1451597132557860870?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 22, 2021<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Border officials have <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/22\/border-encounters-september-joe-biden\/\">encountered<\/a> more than 1.5 million migrants at the southern border since Biden took office in January, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/southwest-land-border-encounters\">according<\/a> to Customs and Border Protection data.
