Biden’s open border policies have become a big problem as immigrants are pouring themselves in from the border. People from outside have started overfilling the centers for illegal immigrants. Texas and Arizona is experiencing a massive influx of immigrants due to Biden’s border policies. Nine GOP governors came to Texas to meet Governor Abbott and discuss the policies of Biden. The governors visited the border and then criticized Biden for the crisis.

Texas Stepped Up To Keep Communities Safe, Says Texas Governor Greg Abbott

After Biden refused to change his policies, Abbott decided to protect the border with National Guards. He also urged other Republican Governors to assist him by sending some of their troops. Furthermore, Abbott said, “Texas has stepped up to keep our communities safe and mitigate this crisis ourselves, and our efforts have been made stronger by the support and assistance of governors from across the nation.”

Abbott Thanks Other Governors For Helping Texas

Abbott thanked other Governors for voluntarily sending their troops and safeguarding the border in Texas. He said, “I thank the state governors who are here with me today for their support and for visiting the border to see firsthand the ramifications of President Biden’s disastrous policies. Together, we are sending a strong message to the Biden Administration that we will not tolerate their refusal to secure the border — and we will continue to do whatever it takes to keep our communities safe.”

Texas Abortion Law Sparks Protest All Across The US

Governor Greg Abbott passed an abortion law in his state of Texas in May which now prevents women from seeking an abortion after completing 6 weeks of pregnancy. The rule is one of the harshest abortion laws in the US. As per Abbott, the law “ensures that the life of every unborn child who has a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion.” The law has not gone down well with the women in America who came down to the streets to protest against the law. The protest took place on the Supreme Court, the Texas Capitol and cities across the United States.

Why Are Women Protesting Against The Abortion Law Implemented In Texas

As per the law implemented by Abbott, women will not be allowed to abort six weeks after pregnancy. The logic behind keeping six weeks as the time period is that the embryo starts showing signs of cardiac activity after this period. However, the most horrific aspect of this is that most women don’t get to know about their pregnancy within six weeks and so the law comes as a huge problem for them. Another questionable aspect is that Abbott has refused to exclude women who will get impregnated due to rape. All of these concerns have forced women to protest against the law.
