Ron read Gov. Abbott’s response to Biden’s threat to sue Texas over the Marine Barriers placed in the Rio Grande River. He also critiqued the letter illustrating some weakness and some strengths in the letter. Ron’s purpose was to encourage Gov. Abbott to be more confident in his authority as Governor and Commander-in-Chief to call up the militia of Texas to enforce the laws including those on the border. Ron defined the border problem as one of criminals breaking and sneaking into Texas knowing they can not comply with U.S. Immigration laws to get in at one of the ports of entry on the Rio Grande. Ron had two great callers from Colorado and Missouri. Ron also read some of the law involved. Here is a link to Abbott’s letter which also includes the other letters Abbott sent and delivered to Biden: https://gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/press/O-BidenJoseph_07.24.23.pdf
