I’m glad that Jake Tapper lets Governor Abbott answer the questions uninterrupted. It’s not a matter of whether I agree or disagree, I want to hear the discussion and make my own conclusions. If I feel I didn’t get enough information to make conclusions, then I am free to seek out additional information.
Governor Abboutt ought to ring up for Trump .
@Timothy Lopez no way will he listen to you, he’s a troll.
Lies should be interrupted and exposed!
@DynaCatlovesme Agree. It’s a journalists job to challenge the lies not just give liars a platform.

We really need to set consecutive term limits. He needs to GO!
Maybe the Democrats should actually produce someone that can beat him. Term limits or not, it’s Texas. It’ll always be a red state.
He really does need to go

Invasion definition: “an unwelcome intrusion into another’s domain.” 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Love how you ignore the definitions before that one. A simple google search shows that as a third definition.
Sorry pal but I’m in a country of immigrants, so are you if you live in America, I’m American and I believe in humanitarian aide, like every real American should. If you don’t believe in that, that’s un-American.
@A H The act of invading, especially the entrance of an armed force into a territory to conquer.
The entry into bodily tissue and subsequent proliferation of an injurious entity, such as a pathogen or tumor.
An intrusion or encroachment.
5.5 million illegals fits the definition

Abbott is such a shill. It’s everyone’s fault but his.
When I was in Switzerland in 1984, an American with a cause wanted to let me know that in Switzerland if the economy was poor, and employment was a problem for Swiss people to find jobs, immigrants with lawful jobs would be told to leave. The Swiss gov would make them leave. His underlying argument was to get me to agree that in America those coming into our country from the southern border should be stopped. There had been a bad recession in America and so he made this argument. Today, I tend to believe that most and I mean most are coming to America to get away from awful situations. I would not be surprised if most are coming for employment opportunities that just don’t exist in their communities. Check the data on this. If most are the ones who are being persecuted, then, I would be more than happy to admit I am wrong about this. Those who are looking for employment and a better life are the immigrants Gov. Abbott complains most about but he doesn’t seem to be too specific about this. He objects to the disorganized manner that these immigrants are coming in. However, sometime, humanitarian needs of people looks ugly, and it doesn’t fit within the nice and neat communities that we have built for ourselves. Texas doesn’t want to see the ugliness. When Russia invaded Ukraine and millions travelled to the border towns in Poland and other border counties, Poles and others drove to the borders and found Ukrainians who needed a home and picked them up and drove them to their homes or to the homes of others and to transitional sites so that the refugees could be helped. In Przemysl, Poland, an abandoned Tesco was opened and in one week’s time, with agencies represented by multiple European counties, and even Japan, the United States and Korea it became a site where refugees could find medical aide, mental health counseling, food and shelter and a free transit on the railways to destinations all over Europe. Perhaps, we should think of these immigrants from south of the border and those from other places more as refugees to some degree rather than simply immigrants. The law is specific but sometimes when humanity requires it, doing the right thing is a conscious choice that must be made. Just think if you were in their shoes, but for the grace of G_d you are not, but if you were, how you would not just think about your circumstances but how you would survive.
@Tracy Parsons they have help border patrol is federal and fema is also. If Abbott would stop wasting with the fear mongering political theater, his state would have money. Who spends 20 million on two airplane flights? Greg Abbott does. That’s who.
Got that right!
The republicans tried to get Americans and africans fight to take down booths numbers here.. they had zero clues they become the main target only of two races who outnumber Europeans in usa today.. they tried a scam and it costed all Europeans here.. ask me how I know this.. I’m who white people tried to destroy to frame africans to the majority of this contient.. Israel is caught on that trump got caught.. they can’t remain in Mexico or earth. That is out of their option pool.. that is where the rhetoric comes from they know they are people who can’t remain on this contient.. not a chance.. you don’t get to kidnap children to incite the contient of america to become violent.. Canada and usa both are guilty of that.. and it’s centered in republicans in usa only and in Canada both conservative and liberals.. Biden knows about this.. what he may not realize.. we cant share our lands any longer with people trying to incite two other races to destroy both.. what republicans did costs everyone here.. Russia is going to replace Europeans here with Asian countries that stand against europeans trying to steal a continent.. Europeans aren’t from here can’t come in and make rules.. says ww3.. you won’t see Greg Abbott fighting in war.. he has friends and family who mandatory are going off to fight.. it’s his party’s fight only.. a holy war white vs Americans.. same as Hitler’s plot.. to invade USA and rewrite that Europeans were here over 100 years ago magically.. they mostly came.here after war then tried to overthrow everything here..
Many Republicans have a history of hiring immigrants and deny it. I wouldn’t believe Abbott. He has misrepresented this situation.

I am so tired of our government going back and forth. It’s like children always fighting one another. Just get the job done and stop playing the blame game. The borders have been an issues for years under all of our leaders.

As a Texan, it annoys me that abbott has been governor since 2015 and he’s saying how bad things are… some leadership
Why does brainwashed Americans keep voting for these heartless, evil, liar, selfish, narcissistic, bad, shameless, con, fraud, and etc. politicians⁉️🙄😕🤨
It kind of reminds me of Biden, except he’s been in the federal government since 1973.
Move to California if you don’t like Texas 😂😂😂😂 maybe get a job picking poop off the street?

About 1980 or so… Heard Brandon on the radio selling VAWA to a big room full of women. Sounded like throwing meat to a pack of wolves.

Jake, I enjoy all of your newscasts and believe you do an excellent job. Please focus on the fact that it is Republican governors, Texas. Florida. That are sending busloads to Democratic metropolitan cities, Chicago, Denver, and others. Why doesn’t Lauren Boebert, a Colorado resident, stand against this and the destruction it is bringing to our state. Thousands of immigrants have been transported to Denver. In the middle of winter, without appropriate clothes. how can a governor of another state inflict, this type of responsibility onto a metropolitan city of a state he is not governor of? Obviously, there is no funding for this. The state of Colorado as well as Illinois are forced to distribute the bus loads of people that are arriving, scrambling to find clothing and a place to stay in the middle of winter. With some of the worst weather conditions in decades.
Der, more apprehensions than ever means good job Biden!

@sarbantz except Martha’s Vineyard, our Sanctuary City isn’t accepting Brown People at this moment, we only virtue signal about caring.
I didn’t just hear Gov. Abbott say this “I can’t remember whether the ranking incident officer was fired or resigned” after such an horrendous event in the city of Uvalde, really.
Exactly
@Jonathan Sterling
The Uvalde population was decreased by 21 due to a psychopath who was able to buy two AR15’s within a week of his 18th birthday and went on a killing spree at the elementary school in Uvalde.
@Michelle Bobier-Groves
That’s nothing to do with the title of the video. But no surprise the host went on a shooting spree, too…
@Michelle Bobier-Groves
Also no surprise he came from a dissolved family. “Marriage is the most important institution to civilize young people” (Ann Coulter). Fathers were for teaching boys respect for the law. Marriage is not just about adults.

If they whine this hard and soley blame anybody but themselves, they are deflecting to make up for all they lack as an individual
So you are saying gov Abbott should have the land owners just shoot illegals on site?
Who are you talking about?

This border issue has been going on for 20+years and nobody seems to know how to fix it!!!
@Jeremiah Johnson Trump didn’t do anything.
Both parties never cared about that same border Kendrick to begin with, they always accused them of being drug dealers and rapists, and to be honest with you, it’s goddamn sickening.
@HappyFan yeah you are right he didn’t care, all he wanted was goddamn money.

Our electric bills were raised in Texas because when our grid when down, during that winter storm, and we were days without electricity Ercot lost money. And they told us that was why. Tell me again how many people died in Texas during that storm?
246 Texans lost their lives during the winter storm of 2021.
Stay on the topic
Jesus Robbie, does your state regret voting this guy in office?

Tells you to “think how many”, but has absolutely no idea what the numbers might be, then triples down on calling it an invasion.
5.5 million in the last 2 years. It’s an invasion.

I’m a hard core Democrat, always will be. I was born on the border. I have Native and Irish ancestors. Even with all that, I can’t disagree with Abbott’s assessment although I disagree with everything else he does.
I do not support these people coming here illegally. I don’t support them coming at all actually.
It’s my likely bias view, immigration from Latin America should be halted altogether for at least 20 years.
And, fines and imprisonment for those who hire them, especially repeatedly. That ends the problem.
Says this life long Democrat who wouldn’t vote for a Republican if you paid me millions to do so.
Maybe we should not have interfered with their politics in the first place?

He’s the “Texas Governor”, just to clarify that. Our country needs to resources to handle immigration. We don’t have that for the numbers we are seeing. Immigrants do all the work in this country because our kids are too lazy to do it and I worked my way through college doing LABOR for minimum wage. I applaud those who come to this country and do what our spoiled cell phone carrying lazy teenagers and 20 somethings won’t. I also applaud those teenagers who are not spoiled by parents and who DO work hard as young adults.

I would ask Texas Gov. Abbott of these people he referred to as “dangerous and terrorist watch list” that have come across the border, how much damage have they caused to the people of the United States? I assume that many are here already causing damages to the country? what are the damages? Compare that to the people within your own party (GOP) and the damages you and the republican party have done and continue to pose on the U.S. people? If you would like add the democratic party to your list of the damages if it seems to make sense to you? Let’s see the damages in ascending order?
