Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) on Friday was asked to address his recent comments that Texas isn’t shooting illegal border crossers because the Biden administration would sue the state for “murder.”
“We are using every tool that can be used from building a border wall, to building these border barriers, to passing this law that I signed that led to another lawsuit by the Biden administration where I signed a law making it illegal for somebody to enter Texas from another country,” Abbott said on “The Dana Loesch Show” last week.
“The only thing that we’re not doing is we’re not shooting people who come across the border, because of course the Biden administration would charge us with murder,” Abbott later added.
On Friday, a reporter asked Abbott about those remarks.
“I was asked to point out where the line is drawn about what would be illegal, and I pointed out something that’s obviously illegal,” Abbott said.
