In a blazing battle of the border, President Andre Manuel Lopez Obrador of Mexico is throwing shade at Texas after Governor Greg Abbott signed a sizzling new law, SB 4, making illegal immigration a crime on the state level. Oh, the drama! The Mexican prez is all fired up, threatening legal action against the lone star state. He’s calling Abbott’s bold move “inhumane,” but really, who’s calling the shots here? It’s a real showdown at the OK corral.
Abbott isn’t holding back either. He’s pointing the finger directly at President Biden, blaming him for turning a blind eye to illegal immigration. With a twinkle in his eye, he’s saying, “Four years ago, we had a handle on illegal border crossings thanks to President Trump, but Biden’s put the kibosh on it all.” Abbott’s not sitting on his hands, no sir. He’s taking matters into his own cowboy boots and cracking down on the flood of illegal entry into Texas.
President Biden’s deliberate inaction at the border left Texas to fend for itself.

But hold on to your hats, folks, ’cause that’s not all. Abbott’s throwing down the gauntlet with not one, not two, but three new laws to ensure that Texas is as secure as Fort Knox. He’s beefing up border security with additional funding for a bigger, badder border wall and taking a tough stance on human smuggling. Yeehaw, Governor Abbott!
Meanwhile, south of the border, Lopez Obrador isn’t taking Abbott’s moves lying down. He’s rounding up his legal posse and making preparations to challenge Texas in the U.S. Courts. He’s calling Abbott out, saying he’s just trying to win some brownie points but he’s barking up the wrong cactus. The Mexican prez is all riled up and ready to defend his compatriots who’ve headed north of the border.
Abbott, on the other hand, is throwing some serious shade back at Lopez Obrador. He’s pointing the finger at the Mexican prez, saying he’s the real culprit behind the illegal immigration crisis. Abbott’s not mincing words, accusing Lopez Obrador of subjecting migrants to downright despicable conditions and then sending them on their merry way to Texas. Somebody get the popcorn, because this showdown is heating up faster than a skillet of fajitas.
And just when you think the dust has settled, in rides Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Union, to praise Abbott’s heroic moves in the fight against illegal immigration. He’s tipping his hat to Abbott, saying he’s the real sheriff in town, standing up to the so-called woke radicals and keeping the Lone Star State safe and sound. Well, ain’t that a plot twist!
So grab your boots, folks, ’cause this border brouhaha is just getting started. With Texas and Mexico squaring off like a pair of old gunslingers, it’s anybody’s guess who’ll come out on top in this wild, wild West showdown. But one thing’s for sure, there’s never a dull moment when it comes to the Lone Star State and its border battles.
