Abbott promises to hire Border Patrol agents punished by Biden administration
By Joseph Choi - 09/26/21 10:04 AM EDT Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Sunday pledged his support for any Border Patrol agents who are punished by the Biden administration, saying he will hire any who are at risk of losing their jobs.
When asked by "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace to respond to images of officers on horseback blocking Haitian migrants from entering the U.S. while appearing to use their reins for intimidation, Abbott laid blame on the Biden administration, saying "they wouldn't have been in that situation had the Biden administration enforced the immigration laws."
President Biden has condemned the images of mounted officers aggressively blocking Haitian migrants from crossing the border and has promised that there will be consequences.
"If he takes any action against them whatsoever — I have worked side by side with those Border Patrol agents — I want them to know something. If they are risk of losing their job by a president who is abandoning his duty to secure the border, you have a job in the state of Texas. I will hire you to help Texas secure our border," said Abbott on Sunday.
