Gov. Abbott to Biden during El Paso trip: These five policies will help secure border

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : Abbott said he welcomed the president to the southern border.
55% : He also said U.S. House Republicans have committed to border security measures and he expects the federal government to reimburse Texas.
50% : He also said that "Texas desperately needs more money" after having already spent $4 billion of Texas taxpayer money on border security efforts.
48% : They include complying with federal law requiring detention and deportation of those in the U.S. illegally, fully complying with court orders to implement Remain in Mexico and Title 42 policies, finishing building the border wall in Texas, and designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
44% : The fourth, to "immediately resume construction of the border wall" in Texas, is something the administration has vowed not to do after it halted construction shortly after the president took office.
33% : In his letter, Abbott told the president, "even the city you visit has been sanitized of the migrant camps which have overrun downtown El Paso because your administration wants to shield you from the chaos that Texans experience on a daily basis," which is a direct result "of your failure to enforce the immigration laws that Congress enacted." While illegal immigration slowed under the Trump administration, Abbott said, under Biden's watch, "America is suffering the worst illegal immigration in the history of our country."
21% : The third, to "aggressively prosecute illegal entry between ports of entry and allow ICE to remove illegal immigrants in accordance with federal laws," the Biden administration is also fighting in court.
