Gov. Greg Abbott calls for other states' help at Texas border, despite drop in illegal crossings

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : He has touted the $4.5 billion Texas has spent on border security and tweeted out videos showing troops putting up razor wire to keep out migrants.
43% : The Biden administration said Monday that the Border Patrol had logged fewer than 5,000 unlawful crossings per day over the previous three days -- a high figure, but far from the more than 10,000 daily crossings last week in the lead-up to Title 42's end on Thursday night.
42% : The administration has said the situation remains "very fluid," but are hopeful that messaging about harsher consequences for those who cross the border illegally, including a presumption of ineligibility for asylum, is having an effect.
