Biden border order draws mixed Texas reactions
Texas Republicans and some Democrats criticized the executive action aimed at deterring illegal crossings, while Biden defended the move as necessary amid a migrant surge. Key figures include Sen. John Cornyn, Gov. Greg Abbott, Rep. Veronica Escobar, and Rep. Colin Allred. The policy would turn away migrants not entering at legal ports when crossings exceed 2,500 daily, with a curtailment when they fall to 1,500.
