Texas Governor Greg Abbott slammed President Joe Biden and his administration on Sunday in response to the border crisis that the administration has caused with its policies which comes as the situation at the border is expected to get significantly worse this week as Title 42 is set to expire.

Abbott made the remarks on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream when asked about comments from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who claimed that the border is closed and that the immigration problem is Congress’ fault.

Bream also noted that the White House is trying to blame Abbott in-part for the immigration crisis because he has shipped some illegal aliens to blue states because Texas simply does not have the resources to deal with the surge in illegal aliens.

“Well, first of all, the reason why we are busing those migrants across the country is because small little towns on the border like Del Rio and Eagle Pass, they have no capacity to deal with the number of people coming across the border, and we have to relieve the congestion in those small communities and bus them to larger communities,” Abbott responded. “That said, Shannon, it must be pointed out also, everything that you just said that Mayorkas said is just a flat out lie or total ignorance. He says that the border is closed. Everybody in America knows that the border is not closed and it’s more open.”

Abbott noted that the border situation was significantly better under the Trump administration and that it rapidly deteriorated “only when Biden came in and eliminated all those policies and put down a welcome back — welcome mat to the entire world that the border is now open, that we suddenly have the chaos that has caused solely by policies put into place by Joe Biden.”

Abbott laughed on Biden’s attempt to place a small number of troops along the 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexico border, saying that Biden was sending them there “to do paperwork, and he’s not going to secure the border.”

WATCH:

The police officer who took down the shooter at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, on Saturday made a brief phone call from one of the stores asking for assistance — just before he engaged the suspect himself.

The police officer, whose name has not yet been released to the public, was reportedly already on the scene at the outlet mall — for an unrelated issue — when the shooting started, and he ran into an H&M store to call for as much backup as possible.

According to audio recordings obtained by The Daily Mail, the officer ran toward the chaos as he heard it unfolding just outside. Describing the scene to the dispatcher, he said, “I’ve got people running. There’s still shooting. I need everybody I got.”

Just a few moments later, however, after engaging the shooter alone, he gave the dispatcher an update: “I got him down.”

The next call to dispatch reportedly came from someone else: “We got victims. I need an ambulance.”

Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey told the press, “He heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, engaged the suspect, and neutralized the suspect.”

The gunman, whose name will not be published pursuant the The Daily Wire’s policy denying mass shooters the notoriety they so often seek, could be seen on a dashcam video as he exited a vehicle outside the mall and opened fire, shooting at people on the sidewalk with a rifle. He was dressed in tactical gear and fired dozens of rounds before the lone officer ran toward him, shooting and killing him.

Later reports indicated that he was also armed with a handgun and had additional weapons in his vehicle.

Including the shooter, seven people were pronounced dead at the scene — and two more succumbed to their injuries after being taken to the hospital. At least another seven were hospitalized and treated for injuries related to the shooting, and the victims reportedly ranged in age from 5 to 61 years old.
