Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is willing to go to court over his controversial border enforcement policy- deploying inflatable buoys earlier this month in the Rio Grande to curb illegal border crossings.
The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Texas on Monday after the state refused to address its controversial border enforcement policy.
At question is an inflatable barrier Texas installed in the Rio Grande earlier this month in an effort to curb illegal border crossings. The Department of Justice informed the state of Texas last week that it did not receive proper authorization for the barriers, which the DOJ insists violate federal law.
"The fact is, if you would just enforce the immigration laws Congress already has on the books, America would not be suffering from your record-breaking level of illegal immigration," Abbott states in his letter.
