Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has invoked the right to "self-defense" to combat the state's border crisis following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to allow Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire installed along the U.S.-Mexico border.
President Joe Biden claimed that House Republicans are "playing chicken" with U.S. national security, as they have refused further funding for Ukraine unless security for the southern border is also provided.
An interim report from the House Republicans' Committee on Homeland Security revealed that the Biden administration's border policies could cost taxpayers as much as $451 billion.
