Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told Newsmax on Friday that terrorists who are on the terror watchlist pay extra to avoid being apprehended when they cross into the United States.
Abbott joined "Greg Kelly Reports" in the studio in New York City to address the illegal immigration problem under President Joe Biden , one that he said is rife with national security threats, especially because nobody knows how many on that watchlist are in the country.
"FBI Director Wray indicated that because of the terrorists coming across the border, it could lead to a 9/11-type terrorist attack. We have a president whose top responsibility is national security. The president is failing at national security," Abbott said. "Part of it is, listen, the left-wingers in the Democrat Party like and others like that, they were demanding this," Abbott said. "Remember there was a poll recently showing about 20% of Democrats believe that we should not have borders in the United States of America. And he's trying to appeal to the far left of the Democrat Party."
