'Game of Pretend': Texas Governor Says Neither Biden Nor Harris Have Called About US-Mexico Border

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has announced that, in lieu of a federally funded border wall on the US-Mexico border wall, the Lone Star state will construct its own wall along the southern border with Mexico. Federal funds for the structure were redirected, as US President Joe Biden believed the project was “a waste of money.”

During a recent Ruthless podcast interview, Governor Abbott revealed that there has been little collaboration or communication with the White House regarding the burgeoning buildup of migrant encounters at the Southwest border. 

Harris, who recently returned from a trip to Central America, has maintained that her primary goal as point-person will be addressing the root causes contributing to the influx of migrants traveling to the US.  

During the month of May alone, US authorities logged 180,034 encounters along the Southwest land border, according to US Customs and Border Protection data. 

“They have a game of pretend going on, they are pretending that the Texas border does not exist because they’re not talking about it either publicly or privately or calling us or anything else like that,” the Texas governor said during the interview. “They just have this attitude that the Texas border with Mexico does not exist.” 

The Texas governor detailed that those “in the United States or everybody in the entire world” will be able to contribute to the border wall construction fund.   

“Everyone will know every penny in, every penny out. But the sole purpose for those funds will be going to build the border wall,” he said, emphasizing that the fund will have “great transparency.”
