Where's the Abbott border wall? Billions of $ for what? Where? Who are the contractors?

Texas AG sues Biden administration for cutting razor wire at the US-Mexico border

Dodge. Duck. Deflect.
Can someone else explain what the billions we've given Abbott are doing?
Or are all of you accepting that razor floaties cost $1 million/ft?
I didn't make either of those claims.
But if it amuses you keep on making up funny **** to avoid the issue.
Lulz, you are good at the funnies.
Abbott has campaigned on the border for three elections. And here you are blaming Biden.
Lemme try again.
You can't blame Biden for thwarting everything Abbott attempts at the border.
Because Abbott is in his third term and Biden in his first.
Factual enough for you?
Are states or the federal government responsible for border security under the Constitution? ,
Art I sec 8. Feds
So even though it's the responsibility of the Feds, the Feds shouldn't be blamed for abdicating their responsibility?
When have I ever absolved the federal govt of responsibility? Quote me.
"You can't blame Biden for thwarting everything Abbott attempts at the border."
But if this is a federal responsibility, do you know if there is any sort of time frame for the Feds to start doing their job?
You can't be serious.
Apparently not. Which is surprising.
You, not at all.
Just admit you don't care about the border, it's Politics 24/7 for you, morality be damned.
You attacking my standards, laf.
I've posted a ton on the border and immigration reform. Biden is wrong. Abbott is wrong. You're wrong.
Our current policies are immoral in that they deny people their rights, but beyond that they are economically unsound.
I've posted data that show we're all a tad better off with immigrant labor. Reagan understood how turning a blind eye for a few months got Atlanta ready for the Olympics and it probably influenced his amnesty deal.
Reminder: Abbott is in his third term. He has run all three of his campaigns on border security.
Now, tell me specifically what he has done and how, specifically, Senator Biden, Vice President Biden, and President Biden has thwarted each of those efforts.
You won't, but perhaps someone else will.
Of course you don't remember that, because it doesn't fit your imagination.
Abbot has sent money in to repair border security destroyed by Biden's orders.
But you of course lie through your ass in print pretending the two men are morally equal.
I have a lot of criticism for Abbott on a lot of issues, but I won't lie about him. You, obviously, have no trouble lying when it suits your politics.
Amusing that you think we are 'better off with immigrant labor'. First, those studies pretend illegals are the same as legal immigrants. Second, they ignore the impact of gang and cartel activity, just as you do.
Your first post admitting Biden's border policies are bad for everyone, including the illegals who are damning themselves to permanent poverty and underclass worker status, will never come, because it would mean admitting you have cheered for obscene abuse of our sovereignty and ideals.
At best you are an idiot, oblivious to the harm done. More likely you pretend it's OK since you can lie to yourself and pretend your support for mass invasion by illegals is not part of the problem.
Eight paragraphs of big mad and that's all you've got?
Abbott is in his third term of burning through billions for border security and all you have is this year's razor floaties repair.
