Texas Gov. Greg Abbott hit back at Joe Biden's allegation that he was using illegal aliens as pawns and said that in reality, it's the president himself who's doing that, and in the process, he's "destroying the country that he’s in charge of.”

Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Abbott didn't hold back:

So the person who’s actually using illegal immigrants as political pawns is Joe Biden.

Joe Biden has created this open border policy that has allowed illegal immigrants into our country to appeal to and to appease the far leftists in the Democrat Party, the people like [Rep. Alexandra] Ocasio-Cortez [D-N.Y.], in hopes of trying to win their support while at the same time destroying the country that he’s in charge of.

Watch:

He certainly wasn't done, though, and slammed the president for endangering our nation's safety.

He is the commander in chief, in charge of national security for our country. Our country is being invaded in ways that put our country at risk because of the political games that Joe Biden has played. 

He's also been blasting the president on social media:

Pres. Biden’s open border policies enable cartels to run human smuggling operations into the U.S.

I signed a law last year to crack down on human smuggling with a 10-year mandatory minimum jail sentence.

We continue to raise awareness and fight back against this heinous crime.

He had special words for New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday. The two have frequently sparred over Abbott's practice of sending illegals from the Texas border to places like the Big Apple, where the leaders claim they welcome them.

And Mayor Adams is just aiding and abetting that by having a sanctuary city status welcoming anybody from across the world to live there or stay there in New York City, on the bill of New York City. 

He told Adams to take care of his own (dangerous) house, before telling others to fix theirs: 

And what Mayor Adams needs to do, he needs to stop talking boldly about illegal immigration and the migrants that Texas is sending there, and he needs to step up and do his own job because look at the dangers in New York City, under his watch. You have a police officer who is killed. You have the train system in New York, which is treacherous for travelers. You got police officers attacked in Times Square by illegal immigrants. 

He needs to step up and do his job as mayor and protect the people of his community—as opposed to gimmicks about what's going on at the border.

Abbott is absolutely right—Biden's purposeful opening of the floodgates has put our nation at tremendous risk. There are tens of thousands of military-aged Chinese males pouring across, as well as dangerous people on the terror watch list. Meanwhile, to hear White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden, and governors like Eric Adams piously claim that it's Abbott's fault when A) he is not in charge of the border, the president is, and B) the administration has kneecapped him in his every attempt to stem the flow, is simply mind-boggling.

There is only one solution to the disaster at the border, and that's to send the guy in the Oval Office shuffling back to Delaware come November.
