I was without power for four days during the storm. Thankfully my mom still had power so my daughter stayed with her while my wife and I braved it out because we have pets. It was pretty bad, my Berta almost died due to the temperatures inside my apartment at the time falling to ~55 degrees

• President Joe Biden met with Gov. Greg Abbott during a visit to the US-Mexico border Sunday.
• Abbott renewed his calls for the federal government to send funds to Texas to address the border.
• Since April, Texas has spent millions of dollars busing migrants to places like DC and Chicago.

Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas said Sunday during President Joe Biden's visit to the border that the state "desperately needs more money" to address the issue.

After meeting with Biden, Abbott took questions from reporters, with one asking if he planned to ask the federal government to send Texas additional funds to help address the historic surge in illegal immigration.

"One hundred percent. Texas desperately needs more money," Abbott said. "I know the Republicans in the US House have committed to providing Texas the money that we need. We just finished over the past two years spending 4 billion of Texas taxpayer dollars for Texas to fill the gap caused by the Biden administration."



Abbott has previously called on the federal government to reimburse the state for its border efforts and to send additional resources including the National Guard. From October 2020 to October 2021, the US Border Patrol encountered 1.7 million migrants attempting to cross the US-Mexico border illegally, the highest number in more than 70 years.

In April, Abbott began chartering buses to drop off migrants in other parts of the country, like Washington, DC, and Chicago, without giving those cities any notice — a program that Texas has spent millions of dollars on.

Texas had spent $12 million on the efforts as of August, the Texas Tribune reported at the time. By November, the amount spent busing migrants out of state had risen to $20 million, according to the local outlet WFAA.

Abbott's office did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's short-lived policy of requiring state troopers to conduct secondary inspections of trucks crossing into Texas from Mexico cost the United States almost $9 billion in just 10 days, Axios reported Tuesday.

The policy, which Abbott enacted on April 6, snarled truck traffic at the border and led to a protest by Mexican truckers that stopped trade at some major crossings. On April 15, Abbott ended the double inspections, for which he'd received withering criticism from both sides of the border and the aisle, after striking deals with the governors of the four Mexican states that border Texas.

america isnt responsible for every fukkin thing wrong with mexico and south america and no one's saying don't let in any migrants

but the ideas that we aren't allowed to turn anyone away, or that texas has obligations that blue cities don't...it's embarrassing i never, ever hear the left explaining where these people are supposed to go once they get in. or who's paying for it. up until Adams started begging the feds for money
