Texas Gov. Abbott Says South Africa Travel Ban ‘Hypocritical’ as Illegal Immigrants Continue to Stream Across Southern Border

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott blasted President Joe Biden’s ban on travel from South Africa as “hypocritical,” arguing his open border policies have “opened the floodgates” to illegal immigrants.

“Over 50 illegal immigrants from South Africa and other South African countries under the Biden travel ban have been apprehended by CBP this year, with 18 being apprehended this month alone,” Abbott tweeted on Monday.

“Biden’s open border policies must end,” he added.
