Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that President Joe Biden and his administration were "ill-prepared" to handle the influx of unaccompanied immigrant minors at the border.
Biden had a message for migrants on Tuesday: "Don't come over."
"Don't leave your town or city or community," he added, addressing the migrants and unaccompanied minors that have been coming to the country's southern border.
