44% : 'But the last thing I will tell you is what the president said, going after the Border Patrol, who were risking their lives and working so hard to try to secure the border, if he takes any action against them whatsoever, I have worked side-by-side with those Border Patrol agents,' Abbott continued.
40% : Even though Mayorkas and the administration insist the border is 'closed,' migrants can cross the border and claim asylum, which kicks off a process that can allow them to remain in the U.S. while their case is being considered.
