“The burden that our State has borne is a direct result of a refusal by the federal government to do its job,” Abbott wrote in a letter to Congressional leadership last month. “The work that Texas has done through Operation Lone Star has protected and will continue to benefit the entire country.” Trump gave Abbott a special shout out for Texas’ border efforts during his inauguration. Trump spoke at length from the lectern directly to Abbott, who was in the audience for an informal Inauguration Day address. Trump said Abbott was “a very popular governor and now he's an unbeatable governor” because of his border policies and called Abbott a “leader of the pack.”
