Texas Gov. Abbott defends decision to build floating border wall amid immigration crisis

The Department of Justice announced a lawsuit against Texas after the state refused to remove the floating border wall

Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott delivered an address to the state's Republican County chairs on Friday and addressed the recent move to install floating barriers along the Rio Grande as part of an effort to reduce illegal immigration.
During his speech in Georgetown, Texas, Abbott spoke about his administration's response to the influx of migrants entering the state illegally through the U.S.-Mexico border, according to Fox 7.
"I will do whatever I have to do to defend our state from the invasion of the Mexican drug cartels and others who have tried to come into our country illegally, and I will protect our sovereignty," Abbott said
