Greg Abbott from doing something about it.<\/p><p class=\"\">Right before the weekend, Abbott used the Texas National Guard to seize control of a public park, which has been known to be a \u201cweak point\u201d in which migrants have crossed over into the border. But the Biden administration was quick to criticize the move, noting that Customs and Border Protection was unable to enter the area.<\/p><p class=\"\">In a statement, the White House said, \u201cWhether it is leaving migrants on the side of the road in the dead of winter, installing razor wire to make Border Patrol\u2019s job more dangerous, promoting extreme and unconstitutional laws like S.B. 4, or his latest actions in Eagle Pass, Governor Abbott has repeatedly proven that he is not interested in solutions and only seeks to politicize the border.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"\">But this marks the first statement in some time that has revolved around the White House, nor any concern for what\u2019s happening with the Border Patrol. Abbott has apparently been forced to take matters into his own hands, and the administration doesn\u2019t seem too fond about it.<\/p><p class=\"\">Joining us now to discuss the matter further is Michael Letts, a law enforcement veteran with over 30 years of experience under his belt. Letts is President, Founder and CEO of InVest USA, an organization that provides bulletproof vests to police officers through various sponsorships and charitable groups. His expertise in all things law and order make him a helpful expert on this subject. Welcome, Mr. Letts.<\/p><p class=\"\"><strong>Q&amp;A:<\/strong><\/p><ol class=\"\"><li class=\"\">Do you think Abbott went too far seizing control of a public park and calling in the National Guard, rather than letting his own Border Patrol agents handle the matter? Has the migrant crisis really gotten that far out of hand?<\/li><li class=\"\">Why is the Biden administration quick to criticize Abbott\u2019s moves, yet doing very little in terms of producing their own to handle the matter?<\/li><li class=\"\">Do you believe things will get worse in Texas?
