The governor of Texas on Aug. 1 invited the mayors of Washington and New York City to tour the U.S.–Mexico border with him.
“As Governor, I invite you to visit our border region to see firsthand the dire situation that only grows more urgent with each passing day, and to meet with the local officials, who like yourselves, realize this matter deserves immediate federal action,” Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, wrote to Mayors Muriel Bowser and Eric Adams, both Democrats.
