Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has branded U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) Alejandro Mayorkas “pathetic” after the latter blamed the ongoing immigration crisis at the southern border and across the world on climate change, among other things.

Mr. Abbott took to X, formerly Twitter, on Jan. 3, where he fired off the scathing criticism.
