Earlier, Trump served meals to members of the Texas National Guard, state troopers and others who will spend Thanksgiving guarding the border, according to ABC.
“What you do is incredible, and you want it to be done right,” Trump said to the Guard members.
Abbott said Texas Guard members and troopers “should not be here at this time. They should be at home.”
He said that ”the only reason why they are here is because we have a president of the United States of America who is not securing our border.”
