So what would Tucker have Abbott do that he’s not already doing?

Build a wall, put the National guard on the border, like Abbott said he would.

How about taking Kari Lake's approach:

“And so we’re going to invoke our Article 1, Section 10, basically, authority to take care of our own border and protect our own border. It’s right there in black and white in the Constitution. And we meet all three criteria. We have an invasion, our people are in imminent danger, and time is of the essence,” she said. “There’s no time for delay.”

Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution places limits on the authority of the individual states, reserving certain privileges for the federal government. For example, states cannot enter treaties with foreign nations or print their own money.

The third sentence of the section reads, “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”

How about the Texas National Guard on the border stopping the mass crossings? Yeh.

Listen to Lake — declare an invasion and invoke war powers the states still have. Put guard on border. And SHOOT!

Mexico have a problem with that? Then Mexico must stop non-Mexicans from traveling thru Mexico for asylum in the US — in conflict with international law. Mexico still have a problem? Then assemble Mexican army on the border.
Wonder how the cartels would deal with two armies on a border?
