Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been a vocal critic of the Biden regime’s immigration policy–or lack thereof–and its handling of the current migrant crisis at the southern border.
As the governor of a border state, he had much to say about where this current emergency is headed, and it doesn’t look good.
During an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Abbott predicted the number of people crossing the border “will grow tenfold and a hundredfold,” as reported by redstate.com.
The governor indicated that Texas has been prevented from gaining access to data regarding the health of people who have entered the country. The state has also been unable to obtain information regarding how to help them apprehend and prosecute smugglers.
The Governor said:
This is just the very beginning of what’s going to be a massive expansion of the number of people coming across the border. It will grow tenfold and a hundredfold, especially because of the way the Biden administration has handled this.
Remember, during the presidential campaign when all of the candidates said we want open borders? Well, guess what? Biden has provided those open borders. He’s inviting everybody in and the floodgates are now open and Texas is at the forefront of it.
The governor continued, criticizing the Biden regime for withholding important information regarding the situation at the border. He explained:
The Biden administration is not being transparent with either the governor of Texas or the Texas Department of State Health Services. We need to know what the health situation of these kids are. We need to know if they’ve been exposed to variants of COVID, and if so, is it the Brazilian variant or whatever type of variants.
Our law enforcement, the Texas Department of Public Safety, they need to do their job. Part of their job is making sure they track down and prosecute anybody involved in smuggling.
Once the kids get over to the state of Texas, they are still involved with coyotes and smugglers and people like that that we do have the ability to arrest and put behind bars. The Biden administration is not letting us gain access to that information so that we can arrest and prosecute those who are assisting this immigration process.
Biden’s policies have not only attracted more migrants to attempt crossing the border, but they have also strengthened drug cartels working to smuggle people and drugs into the country. (See: ‘Empowering the Drug Cartels:’ Gov. Greg Abbott Obliterates Biden’s Inept Response to Migrant Crisis).
Governor Abbott is correct in everything he is saying: “The Border Patrol officers told me that the Biden administration policies, they are enriching and they are empowering the drug cartels in Mexico, who make money off of the people that they assist in smuggling them into the state of Texas.”
Noteworthy is the fact that the current regime has been receiving criticism even from the left for this mishandling of the crisis. Not only does this regime repeatedly lie about the worsening situation along the border, claiming it’s not a crisis, but it has used some of the same measures implemented by the Trump administration which democrats had previously criticized as being “xenophobic.”
This current regime seems not to have any intention of putting this mess in order. Hard to believe, but chaos seems to be what they want, and this is what we are witnessing. This migrant crisis will only become worse and quickly grow into a very dire situation. This already is no longer an illegal immigration issue. This is an invasion of our southern states. An invasion which will eventually metastasize throughout our entire country. At which point must the U.S. military become involved? And will this mean Martial Law?
