Press Releases
Greg Abbott has slammed Joe Biden’s “open border policies”, labelling them an “existential threat” after the southern border witnessed an influx of illegal Chinese migrants.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year, more than 24,000 Chinese nationals have crossed the southern border and come into the United States.
That is more than the previous 10 years combined, according to government data.
Over the past decade, fewer than 15,000 Chinese migrants were caught crossing the southern border illegally.
Abbott told Fox News: “It is extraordinarily dangerous because, first of all, as you point out, we have people from China coming here. We also have people on the known terrorist watch list who are coming across the border. And so there’s extraordinary dangers, calls to our country by Biden’s open border policies.”
The Texas Governor also slammed Biden
for his lack of action surrounding the situation.
He said: “Biden is doing nothing about it. And that’s why Texas has to step up and apprehend as many of these people as possible to make sure that they’re not posing a threat to our country.
“But this is a very serious existential threat to our country caused by Joe Biden. And that’s exactly why Texas is taking extraordinary steps to try to crack down on it.”
US MIGRANT CRISIS LATEST:
“The situation is far past a breaking point and those on the frontlines of this crisis are in need of immediate support,” Ciscomani wrote in his letter demanding help.
“Tucson Sector is leading in encounters and our agents and officers are overrun and undermanned.”
He sent his plea to Director of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
Biden’s administration previously deployed troops to the border earlier this year in anticipation of a surge in migrant crossings.
Illegal border crossings have surged in the US in recent years.
The 2022 fiscal year set a record high of 2.2 million illegal border crossings.
