Joe Biden’s administration is a dumpster fire. But people were still shocked by this recent move.
And a Republican leader demolishes Biden with the stroke of a pen.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced that he will sign a new law authorizing every police officer in the state to arrest illegal immigrants.
The law, which is expected to be signed in two weeks, comes as Texas continues to grapple with a surge of illegal crossings under President Joe Biden’s open border policies.
“Texas is having to step up and do even more to make sure that we deny illegal entry into the state of Texas and as a result… in two weeks I’ll be singing [the] new law,” Abbott said during an interview with Fox News.
The law, known as SB4, would make it a state misdemeanor to cross the Texas-Mexico border illegally. It would also allow a judge to order immigrants to return to Mexico.
Abbott said the new law is necessary to address the “extraordinarily bad” situation at the border.
He cited numbers from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and Yale University that showed between 16.8 million and 29 million illegal migrants currently living in the U.S. He also noted that about 3.8 million migrants have entered the country under President Biden’s watch.
“The problem is extraordinarily bad,” Abbott said. “The numbers are high, and that is because Joe Biden continues to lay out the welcome mat welcoming illegal immigrants into the United States of America.”
Abbott’s comments come as border sources told Fox News that authorities have encountered nearly 475,000 migrants with just over an additional 60,000 getaways in the fiscal year— some of whom have been reportedly said to be on the FBI terror watch list.
“That’s why Texas is having 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,” Abbott said. “And that’s exactly why Texas is taking extraordinary steps to try to crack down on it.”
Abbott has taken a number of steps to address the border crisis in recent months.
In addition to sending buses of migrants to Democrat-run cities, he has also deployed deterrence buoys in the Rio Grande River and sued the Biden administration over its border policies.
The new law authorizing all police officers in Texas to arrest illegal immigrants is just the latest step in Abbott’s efforts to secure the border.
He is expected to sign the law into effect in two weeks.
Governor Abbott has taken steps that Democrats refuse to, even though they realize that Joe Biden is crippling the United States with his open border policies.
The cost of the immigration crisis is affecting not just Texas and other border states, but it is crippling the lives of countless Americans.
Joe Biden needs to be held accountable for his horrible actions as President, and there need to be immediate consequences.
Governor Abbott is wise to take matters into his own hands in his state, and more leaders need to do the same across the country.
This issue needs to be resolved immediately.
