Watch: Gov Abbott Hit Monumental Moment In Illegal Relocation Mission
Critics originally called Texas Governor Greg Abbott's threats to bus illegals to Washington D.C a 'publicity stunt' and did not believe he would ever follow through with it. Well, Abbott just to a monumental victory lap around Democrats as his 45th bus full of illegal immigrants departed Texas, headed to D.C.
“We’re up to our 45th bus now; when you add a zero to that I think that Washington D.C. is going to soon find out they’re going to be dealing with the same consequences we’re dealing with,” he warned.
“One thing we know for a fact is that there are maybe as many as 100,000 migrants who are across the border waiting to cross into Texas,” Abbot noted. “The Biden administration seems to be letting in people whether they’re crossing through the port of entry or across the river.”
Abbot pointed out that the drug cartels on the other side of the border wanted illegals to cross the river instead of the ports of entry because that would keep the border patrol preoccupied with them rather than the cartels and their transports.
Then Abbott pointed out that Texas's problem will illegal immigration is really America's problem:
"Right now Texas has the largest number of people crossing the border. One thing we have found with the implementation of Operation Lonestar is it has shifted cartel activity to New Mexico to Arizona, to California. … With every day that Texas has success, it may mean failure for some other state. That means failure for the United States of America."
“Results won’t be attained and achieved until we have a president who is willing to step up and enforce the rule of law,” he declared. “Remember this: It was only a year and a half ago that we had the lowest amount of illegal immigration in decades. And then it only took a year and a half of the current administration to lead to the highest illegal immigration ever.”
Asked if President Biden or his administration had reached out to him, Abbott replied, “President Biden has never once even tried to contact me.”
“The czar for the border, Kamala Harris, has never once tried to contact me,” he added.
“My last contact with [Homeland Security] Secretary Mayorkas was something like in February a year ago,” Abbott said. “They have no interest in talking to Texas or talking to leaders who are actually on the border. Remember Joe Biden himself has never even been to the border.”
“We are dealing with a crisis that is man-made by President Biden, who doesn’t want to take the time to even come to the border or talk to the governor of a border state,” he concluded.
Watch
Biden continues to avoid addressing the border crisis. Where I would love to be able to convey what he thinks about Abbott's relocation program, I don't think he'll ever respond. That would leave him open and vulnerable to pesky questions about his lack of response and the silent war he has waged on legal citizens.
