A Cold Border War Breaks Out Between Abbottâs Texas and Bidenâs White House
Listen to podcast: Texas DPS Defends the Border; CBP Helps Migrants Enter
A new Center for Immigration Studies video report highlights Texas Governor Abbottâs âOperation Hold the Lineâ, which has state police and National Guard block immigrants at the Rio Grande Riverâs edge, and President Bidenâs undermining of the stateâs efforts to enforce the laws.
Todd Bensman, the Center for Immigration Studiesâ senior national security fellow, captures the border war, showing many of the initiatives undertaken by the state in and around Eagle Pass, Texas, a hot spot for illegal immigrant crossings. Bensman speaks with several illegal immigrants who successfully entered the country and with others who were discouraged and returned to Mexico. They told Bensman of their plans to go around the Texas border blockade and to search for U.S. Border Patrol officers, who the migrants feel are certain to admit them into the U.S.
Bensman explains, âNone of these immigrants are really giving up, because they all know full well thereâs an antidote, a solution, to this Texas halt-and-block operation â it is President Joe Bidenâs Border Patrol. The immigrants know that if they can bust the Texas blockade and link up with Bidenâs Border Patrol agents, they will be escorted in right past Texasâs fortifications.â
