Now, breaking earlier tonight, the Department of Justice is now
actually suing the state of Texas as the Biden administration
is trying to stop what is a brand new Texas
law
that would allow police to arrest illegal immigrants after they
crossed the border illegally.
In other words, to do Joe Biden's job.
Now, this lawsuit is no surprise.
The Biden administration has pretty much done everything they can
do to stop Texas from taking any action to secure
their border.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas even tried to blame the
entire crisis
on Texas Governor Greg Abbott this morning.
Take a look. Let me identify one fundamental problem here,
and that is the fact that we have one governor
in the state of Texas who is refusing to cooperate
with other other governors and other local officials and coordinate
efforts to address a challenge that our country,
which this country should stand united to address,
that our country is facing.
And it's a remarkable failure of governance to refuse to
cooperate with one's fellow local and state officials.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is with us now.
This is the same same secretary governor that was saying
the border is closed,
the border is secure. There's no illegal immigration taking place.
Don't believe your own eyes.
He blamed climate change, Donald Trump and you today for
his failure.
What's your reaction?
And the only climate that's changed,
Sean, is the the refusal to enforce the immigration laws
of the United States.
You saw what happened four years ago when we had
the lowest illegal immigration in 40 years,
and that's because President Trump put into place for policies
the remaining Mexico policy, the Title 42 policy,
the end of catch and release and building the border
wall.
When Biden came in, he changed all of that and
he created a climate,
quite literally, that attracted people from across the entire world,
from more than 150 countries.
Texas is the only government in the United States of
America that's stepping up trying to stop illegal immigration by
building our own border wall,
by putting up the razor wire.
And by the way, Joe Biden is also challenging me
in the United States Supreme Court right now,
Sean trying to tear down the razor wire that Texas
put up to stop illegal immigration.
Joe Biden has spent no time
trying to stop illegal immigration.
He's only spent time trying to stop Texas from stopping
illegal immigration.
And it's amazing neither he nor Kamala Harris or,
you know, for example, these mayors that are all complaining
about just a tiny percentage of illegal immigrants when you're
dealing with the,
the pretty much the entire problem,
they won't do their job.
You're trying to do their job for you and now
they want to stop you from doing their job.
If I picked up people at the border and I
took them to another state,
would I be arrested and convicted?
Well, you got to do it in a way so
that it does not turn into kidnapping.
And Texas is doing it in a very legal way.
When we send people to New York,
to Washington, DC, to Chicago,
to LA, to Denver, to wherever they're going to,
it's done by the letter of the law to make
sure that nothing is wrong.
However, what we have found is the hypocrisy of the
mayor of New York,
of the mayor of Chicago,
of the mayor of Denver and of California,
things like that, where they say,
oh, we want to be a sanctuary city
to provide all these free benefits to migrants,
but then they start complaining when Texas starts,
starts dropping them off into their states or into their
communities.
This, and this is a
responsibility caused by the Joe Biden administration and these Democrat
mayors.
They need to wake up to the reality that their
communities are going to continue to face challenges,
including more buses and planes,
unless and until Joe Biden starts enforcing the immigration laws
of the United States.
Governor, I give you a lot of credit.
You have you have tried to protect the people in
your state.
You're doing everything imaginable. The people of Texas have had
to bear the cost of this.
You've shown great leadership. I hope you win in every
one of these cases.
And we do appreciate your time as always.
Thank you, Governor.
