The White House will go to any means necessary to avoid accountability.
As the country nears the two-year mark of Joe Biden’s immigration crisis new reports reveal the administration pressured border-town officials to downplay the emergency.
Democrat Mayor Oscar Leeser allegedly told El Paso City Council member Claudia Rodriguez in a private conversation that the White House has urged him not to declare a state of emergency.
“He told me the White House asked him not to,” Councilmember Claudia Rodriguez told the New York Post.
Public pressure has been building for weeks for Mayor Leeser to follow in other cities’ footsteps and declare a state of emergency over the massive influx of migrants. Mayor Leeser has also reportedly been urged by at least three of the eight council members to make the declaration.
Rep. Tony Gonzales, whose district covers rural areas and border towns near El Paso, said the accusation sounds credible and has heard similar accounts himself.
“It is a sleight of hand what the administration is doing — pressuring the local government to not issue a declaration of emergency, to say as if everything is going OK,” he said.
Gonzales also alleged that the White House has done “the same thing in other parts of my district,” which have also seen huge numbers of migrants seeking refuge.
At a Sept. 27 City Council meeting, Mayor Leeser also addressed the issue, saying Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) had urged him not to declare a State of Emergency, adding: “The White House has asked, at this point, for us not to do that and they’ll continue to work with us and continue to give us … money through [the] Federal Emergency Management Agency.”
Between April and mid-September more than 62,000 migrants had crossed the border at El Paso alone, according to data from the Post. Last month, Lesser admitted El Passo has transported more than 10,000 migrants to New York City.
The Biden administration’s effort to downplay and distract from the ongoing migrant crisis come as police and border resources continue to dwindle and dangerous criminals and drugs pour into the country.

The mayor of El Paso needs to grow a set. Next time tell Captain Dementia to Go F–k Himself.
Biden, Majorakas, KJP, have all contributed in the decline AND destruction of America. By bribing it’s own political party members it only makes it worse. They are nothing but whores and slaves to their boses, and disregard the American voter and taxpayer. All roads lead to hell, dems.
So what was Biden up to in Ukraine back when he was VP and Obama gave him some money to take to their government? Same thing, extorting the government of Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who might have indicted Hunter for his part in an energy company in Ukraine. Fast forward to now, using the influence of his office to keep the lid on the truth of the border crisis in Texas. What’s changed? Time to take out the trash for good, this time.
DO IT anyway screw DC
