Texas Governor Greg Abbott has penned a letter to President Biden requesting federal assistance on America’s southern border ahead of inclement weather projections that the Abbott administration believes could lead to a drastic loss of life.
Per a media release sent by Governor Abbott’s office earlier this week:
“Governor Greg Abbott today demanded President Joe Biden immediately deploy federal assets to address the dire border crisis, particularly in the City of El Paso, as a dangerously cold polar vortex moves into Texas this week.
“This terrible crisis for border communities in Texas is a catastrophe of your own making,” reads the letter. “These communities and the state are ill-equipped to do the job assigned to the federal government—house the thousands of migrants flooding into the country every day. With perilous temperatures moving into the area, many of these migrants are at risk of freezing to death on city streets. The need to address this crisis is not the job of border states like Texas. Instead, the U.S. Constitution dictates that it is your job, Mr. President, to defend the borders of our country, regulate our nation’s immigration, and manage those who seek refuge here.”
In the letter to President Biden, the Governor highlights the acute humanitarian crisis caused by federal inaction to secure America’s southern border that is putting the lives of migrants at risk, with thousands of men, women, and children illegally crossing into Texas every day and those numbers expected to increase if Title 42 expulsions end.
Governor Abbott will continue working with the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Division of Emergency Management, and the Texas Military Department, and all other available state assets to protect Texas from the influx of illegal immigrants and cartel activity in the absence of President Biden performing his constitutional duty to secure the southern border.”
The letter is the latest call for help from Governor Abbott amid President Biden’s refusal to offer tangible assistance to stem the flow of illegal immigration throughout his presidency.
All this comes amid the Supreme Court blocking a request by the Biden Administration to end Title 42 this week.
Notably, the Congressional omnibus passed in D.C. this week also explicitly forbade the usage of funds sent to the border being used to create a physical barrier between America and Mexico.
Increasing border security is something that many Republicans see as a key step in stopping the border crisis.
Governor Abbott has also deployed the Texas National Guard this week to assist U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agents by directing migrants to designated points of entry, per The Washington Post.
