Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott accused the Biden administration of cutting razor wire that the Lone Star State put in place in Eagle Pass in an effort to stop illegal crossings.
On Wednesday, Abbott (R-Texas) posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, and attributed the surge in crossings to the Biden administration for “opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.”
This comes as the Democrat mayor of Eagle Pass, Mayor Rolando Salinas (D-Texas), issued a local disaster declaration on Wednesday to provide additional resources to help deal with the crisis.
“There has been a situation the last couple of days where we have gotten an influx of immigrants crossing through Eagle Pass. And it has taken a toll on our local resources,” Salinas said.
Salinas added that he has not heard back from the Biden administration on getting the additional resources needed to address the crisis.

What evidence does Governor Abbott provide to support his claim that the Biden administration cut the razor wire in Eagle Pass?
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has accused the Biden administration of cutting razor wire that was put in place by the Lone Star State to prevent illegal crossings in Eagle Pass. Governor Abbott took to X, previously known as Twitter, to blame the surge in crossings on the Biden administration for “opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.”
In a tweet on September 20, 2023, Governor Abbott shared a video showing the razor wire being cut and stated, “Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings. Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants. I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire.”
The situation in Eagle Pass prompted the Democrat mayor, Mayor Rolando Salinas, to issue a local disaster declaration on Wednesday. This declaration was made to provide additional resources to help deal with the crisis caused by the influx of immigrants crossing through Eagle Pass.
Mayor Salinas expressed the strain on local resources, stating, “There has been a situation in the last couple of days where we have seen an influx of immigrants crossing through Eagle Pass. And it has taken a toll on our local resources.”
The accusations made by Governor Abbott highlight the ongoing challenges faced by states along the southern border in dealing with illegal immigration. The issue remains a contentious topic in American politics, with differing opinions on how to address it effectively.
As the debate continues, it is crucial to find a balance between border security and humanitarian concerns. The Biden administration faces the challenge of managing the flow of immigrants while ensuring the safety and well-being of both migrants and the communities they enter.
Efforts to address the root causes of migration, such as poverty, violence, and political instability in countries of origin, are equally important in finding long-term solutions. Diplomatic and cooperative approaches, both domestically and internationally, are necessary to tackle this complex issue effectively.
The situation in Eagle Pass serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for comprehensive immigration reform. In the absence of a comprehensive solution, states like Texas will continue to grapple with the consequences of the broken immigration system.
Ultimately, finding common ground and implementing policies that prioritize both border security and humanitarian considerations will be crucial in addressing the challenges faced at the border and ensuring a more efficient and just immigration system for all.
