Texas AG accuses Biden admin of aiding drug cartels

Texas Attorney General Accuses Biden Administration of ‍Assisting Cartels in Southern Border Crisis

In a fiery ⁣statement, Texas Attorney⁣ General Ken Paxton slammed the Biden ⁣administration for its handling of the southern border crisis, accusing them of ⁢aiding and‌ abetting cartels in smuggling people across the border. Paxton’s remarks⁣ came in response to the Department of Justice (DOJ) threatening to sue Texas over a new law that allows the state to arrest illegal migrants and gives local ​judges more authority to order​ them to leave.

Paxton expressed his frustration⁤ during an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning ⁤Futures,” ‌ stating, “It’s pretty crazy to​ see what’s happened over the last three years of the​ Biden administration.⁣ Those numbers, as you have seen, get worse, not better.” He criticized the administration for not effectively addressing the problem​ and instead exacerbating it⁤ by enabling cartels to profit from human trafficking.

The DOJ recently sent a letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, threatening ⁤to sue the state ⁤for ‍interfering with federal immigration‍ law. In response, Abbott’s office​ declared its readiness to take the legal battle to the U.S. Supreme Court if ‌necessary.

Paxton argued that the​ U.S. immigration ⁤courts are overwhelmed⁣ and unable to handle the influx of asylum seekers, allowing many to “disappear” before their court dates. He emphasized that​ the border crisis not only poses a significant financial burden, ​costing ⁢billions of dollars, but also fuels crime,⁣ particularly human and drug trafficking.

Furthermore, Paxton criticized the federal government’s attempt to remove razor wire installed by Texas ⁤officials along the Rio Grande River to deter illegal immigration. This move has resulted in a legal challenge that is currently making its way through the court system.

“We merely want to⁤ protect our own citizens from the crime and ​the cost of illegal ⁤immigration, when it’s really their job to do it,” Paxton asserted.‍ “And, instead, we’ve got the Biden administration, as I said, aiding‌ and abetting the ​cartels, encouraging the cartels to make billions⁤ of ⁣dollars and to bring as many people​ here as ​possible — as fast as possible and as soon​ as possible.”

In response to​ the threat of legal action from the ⁢DOJ, how ⁣did Paxton vow to defend Texas and its citizens

Them the ability to sue anyone who assists them.⁣

Paxton argued that the Biden ‌administration’s lax immigration policies have created a humanitarian crisis at the border. He claimed that the administration’s‍ decision ​to reverse several⁣ Trump-era immigration policies‍ and halt construction of the border wall have incentivized illegal ‌immigration and empowered cartels.‍ According⁢ to Paxton, the cartels are taking ​advantage of the situation by smuggling people across the border and making large sums of money in the process.

The Texas attorney general also accused the Biden administration of intentionally hampering the efforts of border patrol agents. He claimed that the administration’s push for “catch and release” ⁤policies, which allow illegal immigrants to be released into the interior of the ⁤country while awaiting their court hearings, has ⁤tied the hands of border patrol agents and made it easier for cartels to​ continue their illegal activities.

Paxton pointed to recent incidents at the‍ border to support his claims. ​He highlighted the case of a Texas rancher who discovered a group of‌ illegal immigrants on his⁢ property and was subsequently ambushed and ⁢shot by members of a drug cartel. Paxton argued that this incident is just one example of the‍ dangers that Texans face as a result of the ⁣Biden administration’s failure to secure the border.

In response to the DOJ’s threat of legal action‌ against Texas, Paxton vowed to fight back. He stated that the state has a ‌duty to protect its citizens and that it will not back down in the face of intimidation from the federal government.

Paxton’s accusations against the Biden administration have drawn ‍both support and criticism. Supporters argue that the administration’s policies have indeed contributed to the border crisis and that the federal government should ⁢take responsibility for its failures. Critics, on the other hand, accuse Paxton of politicizing the issue and argue that the‌ blame lies with previous administrations ⁣as ​well.

Regardless of the criticisms, the⁢ fact ‌remains that the situation at⁤ the southern⁤ border is a​ pressing ​issue ‍that requires immediate attention. ​The number of illegal border crossings has surged in recent months, overwhelming border patrol agents and leading⁢ to overcrowded detention facilities.

It is clear that a comprehensive and effective immigration policy is needed to address the crisis. This policy ​should prioritize border security while also providing a fair and efficient process for asylum seekers. Additionally, ⁣it should address the⁣ root⁤ causes of migration from⁣ Central America and work ‌with international‌ partners‌ to find solutions.

The⁣ Biden administration must acknowledge the severity ⁤of the situation and take immediate action to⁢ address it. This⁢ includes providing necessary resources to border patrol agents, implementing a consistent and streamlined immigration process, and working‌ with Congress ⁢to pass meaningful immigration reform.

While the accusations made‍ by Texas ⁤Attorney General Ken Paxton may be ​controversial, they shine a light on the urgent need for action. The border crisis has⁤ wide-ranging implications for national security, public safety, and humanitarian ‍concerns. It is ‌crucial that ​the Biden administration takes swift and decisive action to regain control of the situation and ensure⁢ the safety and well-being⁣ of all⁤ Americans.
