Abbott says Biden admin needs to 'up their game, big time' as Texas grapples with migrant surge
Fox News
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday called on the Biden administration to "up their game, big time" as Texas struggles to cope with a historic migrant crisis – including a recent surge of Haitian migrants in Del Rio.
Abbott was speaking to reporters about the measures Texas is taking to push back against the wave of illegal immigration surging through the U.S. border. There have been more than 200,000 migrant encounters in both July and August as part of a continuing migrant wave.
The Biden administration has blamed "root causes" like poverty and violence in Central America, as well as the Trump administration for shutting down legal asylum pathways. Republicans have blamed the administration for rolling back Trump-era policies like the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) and for reinstating "catch-and-release."
