Eagle Pass mayor says showdown between Texas, feds over border control is ‘frustrating,’ a ‘constant struggle’

Eagle Pass Mayor Ronaldo Salinas says he is "tired of the games that both parties are playing" over the immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Texas Military Department seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass earlier this month, saying the move was necessary to prevent further illegal immigration into the area. The Department of Homeland Security has since repeatedly sought access to Shelby Park and has argued that Texas has been blocking the Border Patrol from operating there. 

"It’s quite honestly frustrating that showdown between the feds and the state, so we are just going to focus on our city, on our people, on our economy, because I’m tired of the games that both parties are playing. I’m quite frankly so frustrated. And it needs to end," Salinas said Tuesday. "Nobody wants to come together. Long gone are the days of the reasonable politician, that is what I think."
