On Thursday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott took emergency action against illegal immigration as the state of Texas continues to be overran by “caravans” of illegal immigrants.


Abbott revealed that he had shut down six ports of entry between Mexico and the United States.

“The sheer negligence of the Biden Administration to do their job and secure the border is appalling. I have directed the Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to surge personnel and vehicles to shut down six points of entry along the southern border to stop these caravans from overrunning our state,” Abbott said in a statement Thursday.


“The border crisis is so dire that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection is requesting our help as their agents are overwhelmed by the chaos. Unlike President Biden, the State of Texas remains committed to securing our border and protecting Americans,” Abbott continued.

Abbott explained that the Biden administration asked Texas at first to help in closing the border as illegal immigrants stormed through but reversed their request hours later.


“Six hours after U.S. Customs and Border Protection requested help from Texas to close ports of entry and secure the border, the Biden Administration has now flip-flopped to a different strategy that abandons border security and instead makes it easier for people to cross illegally and for cartels to exploit the border,” Abbott said in separate statement Thursday. “The Biden Administration is in complete disarray and is handling the border crisis as badly as the evacuation from Afghanistan. I have directed the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to maintain their presence at and around ports of entry to deter crossings.”

The Daily Wire reported:

Illegal immigration has surged since Biden won the election last year in November. Last month, the number of illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. numbered over 200,000, the second consecutive month to hit over that benchmark. The roughly 208,000 illegal immigrants that crossed into the United States in August is an over 300% increase in illegal immigration over August 2020.

The Biden administration has struggled to come up with an answer to the ongoing border crisis, which has taken a back seat in recent weeks to the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

The Supreme Court ordered the Biden administration to reinstate former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy that Biden had attempted to scrap during his first days in office.

The “Remain in Mexico” policy forced migrants seeking asylum in the United States to wait south of the border until their case could be heard by an immigration court. The Biden administration has, instead, reversed to a more lenient policy, allowing migrants seeking asylum to stay in the United States once given a court date, creating the risk that migrants may never return to immigration court or a processing facility.
