The Biden administration continues to be wishy-washy about illegal border crossings and is now blaming Texas for their own ineptitude. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has claimed that Texas Governor Greg Abbott is “dangerous and unlawful” for trying to stem the tide of undocumented individuals crossing the border.

Contrary to the nonsense being spouted by the White House, Abbott’s statewide effort of Operation Lone Star is working wonders in dealing with the border crisis. Since the implementation of this program, there has been a noticeable decrease in the number of illegal crossings.

Jean-Pierre has the gall to assert that Governor Abbott’s action is “undermining our border enforcement plan” when it is clear that the Biden administration never had a clear plan in the first place. Blaming others only underscores their lack of leadership and willingness to take responsibility.
Furthermore, the Department of Justice has decided to sue the state of Texas for not removing river barriers in the Rio Grande. Abbott welcomes the lawsuit with open arms, as he knows the Biden administration does not have a leg to stand on when it comes to the rule of law.
What the left-wing media continues to ignore is that Operation Lone Star is having an incredible impact in the ongoing crisis of illegal immigration. The operation has increased patrols along the border to deter would-be crossers, detained smugglers, and rescued migrants from dangerous situations. Operation Lone Star proves that with the right plan and strategic action, illegal immigration can be curtailed.
Texas is stepping up to address this crisis.
We will continue to deploy every strategy to protect Texans and Americans — and the migrants risking their lives.
We will see you in court, Mr. President.

In this uncertain time, what is needed is strong leadership that puts America first. That is precisely what Governor Abbott is doing, and the Biden administration can do little more than snipe from the sidelines instead of tackling the issue head-on. If Biden truly cares about the safety of Americans, then he would do well to embrace the successful measures implemented by Governor Abbott instead of playing the blame game.
