Biden’s Policies and the Border Crisis: Texas Governor Stands Firm in the Face of DOJ Lawsuit

Joe Biden

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did not hold back as he took to Twitter on Sunday to condemn the Biden administration’s border policies, which have led to an escalating crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Abbott’s fiery tweets came in response to the Department of Justice (DOJ) filing a lawsuit against Texas over its efforts to secure the border. The governor’s statements highlighted the devastating impact of the administration’s approach, leaving Texans and Americans concerned for their safety.

Through a series of tweets, Governor Abbott of Texas commended the state’s border security for intercepting more than 422 million deadly doses of fentanyl since 2021, substances that he attributed to President Biden’s inadequate border control. Additionally, he highlighted the significant rise in illegal immigrant apprehensions and criminal arrests within the state, underscoring the Biden administration’s inability to address the unfolding crisis effectively.

Governor Abbott proudly announced that Texas authorities have successfully confiscated a staggering 422 million lethal doses of fentanyl since the year 2021. The governor emphasized the severity of this massive drug seizure, pointing out that it constitutes a quantity sufficient to pose a lethal threat to the entire American population.

Furthermore he went on to highlight the state’s significant accomplishments in apprehending 394,200 illegal immigrants and making 31,300 criminal arrests. Abbott directly attributed these impressive law enforcement feats to what he perceives as President Biden’s failure to effectively carry out his duties.

Abbott further warned that the Biden administration would “face the consequences” should the DOJ continue its lawsuit against Texas. The lawsuit was prompted by the state’s use of a floating buoy border barrier to prevent illegal immigration, which the DOJ deemed to be in violation of the Rivers and Harbors Act.

Operation Lone Star, Texas’ coordinated effort to secure the border and combat transnational crime, has achieved significant results. The state’s authorities reported over 394,200 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 31,300 criminal arrests, with an astonishing 422 million lethal doses of fentanyl seized during border missions, according to reports from Fox News. Abbott underscored that these actions were necessary due to the administration’s refusal to secure the border effectively.

“The Department of Justice made clear that it is prepared to take the governor to court if he doesn’t immediately remove the unlawful structures in the Rio Grande,” the governor’s statement read.

Abbott has consistently maintained that Texas has the constitutional authority to defend its border. He blamed President Biden for the growing crisis and asserted that Texas would continue to employ all available strategies to protect its citizens and address the challenges caused by the influx of migrants.

“The governor’s actions are cruel and putting both migrants and border agents in danger,” the White House responded. However, Abbott remains undeterred, standing firm in his commitment to addressing the border crisis and defending Texans’ safety.

As the legal battle between Texas and the federal government unfolds, the border crisis remains a pressing issue, and Abbott’s tweets reflect a fierce determination to highlight the damaging consequences of Biden’s policies on border security.

With public safety at stake, the situation demands attention and decisive action to address the complex challenges facing the nation’s borders.

Organization Launches Campaign to Spin Immigration Narrative by Suppressing Free Speech

Published

on

Billionaire Lauren Powell Jobs is fighting “immigration misinformation” through her new group Catalyze/Citizens by seeking to suppress mainstream public criticism of Extraction Migration policies. According to Breitbart, Jobs is demanding changes be made to Internet law to allow her to do so, which would require an anti-free speech law from Congress or a major Supreme Court decision.

In a statement released on December 3, Catalyze/Citizens said that Section 230 of the [Internet-related] Communications Decency Act would need to be reformed to allow the group to “counter far-right disinformation campaigns” and “build safer online spaces and AI technology.”

“Through these efforts, C/C aims to champion and elect pro-immigrant leaders, mobilize uncommon allies, and drive narrative interventions that protect immigrant communities and strengthen democratic values,” the statement added.

According to Breitbart:

“The group’s blame-the-narrative campaign echoes the view of many pro-migration groups that Donald Trump won the election by manipulating the voters via distorted media reports. That claim sidelines the evidence that voters recognize the vast economic and civic damage caused by the elite-driven desire for the extraction of many more foreign blue-collar and white-collar workers, renters, and consumers from poor countries.”

Andrea Flores, the chief lobbyist at Mark Zuckberg’s FWD.us pro-migration group, suggested that President Joe Biden take the blame for not spreading a “pro-migration narrative” enough, which allowed the campaign of now President-elect Donald Trump to succeed with their reports on the border crisis and the snowball effect it had on multiple aspects of American life including on businesses, housing, crime and security overall.

Catalyze/Citizens is an extension of Jobs’ Immigration Hub group and is to be headed by Beatriz Lopez who backed the mission to “tackle the source of disinformation by championing policies and solutions that ensure social media responsibility and online and AI safety.”

Each proponent cited discussing the mission of Catalyze/Citizens appears to consistently reference the need to address “dangerous online disinformation.” It is noteworthy that social media companies have come under scrutiny for their information policing of users, which critics argue hamper First Amendment rights.

The group Catalyze/Citizens also pointed out that Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign failed to focus on immigration policies and frame them in a favorable light. A report released by the group shows that Trump, on the other hand, focused largely on immigration spending millions to “frame immigration as a national threat.”

According to Breitbart, the Extraction Migration policy championed by Jobs and criticized by Trump can be explained as follows:

“The migration policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries. The additional workers, white-collar graduates, consumers, and renters push up stock values by shrinking Americans’ wages, subsidizing low-productivity companies, boosting rents, and spiking real estate prices.”

Breitbart adds, “The little-recognized economic policy has loosened the economic and civic feedback signals that animate a stable economy and democracy. It has pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, reduced Americans’ productivity and political clout, slowed high-tech innovation, shrunk trade, crippled civic solidarity, and incentivized government officials and progressives to ignore the rising death rate of discarded, low-status Americans.”

President-elect Donald Trump recognized the implications of this policy, and has worked hard to warn Americans against it. In an effort to defend the policy however, supporters of it are calling Trump’s efforts “narrative trickery,” which led to the development of Catalyze/Citizens. If able, progressives see that the solution is in shifting the narrative by targeting speech critical of the policy.
