Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that the state’s counties will soon arrest illegal migrants for aggravated trespass on Wednesday’s Sean Hannity show. This new policy will begin next week.

The Texas governor issued emergency declarations for 34 counties along the southern border over the immigration crisis. According to him, the counties asked for the declarations. “I don’t think this has ever happened before,” Abbott said, “where a disaster declaration was made for border counties because of the influx of people coming across the border.”

Now, illegal migrants could land “half a year in jail if not a year in jail” for crossing the Texas border, Abbott said. This comes after reports that the Biden administration is prohibiting deportations. Meanwhile, attempted border crossings are on the rise.

Is the Mexican President blackmailing the U.S.? $20 billion or ‘flow of migrants will continue’

Mexican President Lopez Obrador

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador doubled down on his attempt to blackmail the United States into paying billions of dollars, or else the “flow of migrants will continue.” A report at Fox News reveals that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador earlier “demanded a series of actions by the United States in order for him to try to cut off some of the millions of illegal aliens coming from Mexico into the United States across its southern border.”

Then just days ago, he said in an appearance on 60 Minutes that if the U.S. fails to meet his demands, “The flow of migrants will continue.” The report said Obrador, in recent weeks, has demanded that the U.S. give $20 billion a year to Latin American nations, lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo and give legal status in America to the millions of Mexicans who already have entered illegally.

“Mexico has reportedly taken some state-level action to curb mass migration at President Biden’s request, making crossings drop, however, the number of migrants began to rise again in February, with Border Patrol expecting another surge in the spring,” the report said.

WND reports that the Interviewer Sharyn Alfonsi asked, “Everybody thinks you have the power in this moment to slow down migration. Do you plan to?”

He responded that the “root causes” must be addressed.

“Your critics have said what you’re doing, what you’re asking for to help secure the border, is diplomatic blackmail. What do you say?” Alfonsi asked. He later seemed to contradict himself, confirming that even if those things don’t happen, he will continue to try to help secure the border because the relationship between the nations is important.
