Within a few months of the November election, some Democrats are distancing themselves from President Joe Biden's border policies even as he is expected to advance an executive action next month on the border.
The bill wouldn't cap illegal border entries to 5,000 a day; would codify and expand the Biden administration policies over which at least 25 state attorneys general have sued; amend federal law to expand illegal entry, which incentivizes "Fraud families," human smuggling and other crimes, officials have explained.
With more than 11 million border crossers and escalating crime associated with them rising since January 2021, the border crisis remains one of the top issues for voters ahead of the November election.
Still, the president is preparing to issue executive action on the border, which he could sign as early as next month, Politico reported.
"President Biden inherited the most secure border with the lowest illegal immigration since last century," he maintains.
"With the stroke of a pen, he proudly ended those secure border policies and opened the border to more than 11 million illegal immigrants from more than 150 different countries - including known terrorists, murderers, and rapists." Instead of securing the border, he is also trying to stop Texas from securing it, Abbott says.
"Texas is building a border wall, installing hundreds of miles of razor wire and buoy barriers, and deploying thousands of Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers. Operation Lone Star is working, and President Biden would do well to follow our lead, or get out of the way."
