(Patriot.Buzz) – In light of the video footage showcasing an alarming number of illegal aliens forcefully bypassing Texas National Guard troops, the Biden administration has resorted to blaming former President Donald Trump for the chaos along the United States’ southern border.
This confrontation happened in El Paso, Texas, where roughly 600 individuals dismantled razor wire barriers and attacked the soldiers in an aggressive attempt to enter the U.S.
In light of the situation, a White House official expressed gratitude towards the Border Patrol for their swift action in managing the situation and detaining the migrants in an issued statement.
The spokesperson elaborated and blamed the border disorder on Trump’s alleged insistence on Republican Congressional members to obstruct a bipartisan border security proposal.
The White House official endorsed the former president as the source of the ensuing problem, particularly highlighting the recent breach as a direct outcome of Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star.
The administration’s remarks come after House Republicans refused to pass a bill endorsed by Biden and the Senate intended to tackle certain border security concerns. The House had previously rejected the proposal since the Senate was focused on providing Ukraine with more taxpayer money without addressing the American southern border’s pressing needs.
Republican House leadership including Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Majority Whip Tom Emmer and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik criticized the Senate’s proposal for border policy, arguing it would encourage further illegal immigration without addressing necessary asylum reforms or work authorizations for undocumented individuals.
In turn Texas finds itself fighting a legal battle with the federal government over the state’s new immigration legislation designed to empower state law enforcement to detain individuals crossing the border unlawfully.
The Biden administration argues that Texas’ actions breach federal immigration regulations and the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, while supporters argue for the state’s prerogative to safeguard its borders against perceived threats.
As legal proceedings continue, the legislation remains suspended by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals while data reveals an alarming increase in Border Patrol encounters nationwide since Biden’s inauguration, with 9 million people entering the country and 1.7 million gotaways.
