Cleaning up the president’s mess …
With more and more illegals effortlessly crossing the border via the Rio Grande, the Republican governor announced Thursday in Del Rio that the Lone Star State will clean up the mess that Biden – who refuses to take ownership or control of the crisis – has made.

“The influx across the border is out of control, and the Biden Administration has shown that is not going to step up and do its job,” Abbott told Breitbart Texas after making his announcement. “And amidst reports of even more people coming in across the border, we know we have to step up and do more.”
Breitbart Texas reported that Del Rio Sector agents apprehended 27,890 migrants – a 1,118% jump from last May, when then-President Donald Trump was cracking down on illegal immigration and building the border wall.
“The reason why we are here [Del Rio] is because of the massive increase,” Abbott told Breitbart. “[Border crossings used to be highly] concentrated in the Rio Grande Valley, [but] now, you know, we’re upstream from the Rio Grande Valley in the Del Rio Sector and the Del Rio Sector is suffering from some of the largest increases.”
Getting worse under Biden
It was also noted by the governor that elected and law enforcement officials – along with local residents close to the border – are telling him about illegal activities they have never before witnessed.
“They’re seeing a lot of very bad dangerous people come across the border – people that they are afraid of encountering, people who are causing damage to their fences, their livestock, their crops, their neighborhoods and their homes,” Abbot shared. “Bad things are happening around here, and so they need help from the state to help them address this exploding crisis.”
