Border Chaos: White House Blames Texas Officials for Migrant Confrontations
The Biden administration blamed Texas Governor Greg Abbott and former President Donald Trump for chaotic scenes at the border, where migrants tore down razor wire and rushed guards, leaving Texas National Guard members injured. The White House press secretary's comments were muddled, blaming Abbott for the chaos and criticizing congressional Republicans for not moving forward with a Biden-backed immigration bill. The administration ignored how border crossings have dropped in areas where Abbott deployed extra resources and how razor wire and barriers have deterred migrants from entering dangerous areas. Texas has been in a legal battle with the federal government over a state law allowing the arrest of migrants crossing the border illegally, and Abbott's spokesman criticized Biden's open border policies for encouraging unsafe and illegal crossings.
