Texas AG Paxton criticizes Biden border policy ahead of Venezuelan migrants’ arrival

JIMMIE JOHNSON: TEXAS REPUBLICANS ARE BLASTING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AHEAD OF A NEW WAVE OF MIGRANTS HEADING TO THE BORDER. 

ABOUT THREE THOUSAND MIGRANTS, MANY FROM VENEZUELA, ARE FLEEING ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS CAUSED BY PRESIDENT NICOLAS MADURO. IN RECENT YEARS, THE U-S HAS UNSUCCESSFULLY TRIED TO LIMIT MADURO’S POWER THROUGH FINANCIAL SANCTIONS. 

BUT, AS A RESULT OF THE TURMOIL, THE COUNTRY HAS WITNESSED A MASS EXODUS.  

IN SEPTEMBER ALONE, U-S CUSTOMS AND BORDER PATROL ENCOUNTERED MORE THAN 10-THOUSAND VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER, AND THAT NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO RISE.  

IN AN INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS, TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON LAID OUT A PLAN HE THINKS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SHOULD FOLLOW TO GET IMMIGRATION UNDER CONTROL. 

KEN PAXTON, TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL: ”If they would merely just do what the Trump administration did which was enforce federal law, put the ‘Remain in Mexico’ program back in place, depart criminals, and start building this wall, we can have an immigration policy that works. Then if we want to address adding a greater number of people to come here legally, I have no problem with that.”

JIMMIE: WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS GROUP OF MIGRANTS, THEY TOO HAD TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE DARIEN GAP, ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS JUNGLES, TO GET HERE.
