Governor Abbott Orders Six Points of Entry Along Border Shut Down as Immigration Crisis Accelerates

We reported earlier today that U.S. House Rep Elise Stefanik (R-NY) accused the Democrats of an insurrection of their own by allowing so much rampant illegal immigration. Many argue that illegal immigration eventually leads to amnesty and more Democrat voters.

The United States is on the precipice of a permanent Democrat majority rule if things don’t change fast. This isn’t about racism at all but basic statistical data. Regardless, the Democrats always cry racism when anyone wants to close the borders to immigrants, legal or illegal.

Many have called for an immigration moratorium, and even U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) has hinted he may support such a thing. Clearly, the Biden/Harris administration is either in over their heads, or doing this on purpose, or potentially both. Bill Melugin has been reporting on the immigration crisis at the southern border for some time now.

Today he reported that the border patrol doesn’t have remotely enough manpower to manage the crisis as thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants continue to pour in, hoping the Biden administration will allow them to stay permanently.

Most of these people are not likely to be vaccinated for Covid-19 either, which further undermines the American people’s trust in Biden’s handling of the pandemic, which is out of control at this time in many states already.

“BREAKING: In response to the situation at the international bridge in Del Rio, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announces he is shutting down six points of entry along the border to “stop these migrant caravans from overrunning our state.” Full statement from his office below @FoxNews

UPDATE: Governor Abbott has released a new statement saying the federal government initially reached out to Texas to help with closing points of entry at the border, but reversed their decision six hours later, and “flip flopped to a strategy that abandons border security.””
