U.S. House Rep Henry Cuellar (D-TX) today attempted to blame Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott after 3 migrants drowned trying to illegally cross the Rio Grande into Texas.
Cuellar released a lengthy statement describing the events that occurred at the Texas border and mentioned Abbott as well.
“This is a tragedy, and the State bears responsibility,” Cuellar concluded in the statement.
Cuellar said in the statement that the three migrants who drowned were an adult female and two children.
The statement also said that the migrants were part of a group of six migrants who were attempting to cross the river.

It was previously reported that the Texas National Guard had seized control of Shelby Park in the city of Eagle Pass, Texas.
Shelby Park has been at the center of the migrant crisis that has engulfed the U.S. border and authorities have reportedly set up razor wire and fences to block off the area.
The decision was made as part of Abbott’s emergency declaration, according to Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas.
Salinas said that the park was closed and in response, Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze said, “Texas will continue to deploy Texas National Guard soldiers, DPS troopers, and more barriers, utilizing every tool and strategy to respond to President Biden’s ongoing border crisis.”

It wouldn’t have happened if they immigrated legally.
If Biden hadn’t said: “Come one, come all to the USA we will give you everything free”. They would still be alive in their country..
Amen brother!
Joe The Sniff Bribeme is to blame and no one else he is the one that will not enforce the laws we have the old bastard wants all these people because he thinks they all will vote dem/communist and that is the reason they want all these wetbacks in this country.
A mother and two children, sad. Democrats OWN their demise. Their policies are getting people killed all over the world. That’s the truth. Some people will deny the facts, but they are just ignorant and very misinformed.
this happens when a terminally weak cowardice infused political party named the GOP fails to punish abusive polices and politics of the ruling party.
I’m thinking that if they stayed in their own damn country instead of trying to sneak into ours then they would still be alive. To err is human but to lay it on someone else is cool. It’s the Dimocrat way, but nice try, Henry.
Blame the coyotes. Make them pay.
Blame those who offered outrageous incentives to those who were willing to risk life and limb to get here to partake in those incentives!
Let the congressman’s words be his death warrant.
Ehhhhhhh….illegals dead….dont care. Nobody wants them here. If they are too stupid to look for any easier way across, then they deserved to be dead. Stay the out of my country.
