Texas AG: Biden ‘Aiding and Abetting’ Cartels

Newsmax reported that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused President Joe Biden’s administration of “aiding and abetting” drug cartels at the southern border, leading to a surge in migrant numbers. Paxton said the administration encourages cartels to profit and increase immigration, hindering Texas from enforcing its laws. He also criticized the Department of Justice’s threat of legal action against Texas for a new law allowing the arrest of illegal migrants.

More from Newsmax:

"This threat of a lawsuit is because we merely want to protect our own citizens from the crime and the cost of illegal immigration, when it's really their job to do it," said Paxton.

The attorney general talked about mayors of Democrat-led sanctuary cities who are speaking out against the high numbers of migrants who are being sent to their cities. 

"All of these cities during the Trump administration created sanctuary cities and discouraged the Trump administration from blocking the border and keeping these illegals from coming across," said Paxton. "Now that the Biden administration is allowing them, and they're getting a few hundred or a few thousand versus the literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions, that the border states are getting."

He added that it's "a little ironic" that the mayors are blaming Texas, "when all we're doing is dealing with a much more significant problem."
