Governor Gregg Abbot said ‘Biden was clearly wrong to blame Texas for deaths in the Rio Grande. Ken Paxton has receipts to prove it. As a federal judge already ruled, Biden & DHS “create a perverse incentive” for migrants to make dangerous illegal crossings. Biden is to blame for drownings. (see below)
‘I have insane videos of illegal aliens crossing the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas and almost drowning, and of the graveyard that filled to overflowing with people who drowned, including little kids. Joe Biden is a murderer who is allowing the border to be 100% open on purpose.’ – Just Jeff From Calif see clip below

‘BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FALSEY ACCUSES TEXAS OFFICIALS OF BLOCKING AGENTS FROM RECUSING DROWNING MIGRANTS PER NEW DOJ FILING According to a new DOJ filing , migrants drowned in the Rio Grande at 8 pm and Mexican officials did not notify U.S. Border patrol agents until 9 pm. This would discredit the claim by DHS that agents were ‘physically barred’ from entering Shelby Park and saving the migrants – Sources in MX sent me photos to confirm the bodies were recovered on the Mexican side’, said Jorge Ventura – see pics
Even the Federal Courts are siding with Texas on the border more and more. A federal appeals court reversed an order requiring Texas to move a floating barrier on the Rio Grande — the latest development in legal battles between the Biden administration and Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott over border control, said Newsmax
In a recent turn of events, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has accused Democrats of jumping to conclusions without verifying facts in the aftermath of an incident along the Rio Grande. The incident, involving the drowning of illegal immigrants, has sparked a heated debate, with conflicting narratives emerging from both sides.
What about the inhumanity being foisted on Texas????? This illegal immigrant crisis is a travesty of justice against the American people and the Dems are responsible for it! – Adrienne Zader
On January 14, the Texas Military Department (TMD), responsible for overseeing the National Guard, released a statement refuting claims made by a Democratic Congressman and the Biden administration. Contrary to the allegations, the TMD asserted that Mexican authorities had already recovered the bodies of one adult woman and two children from the river before Border Patrol agents sought access to a fenced-off 2.5-mile stretch of the southern border in Eagle Pass on January 12.
The TMD, in an updated statement, reiterated the inaccuracy of the accusations and clarified that at the time of the Border Patrol’s access request, the drownings had occurred, and Mexican authorities were actively recovering the bodies. The agency highlighted that Border Patrol agents informed TMD personnel on-site about the ongoing recovery efforts by Mexican authorities.

Furthermore, the TMD disclosed that federal Border Patrol agents sought access to the area to apprehend two additional illegal immigrants who had crossed at the Shelby Park boat ramp. These individuals were presumed to be travel companions of the deceased, according to the agency.
Of the two illegal immigrants apprehended, one was handed over to the Texas Department of Public Safety, while the other, suffering from hypothermic conditions, was transferred to emergency medical services. The TMD emphasized its continued engagement in monitoring the situation, using lights, night vision goggles, and thermals to ensure the safety of migrants in the river.

Addressing earlier claims made by the TMD, Governor Abbott criticized Democrats for hastily blaming Texas without verifying the facts. He took to social media, stating that Democrats “forgot to get the facts” in their eagerness to point fingers at Texas for the tragic incident.

The incident’s facts remain in dispute, with each side blaming the other’s border policies for the unfortunate deaths. Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar asserted that Texas authorities denied Border Patrol agents access to the park, leading to the drowning deaths. Cuellar claimed that Mexican authorities had informed Border Patrol about six distressed illegal immigrants in the river on January 12, but the agents were denied entry to the park when they attempted to respond.

Governor Abbott, in response to the TMD’s statement, shifted the blame to President Biden’s open border policies, stating, “The fact is the deaths are [because] of Biden’s Open Border magnet.”
So the whole dust up in Eagle Pass was manufactured by the Biden Administration. They seized an opportunity to use the tragic drownings on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande for political gain. Ben Ruston
The situation escalated when Texas seized control of Shelby Park on January 10 in an effort to deter illegal immigration, a common route for border crossings. The park has been utilized by Border Patrol for launching patrol boats and processing detained illegal immigrants.
The longstanding clash between the federal and Texas state governments over border policies and jurisdiction reached a new level when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) threatened legal action against Texas. DHS General Counsel Jonathan Meyer insisted that Texas’s actions to block federal Border Patrol agents from accessing Shelby Park are unconstitutional, demanding the state cease and desist such efforts.

Governor Abbott, undeterred by the threat, asserted that Texas would continue using every available tool to block illegal immigration, accusing President Biden of undermining strategies that effectively prevent unauthorized entries.

As the controversy unfolds, the incident along the Rio Grande serves as a focal point for the ongoing debate surrounding border policies, jurisdiction, and the role of state and federal authorities in addressing the complex challenges of immigration. We all know the games the Biden Administration plays with the truth. They still scream every week that ‘the border is secure’. I don’t think there is one real American who believes them with anything they say any longer. Witness, the steady decline in the polling of our dementia POTUS.
