A host of House Republicans descended on Eagle Pass for a firsthand look at a migrant surge into the heart of the small Texas border town.
More than 13,000 migrants entered the United States in Eagle Pass over the past eight days. During an afternoon press brief on Monday near the Rio Grande, most touted using the “power of the purse” to force the Biden administration to seal the border.
“My message is clear – end catch and release, stop using asylum as a hall pass, and put our Border Patrol Agents back on the frontlines,” the Texas congressman stated. Arrington says the Biden administration has created the migration crisis at the southern border by not enforcing immigration laws currently at their disposal. He said, “Biden is violating Title 8 of the U.S. Code by not detaining migrants — the law says shall detain, he is not.”
“We need to support the states, like Texas, that are trying to stop this,” Arrington explained. “Negotiating with Chuck Schumer and President Biden is not going to get us as much as we need.”
