Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr. said he believes “100%” that President Joe Biden is at fault for the recent increase in immigrants in his border town.
The city is on the banks of the Rio Grande and recently issued an emergency declaration over the 4,000 foreign nationals that illegally crossed the river between ports of entry and under the international bridge. It is set to expire in seven days from Thursday. Salinas was asked during an interview if he faulted Biden for the sudden increase.
Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings.
Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.
I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire. pic.twitter.com/eMtLS8Z6WI
