Senator Barrasso: TX Illegal Immigrant Development Must Cease
Sen. John Barrasso Calls Out Democrats for Incentivizing Illegal Immigration
Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) has responded passionately to a recent report by the Daily Wire, which uncovered a massive settlement in Texas where thousands of illegal immigrants have made their homes. Barrasso argues that Democrats need to take responsibility for creating the incentives that have led to this problem.
The development in question, known as Colony Ridge, is located in Liberty County, Texas, near Plum Grove. It spans over 60 square miles, making it nearly the size of Washington, D.C. With an estimated population of 50,000 to 75,000, Colony Ridge is rapidly growing, thanks to a targeted marketing plan aimed at Texas’ Hispanic population.
Barrasso, who holds a prominent position in the Senate Republican leadership, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to highlight the Daily Wire’s findings. He emphasized the need for Democrats to address the incentives that are fueling the crisis and secure the border.
Joe Biden surrendered our Southern Border to illegal immigration and set up a welcome wagon for criminals, gangs and drug dealers.

The Daily Wire conducted a survey of the Colony Ridge development from a helicopter to gain a better understanding of its growth. The flight revealed a stark contrast between the wealthy Woodlands neighborhood and the underdeveloped areas of Colony Ridge, characterized by half-built homes, dilapidated trailers, and piles of trash.
Many of the houses in Colony Ridge proudly display flags from foreign countries, and addresses are often spray-painted on pieces of plywood. Some structures lack running water, and construction appears to be stalled on others. Stray dogs roam the streets, adding to the sense of neglect.
Barrasso further criticized the Biden administration during a press conference with Senate Republicans, accusing President Joe Biden of surrendering the southern border to drug dealers, criminal cartels, and gang members.

According to Barrasso, the number of illegal immigrants entering the United States is reaching record-breaking levels, with over a quarter of a million expected in the previous month alone. He expressed concern over the fact that many of these immigrants disappear once they arrive in the country.
Barrasso also highlighted the significant profits made by Mexican cartels through the smuggling of illegal aliens and drugs into the U.S. He emphasized that criminals are coming from various parts of the world, including Africa, the Middle East, and China, and that the impact of illegal immigration is no longer limited to border states.
“Fentanyl is a major killer all across the United States,” Barrasso added. “And what does our incompetent president and the Democrats in the Senate do? They keep their heads buried in the sand and as we’ve just heard from Senator Haggerty, now they want to defund ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. What do they want to do with the money? They want to set up a Welcome Wagon, to set up housing and services for those folks.”
Instead of addressing these issues, Barrasso argued that Republicans have a better solution: the Secure The Border Act of 2023. This legislation includes provisions for technology, manpower, and physical barriers to effectively protect communities, ensure safety, and secure the border.
Billion-dollar cartels are flooding our border with illegal immigrants & deadly drugs that are affecting our entire country. Instead of stopping them, @JoeBiden wants to defund @ICEgov & set up a welcome wagon for them. Republicans will continue to fight to secure our border. pic.twitter.com/lBSuCdB2xK

How have the incentives created by Democrats led to a rapidly growing population of illegal immigrants in areas like Colony Ridge in Texas?
L organizations are taking advantage of the incentives created by the Democrats, which ultimately endangers the safety and security of American citizens.
The issue of illegal immigration has long been a divisive one in American politics. However, it is essential to have an honest and open discussion about the root causes and consequences of this problem. Sen. John Barrasso’s criticism of the Democrats’ role in incentivizing illegal immigration is a vital contribution to this discussion.
The development in Texas known as Colony Ridge is a clear example of the consequences of these incentives. The targeted marketing aimed at Texas’ Hispanic population has resulted in a rapidly growing population of illegal immigrants in the area. The settlement spans a vast area and houses thousands of individuals who have entered the country illegally.
Sen. Barrasso’s response to the Daily Wire’s report highlights the need for Democrats to take responsibility for the incentives that have led to this problem. By failing to address these incentives, Democrats are indirectly encouraging illegal immigration and putting American communities at risk.
Barrasso’s critique of President Joe Biden’s administration further emphasizes this point. By surrendering the Southern border to illegal immigration, the Biden administration has created an open invitation for criminals, gangs, and drug dealers to enter the country unchecked. This not only threatens the safety and security of American citizens but also undermines the rule of law.
The Daily Wire’s survey of the Colony Ridge development provides a visual representation of the dire situation. The stark contrast between the wealthy Woodlands neighborhood and the underdeveloped, neglected areas of Colony Ridge paints a clear picture of the consequences of unchecked illegal immigration. The lack of basic amenities, such as running water and proper housing, further highlights the impact of these incentives on the lives of these illegal immigrants.
Barrasso’s concern over the number of illegal immigrants entering the country and then disappearing is a valid one. It raises questions about the effectiveness of current immigration policies and the ability to enforce them. It also underscores the urgency of addressing these incentives and securing the border to protect American communities.
Additionally, Barrasso’s highlighting of the significant profits made by Mexican cartels through illegal activities is a stark reminder that this issue not only affects immigration but also has far-reaching implications for national security and public safety. It is crucial to acknowledge and address the role these criminal organizations play in perpetuating the problem.
In conclusion, Sen. John Barrasso’s call for Democrats to take responsibility for incentivizing illegal immigration is an important contribution to the ongoing debate on this issue. It is crucial for lawmakers and policymakers to address the root causes and consequences of illegal immigration to ensure the safety, security, and well-being of American citizens. By acknowledging the role of incentives and taking steps to secure the border, we can work towards a more effective and sustainable immigration system.
