Paxton&#8217;s remarks\u2063 came in response to the Department of Justice (DOJ) threatening to sue Texas over a new law that allows the state to arrest illegal migrants and gives local \u200bjudges more authority to order\u200b them to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton expressed his frustration\u2064 during an appearance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6344098159112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Sunday Morning \u2064Futures,&#8221;<\/a> \u200c stating, &#8220;It&#8217;s pretty crazy to\u200b see what&#8217;s happened over the last three years of the\u200b Biden administration.\u2063 Those numbers, as you have seen, get worse, not better.&#8221; He criticized the administration for not effectively addressing the problem\u200b and instead exacerbating it\u2064 by enabling cartels to profit from human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ recently sent a letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, threatening \u2064to sue the state \u2064for \u200dinterfering with federal immigration\u200d law. In response, Abbott&#8217;s office\u200b declared its readiness to take the legal battle to the U.S. Supreme Court if \u200cnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton argued that the\u200b U.S. immigration \u2064courts are overwhelmed\u2063 and unable to handle the influx of asylum seekers, allowing many to &#8220;disappear&#8221; before their court dates. He emphasized that\u200b the border crisis not only poses a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-judge-bans-enforcement-of-biden-100-day-deportation-freeze-indefinitely\/\" title=\"Texas Judge Bans Enforcement Of Biden 100-Day Deportation Freeze \u2018Indefinitely\u2019\">significant financial burden<\/a>, \u200bcosting \u2062billions of dollars, but also fuels crime,\u2063 particularly human and drug trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Paxton criticized the federal government&#8217;s attempt to remove razor wire installed by Texas \u2064officials along the Rio Grande River to deter illegal immigration. This move has resulted in a legal challenge that is currently making its way through the court system.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We merely want to\u2064 protect our own citizens from the crime and \u200bthe cost of illegal \u2064immigration, when it&#8217;s really their job to do it,&#8221; Paxton asserted.\u200d &#8220;And, instead, we&#8217;ve got the Biden administration, as I said, aiding\u200c and abetting the \u200bcartels, encouraging the cartels to make billions\u2064 of \u2063dollars and to bring as many people\u200b here as \u200bpossible \u2014 as fast as possible and as soon\u200b as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> In response to\u200b the threat of legal action from the \u2062DOJ, how \u2063did Paxton vow to defend Texas and its citizens<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Them the ability to sue anyone who assists them.\u2063<\/p>\n<p>Paxton argued that the Biden \u200cadministration&#8217;s lax immigration policies have created a humanitarian crisis at the border. He claimed that the administration&#8217;s\u200d decision \u200bto reverse several\u2063 Trump-era immigration policies\u200d and halt construction of the border wall have incentivized illegal \u200cimmigration and empowered cartels.\u200d According\u2062 to Paxton, the cartels are taking \u200badvantage of the situation by smuggling people across the border and making large sums of money in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas attorney general also accused the Biden administration of intentionally hampering the efforts of border patrol agents. He claimed that the administration&#8217;s push for &#8220;catch and release&#8221; \u2064policies, which allow illegal immigrants to be released into the interior of the \u2064country while awaiting their court hearings, has \u2064tied the hands of border patrol agents and made it easier for cartels to\u200b continue their illegal activities.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton pointed to recent incidents at the\u200d border to support his claims. \u200bHe highlighted the case of a Texas rancher who discovered a group of\u200c illegal immigrants on his\u2062 property and was subsequently ambushed and \u2062shot by members of a drug cartel. Paxton argued that this incident is just one example of the\u200d dangers that Texans face as a result of the \u2063Biden administration&#8217;s failure to secure the border.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the DOJ&#8217;s threat of legal action\u200c against Texas, Paxton vowed to fight back. He stated that the state has a \u200cduty to protect its citizens and that it will not back down in the face of intimidation from the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton&#8217;s accusations against the Biden administration have drawn \u200dboth support and criticism. Supporters argue that the administration&#8217;s policies have indeed contributed to the border crisis and that the federal government should \u2062take responsibility for its failures. Critics, on the other hand, accuse Paxton of politicizing the issue and argue that the\u200c blame lies with previous administrations \u2063as \u200bwell.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the criticisms, the\u2062 fact \u200cremains that the situation at\u2064 the southern\u2064 border is a\u200b pressing \u200bissue \u200dthat requires immediate attention. \u200bThe number of illegal border crossings has surged in recent months, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-press-for-intel-briefing-on-security-threats-from-open-southern-border\/\" title=\"House Republicans Press for Intel Briefing on Security Threats From \u201cOpen\u201d Southern Border\">overwhelming border patrol agents<\/a> and leading\u2062 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nearly-2k-migrants-apprehended-in-two-days-in-single-texas-border-sector\/\" title=\"Nearly 2K Migrants Apprehended in Two Days in Single Texas Border Sector\">overcrowded detention facilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear that a comprehensive and effective immigration policy is needed to address the crisis. This policy \u200bshould prioritize border security while also providing a fair and efficient process for asylum seekers. Additionally, \u2063it should address the\u2063 root\u2064 causes of migration from\u2063 Central America and work \u200cwith international\u200c partners\u200c to find solutions.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 Biden administration must acknowledge the severity \u2064of the situation and take immediate action to\u2062 address it. This\u2062 includes providing necessary resources to border patrol agents, implementing a consistent and streamlined immigration process, and working\u200c with Congress \u2062to pass meaningful immigration reform.<\/p>\n<p>While the accusations made\u200d by Texas \u2064Attorney General Ken Paxton may be \u200bcontroversial, they shine a light on the urgent need for action. The border crisis has\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tech-giants-are-releasing-poor-news-daily-cutting-expectations\/\" title=\"Tech Giants Are Releasing Poor News Daily, Cutting Expectations\">wide-ranging implications<\/a> for national security, public safety, and humanitarian \u200dconcerns. It is \u200ccrucial that \u200bthe Biden administration takes swift and decisive action to regain control of the situation and ensure\u2062 the safety and well-being\u2063 of all\u2064 Americans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas AG Ken Paxton accused the Biden administration of aiding cartels in smuggling people across the southern border.
