Scott Applewhite)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 7:14 AM PT \u2013 Monday, March 15, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>The governor of Texas said Joe Biden\u2019s open border policies are enriching Mexican drug cartels. Republican Greg Abbott made those comments during an interview on Sunday. He pointed out that not only are illegal immigrants flocking to the southern border in droves, but Mexican cartels are making money off of them by offering to smuggle migrants across.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cartels are quite literally being enriched because of the policies that are being used by the Biden administration,\u201d Abbott stated. \u201cThe Biden administration is helping the cartels make more money and grow more power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Texas governor also pointed out there have been around 110,000 apprehensions in the Rio Grande Valley this year compared to 90,000 in total for 2020. He said this is the reason he launched <a href=\"https:\/\/gov.texas.gov\/news\/post\/governor-abbott-dps-launch-operation-lone-star-to-address-crisis-at-southern-border\">Operation Lone Star<\/a>, which sends National Guardsmen to fill in the gaps at the southern border that are often used by border smugglers.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) also said Joe Biden and his policies are responsible for the latest migrant crisis at the U.S. southern border. In an interview Sunday, the Louisiana lawmaker said the latest surge of illegal arrivals from Mexico is directly connected to the change of U.S. administration.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican senator added, Biden\u2019s calls for open border policies encouraged thousands of illegal migrants to storm the U.S. border. Cassidy said Biden\u2019s policies have inspired human smugglers to ramp up their operations in Mexico as well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2386631\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2386631\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2386631 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fb_image-978.jpeg\" alt=\"People lower the remains of Elfego Miranda Diaz into a grave, one of the Guatemalan migrants who was killed near the U.S.-Mexico border in January, at a cemetery in Comitancillo, Guatemala, Saturday, March 13, 2021.
