Greg Abbott (R-Texas) said he ordered the Texas Department of State Health Services to investigate what he called a coronavirus outbreak at a Carrizo Springs facility housing migrant minors.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Biden Admin. has turned a humanitarian crisis into a complete disaster. <\/p>\n<p>One location where migrants are housed has no clean running water &amp; has a massive Covid outbreak. <\/p>\n<p>Another location also has a massive Covid outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>They were unprepared for open border policies. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qRAHdwbRdt\">pic.twitter.com\/qRAHdwbRdt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GregAbbott_TX\/status\/1373009637985943556?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Abbott also reported a lack of safe drinking water at a facility in Midland. He said these federally run centers are \u201cinhumane and unacceptable,\u201d and the Biden administration has \u201cno excuse for subjecting these children to these kinds of conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, the governor heavily criticized the administration for their adamant refusal to address the crisis at the border, which has not only put children at risk of illness, but has also enabled traffickers and smugglers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe administration has yet to provide answers that Texans deserve,\u201d Abbott stated. \u201cSo far this year, more than 11,000 minors have been apprehended crossing the border into Texas. Children crossing the border rose 60 percent from January to February to more than 9,400 in February.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The number of illegal aliens entering the U.S. continues to escalate, reportedly reaching a 20 year high.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2389609\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2389609\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2389609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fb_image-2343.jpeg\" alt=\"FILE - In this Friday, March 19, 2021, photo migrants are seen in custody at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing area under the Anzalduas International Bridge in Mission, Texas.

Inhumane conditions, that expose these children to traffickers, to abuse and to terror.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Currently, border officials are making preparations to transport detained illegal immigrants up north from the southern border for further processing.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/paris-goes-into-lockdown-as-covid-19-variant-spreads\/\">Paris Goes Into Lockdown As COVID-19 Variant Spreads<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DALLAS, TX \u2013 JULY 08: Texas Governor Greg Abbott spoke at Dallas\u2019s City Hall on July 8, 2016 in Dallas, Texas.
