As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-democrat-mayor-begs-biden-to-stop-release-of-migrants-into-texas\/\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported, a YouTube account for the Del Rio government&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VPUbt42YsAI\">posted<\/a> a video&nbsp;in which Lozano stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"22\">\n<p><em>Mr. President, my name is Bruno Lozano, mayor of the city of Del Rio, Texas, and I am pleading and requesting with you to please put a halt to any measures regarding the release of immigrants awaiting court dates into the city of Del Rio and surrounding areas. We do not have the resources available to house and accommodate these migrants within our community. I will have no choice but to use the extreme measure under the emergency declaration as the mayor of the city of Del Rio, Texas, to refuse the entry of migrants awaiting court dates into the city of Del Rio. If you do send these individuals into our community, we will be forced to make a decision to leave them without resources under these dire circumstances.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I am asking to please stop. Please make another plan for this federal issue. If you\u2019re going to allow these individuals into our community, I respectfully ask that you provide the means and the supplies necessary to accommodate them safely under these extreme circumstances. Due to the crisis, we cannot provide these supplies. We have been outsourcing dialysis treatments for our in-need persons in our community; we have had to relocate the elderly who are in need of power for oxygen tanks. We are completely and utterly spread thin with resources for our own community.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lozano told the Post: \u201cI\u2019m not trying to demonize the humanitarian aspect by any means but my responsibility is to the city of Del Rio and the residents of Del Rio, Texas. My responsibilities are to the American people that got me elected. Nobody wants to actually tackle the issue. You\u2019re condoning unlawful behavior, period. There\u2019s a lawful way to enter the United States, there\u2019s a lawful way to seek asylum, and it just undermines the entire immigration process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lozano pointed out that his government has to foot the bill despite the fact that he feels the federal government has abdicated its responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not even in our budget. Every line item is accounted for in municipal government, we\u2019re very fine tuned in budget. It\u2019s not appropriate,\u201d he said. \u201cIt just blows my mind how disconnected from reality [they are] or maybe they do know, maybe they just don\u2019t want to call a spade a spade, you know, because it\u2019s uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lozano asserted that illegal immigrants are brought to the Val Verde Border Humanitarian Coalition every day, and the ones who do not leave the city wind up staying in his town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s when the logistical nightmare begins, where are they going to sleep for the night?\u201d he commented. \u201cThat\u2019s the number I worry about each day. Sometimes migrants get released after hours and there\u2019s simply nowhere to put them. I can\u2019t use the civic center because I\u2019m using that for COVID vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lozano put the blame squarely on the Biden administration: \u201cIt is very selective on who they deport now and let\u2019s be real, the Biden administration sent that message that you know \u2018we\u2019re going to reverse this, we\u2019re going to do that,\u2019 and sure enough within days, within days, it started happening again. It was completely predictable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have this policy where unlawful entry is being condoned, criminal activity is being condoned. These migrants are using the cartels to traverse Mexico, and that\u2019s a fact, and organized criminal activity is rising because of that,\u201d Lozano continued. \u201cI\u2019m calling them out. I\u2019m so frustrated as a border town mayor about all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
