Norris, Adjutant General of the Texas National Guard, directing the guard to assist the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) in arresting illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeginning on May 31, 2021, I have issued multiple proclamations certifying under Section 418.014 of the Texas Government Code that the surge of individuals unlawfully crossing the Texas-Mexico border poses an ongoing and imminent threat of disaster for certain counties and agencies in the State of Texas,\u201d Abbott wrote. \u201cTo respond to this disaster and secure the rule of law at our Southern border, more manpower is needed \u2014 in addition to the troopers from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and soldiers from the Texas National Guard I have already deployed there \u2014 and DPS needs help in arresting those who are violating state law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, I hereby order that the Texas National Guard assist DPS in enforcing Texas law by arresting lawbreakers at the border,\u201d he ordered.<\/p>\n<p>As Abbott seeks to crack down on illegal immigration into the U.S., President Joe Biden is struggling to contain a flood of illegal immigrants crossing into the country from Mexico. On Tuesday, news broke that the Biden administration released roughly 50,000 illegal immigrants into the interior of the U.S. without scheduling a time for their asylum claims to be heard in court. As The Daily Wire reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"26.629001883239\">\n<p><em>Around 50,000 migrants who were captured crossing the United States-Mexico border illegally have been released into the United States without court dates, only instructions to eventually report back to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, according to a report from Axios.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Only 13% of those, the outlet notes, have actually followed up with an ICE agent.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The shocking news comes as reports indicate that July may be yet another record-breaking month for illegal immigration along the southern border, similar to June, which saw the largest number of illegal immigrant apprehensions at the United States southern border in years, according&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/07\/16\/us\/politics\/us-mexico-border-record.html\">to The New York Times<\/a>. Some areas of the Rio Grande Valley in Texas \u2014 one of the most highly trafficked areas of the border \u2014 are seeing&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USBPChiefRGV\/status\/1419391246313873409?s=20\">upwards of 20,000 apprehensions<\/a>&nbsp;per week, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Total apprehensions at the border for 2021 so far are expected to top one million in July, putting border patrol on track to intercept two million illegal immigrants in 2021.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey put out a joint call in June <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/arizona-texas-blast-bidens-border-security-request-back-up-from-other-states-amid-crisis\">requesting<\/a> aid from other states in securing the southern border. A handful of GOP-led states have responded to the governors\u2019 request, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/south-dakota-joins-other-gop-led-states-sending-national-guard-to-southern-border\">South Dakota<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-desantis-announces-he-will-send-florida-law-enforcement-to-assist-at-border-blasts-biden-admin\">Florida<\/a>, sending National Guard soldiers to the border states to aid in border enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecuring our border with Mexico is the federal government\u2019s responsibility. But the Biden administration has proven unwilling or unable to do the job,\u201d the governors wrote in a June 10 letter. \u201cThis failure to enforce federal immigration laws causes banns that spill over into <em>every State<\/em>.\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.
