The Biden administration is apparently considering a plan that would attempt to force illegal immigrants at the southern border to remain in Texas. This is actually being sold as a way to deport people who fail asylum screenings more easily.
This is amazing, and not in a good way.
The Los Angeles Times reported:
Biden administration considers forcing migrant families to remain in TexasThe Biden administration is considering forcing some migrant families who enter the country without authorization to remain near the border in Texas while awaiting asylum screening, effectively limiting their ability to travel within the United States, three U.S. officials told The Times.Administration officials have been considering the idea as a way to stem recent increases in the numbers of migrant families crossing the southern border, which reportedly reached an all-time high last month. Supporters of the remain-in-Texas idea, which has yet to be finalized, hope that it would help the administration advance its goals of quickly deporting families who fail initial asylum screenings and deterring other families from crossing in the first place.But the proposal, which recalls President Reagan’s efforts to limit asylum seekers’ movements in the late 1980s, is likely to draw fierce opposition from immigrant rights groups and border-state officials. Since 2022, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has bused thousands of migrants out of his state to Democrat-run cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C.
Does anyone believe this spin on this? Isn’t it more likely that the Biden administration is trying to relieve the pressure being put on them by Democrat mayors and governors in blue states that are now beginning to feel the pain of Biden’s border policy?
Is Biden finally building a wall?
On top of this, a judge has just ordered Texas to remove their floating barrier in the Rio Grande.
Federal judge orders Texas to remove floating barriers aimed at deterring migrants on Rio GrandeA federal judge ordered Texas to remove floating barriers in the Rio Grande and barred the state from building new or placing additional buoys in the river, according to a Wednesday court filing, marking a victory for the Biden administration.Judge David Alan Ezra ordered Texas to take down the barriers by September 15 at its own expense.The border buoys have been a hot button immigration issue since they were deployed in the Rio Grande as part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative known as Operation Lone Star. The Justice Department had sued the state of Texas in July claiming that the buoys were installed unlawfully and asking the judge to force the state to remove them.
It is well known that Democrats have been trying for years to turn Texas blue. Is that what this is really all about?
UPDATE
FS: Governor Abbott reacts to this shady plan.
