TV host sheds light on the dire situation at the Texas border
In a recent social media post, former TV host Dr. Phil voiced his own observations after visiting the Texas border. He expressed his need to witness the situation firsthand, stating, “I have so much to say and share.”
Dr. Phil, known for his popular show, highlighted Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s claims that President Biden has failed to enforce protection laws and has encouraged thousands of migrants to avoid legal entry points into the United States.
During his video message, Dr. Phil revealed that Texas law enforcement has seized a staggering 454 million lethal doses of fentanyl as part of their mission. Governor Abbott accused the federal government of breaking the agreement between the states and the United States federal government. He further alleged that President Biden not only disregarded these laws but also violated them.
The consequences of these actions, according to Dr. Phil, have resulted in an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, breaking records for illegal immigration and wasting taxpayer money to compromise Texas border security infrastructure. Governor Abbott claims that President Biden enticed thousands of illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along the Texas border and into the treacherous waters of the Rio Grande.
Dr. Phil backed his statements with statistics from the Department of Homeland Security, claiming that the number of migrants who have crossed the Texas southern border since President Biden took office in 2021 is more than the population of 33 different states combined.
He also drew attention to Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been designated as the country’s immigration czar, revealing that she has only visited the border once. This revelation raises concerns about the level of attention and action being given to address the ongoing crisis.
These developments come amidst an ongoing battle between Texas and the Biden administration regarding the handling of the border situation. Last month, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Biden administration, allowing them to remove razor wire that had been put up on the border in Texas.
Texas has taken further measures by seizing Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, a location experiencing a significant increase in illegal border crossings. This move has been criticized by the Biden administration, claiming that it hinders the Border Patrol’s ability to carry out their duties effectively.
