A congressional delegation touring the collapsed southern border witnessed a horde of illegals attempting to traverse razor wire installed by the State of Texas to deter illegal crossings.
On Wednesday, illegal aliens crossed the Rio Grande River in Eagle Pass, Texas, in full view of a group of 60 Republicans led by House Speaker Mike Johnson as the GOP attempts to make securing the border one of its top priorities.
Upon crossing the Rio Grande, Customs and Border Protection agents incredibly helped illegals unlawfully enter the country by cutting razor wire, which Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said constituted a violation of a court order.
“Importantly, if this video was taken today, it means that the Biden Admin. is in direct violation of a current court order by the 5th circuit court of appeals prohibiting the border patrol from cutting the razor wire erected by Texas,” Gov. Abbott wrote on social media.
“If true, we will seek contempt of court.”
According to reports, the Biden administration indeed sought for the CBP to remove Texas’ razor wire, filing a petition with the US Supreme Court on Tuesday asking them to vacate an injunction from the State of Texas barring agents from removing the barrier.
Footage from the Arizona border also shows US soldiers helping illegal immigrants from Ecuador unlawfully cross into the country.
Gov. Abbott responded Wednesday to recent comments from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claiming illegal crossings are at an all-time high due to “climate change.”
“Climate change? Mayorkas is pathetic,” Abbott responded. “The REAL reason illegal immigration records are being set is because Biden refuses to enforce immigration laws. We will send more buses and planes. We will continue building the razor wire walls that Biden wants to tear down.”
Things are heating up on the illegal immigration front as both state and federal governments battle over control of the border, with the former attempting to defend national sovereignty while the latter blatantly undermines it.
