Texas Republicans are furious at new revelations that the state is one of the top destinations for a controversial Biden parole program expanded in 2023.
Texas Republicans are criticizing a Biden administration parole program for four nationalities after it was revealed this week that three of the top destinations for migrants under the program are in Texas -- on top of the numbers it is already seeing coming across the border. 'It's just another layer to the entirety of what we're dealing with,' Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas told Fox News Digital in an interview.
The invasion at our southern border has turned every American city into a border city, and the Biden administration’s efforts to fly illegal aliens across the country is the reason why,' Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas said in a statement to Fox News Digital. 'Biden’s fast-track processing, and programs like their CHNV parole program, are only pushing the border crisis further into the interior of the country.
Much of the leverage has been given up. So I think this is more of a reason for Texas to do what it has to do, governors to do what they have to do, because, frankly, the federal government has abandoned them,' he said. 'This is a reason to elect Donald Trump. This is a reason to, yes, send Republicans, to the House and to the Senate. So we can at least have an actual debate about border security.' Fox News' Aubrie Spady contributed to this report.
