“It does not make sense to end this until there is a real plan and the capacity in place to handle those and address those that come over,” Beto O’Rourke said in an interview with TexasTribune on Tuesday.
Gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke, seen at the Battle of Flowers parade Friday, told The Texas Tribune Tuesday: “It does not make sense to end this until there is a real plan and the capacity in place to handle those and address those that come over.
O’Rourke has previously called for the federal government to end Title 42, saying it has led to repeat crossings that contribute to an overwhelmed Border Patrol staff, and has pushed instead for a better system for processing asylum claims.“What it has done is produced a situation where the same person is crossing multiple times a week, and under Title 42 that Border Patrol agent simply turns that person back around and then that person tries to cross the next day,” he said.
, who unveiled plans last week to bus migrants apprehended by immigration officials at the border to Washington, D.C. — if they volunteer — and increase commercial vehicle inspections at Texas’ ports of entry.at the state’s international bridges, causing massive delays for truck crossings and millions of dollars in economic damage to businesses in the state. Abbott says the inspections are necessary because commercial vehicles are used by drug cartels to smuggle drugs and humans into the state.
Abbott said his actions are needed because the Biden administration has not taken action to reduce the number of migrants coming to the southern border.
