El Paso, Texas (Border report) As civil rights advocates advised local governments not to participate in Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s “border operations”, the governor issued two requests on Friday to resolve what he called a “border crisis” .
The governor’s office has issued a statewide appeal for prison guards to assist border sheriffs because they anticipate an increase in the number of illegal immigrants arrested. Abbott also urged counties to submit a two-year projected budget for possible reimbursement of expenses related to the immigration wave, and required state legislators to approve it.
Abbott has repeatedly accused the Biden administration of failing to respond to the increase in illegal immigration at the Texas-Mexico border. In a press release issued on Friday, Abbott said: “Texas will not tolerate criminal activity, which is why we must step up our response to this crisis in the absence of the Biden administration.”
