The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, recently expressed concerns over the influx of unaccompanied minors crossing the border into the United States. Abbott highlighted the issue of children being exploited by drug cartels, who often use them to pose as family units to gain entry into the country illegally. He criticized the Biden administration's handling of the situation, stating that the exceptions to the new rules exceed the rule itself, allowing more individuals to enter the country unlawfully.
Abbott emphasized the dangers faced by unaccompanied children, who are at risk of being used as tools by criminal organizations to facilitate illegal crossings. He condemned the exploitation of children and questioned the Democrats' stance on human rights abuses, calling attention to the lack of action in protecting vulnerable individuals.
In a separate development, the Texas Department of Public Safety released a list of the 10 most wanted criminal illegal immigrants, highlighting the presence of individuals wanted for serious crimes such as murder, rape, and assault. Abbott underscored the importance of apprehending these individuals and holding them accountable for their actions.
The Texas DPS is actively pursuing these criminal illegal immigrants to ensure public safety and uphold the law. Abbott reiterated the state's commitment to addressing the issue of criminal elements entering the country illegally and emphasized the need for strong enforcement measures to protect communities.
