Texas Governor Greg Abbott blamed President Joe Biden for the deaths of several migrants and stated that the deaths were due to Biden’s open border policies.
“The deaths are b/c of Biden’s Open Border magnet,” Abbott pressed.
However, the Texas Military Department refuted claims that they prevented border patrol agents from saving the migrants, stating that the drownings had already occurred when access was requested.
Turns out @RepCuellar (& some media) were so eager to point finger at Texas for drowning of migrants they forgot to get the facts.
When BP requested access to river the drownings had already occurred & found in MX.
The fact is the deaths are b/c of Biden's Open Border magnet. https://t.co/MAScagsUXl

“At the time that Border Patrol requested access, the drownings had occurred, Mexican Authorities were recovering the bodies, and Border Patrol expressed these facts to the TMD personnel on site,” the department stated.
This follows criticism from Texas Democrats, including Rep. Henry Cuellar, who suggested the state bears responsibility for the deaths, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who criticized Abbott’s border security policies as “inhumane.”
