Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has gone full-throated demagogue in his war of words with President Biden.<\/p>\n

He accuses Biden of not caring about Americans because his immigration policies are a good bit more humane than those of his presidential predecessor, Donald John Trump.<\/p>\n

That is a foolish assertion and Abbott ought to know better. Well, he does know better. It’s not in his political interest, apparently, for him to acknowledge it.<\/p>\n

Abbott went to Mission today to announce a program called Operation Lone Star, which aims to ramp up arrests of undocumented immigrants seeking entry into the United States.<\/p>\n

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott slams President Joe Biden’s immigration policies | The Texas Tribune<\/a><\/p>\n

What, precisely, did the Biden administration do to incur Abbott’s demagogic wrath? It has sought to enact a more “humane” policy, which has spurred an increase in immigrants trying to crash into the country. As the Texas Tribune reports:<\/p>\n

The Biden administration has acknowledged that the increase in migrants coming to the border is, in part, a result of new policies intended to be more humane toward migrants and asylum seekers. That\u2019s especially true of unaccompanied minors, said White House Press Secretary Jenn Psaki.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHumanity will always be a value,\u201d she said during a press briefing Tuesday. \u201cWhat we\u2019re really talking about in terms of the people who are being let in are unaccompanied children. That is a policy decision which we made because we felt it was the most humane approach to addressing what are very difficult circumstances in the region.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Abbott said this, according to the Tribune: \u201cHe does not care about Americans. He cares more about people who are not from this country\u201d said Abbott, who spoke in front of a wall of Texas Department of Public Safety vehicles parked near the banks of the Rio Grande in Mission.<\/em><\/p>\n

Once again, Abbott is tossing out the “open borders” canard. The border isn’t “open,” governor. The presence of border security guards should tell everyone the truth about what is happening on our southern border.<\/p>\n\n
