Beto O’Rourke blasts Abbott border policy, but also commits to putting troops on border if elected
and Venezuelans escaping authoritarian governments. In August, more people crossed through Del Rio than in the Rio Grande Valley, which has historically been the focus of human smuggling operations.
Abbott said he’s having to surge personnel to the border because President Joe Biden isn’t doing enough to secure the border.in Collin County last weekHe said if Republicans take control of Congress, he’ll demand the federal government reimburse Texas for border expenses.
O’Rourke said if he beats Abbott in November, he’ll still have soldiers and DPS on the border, working strategically with county officials along the Rio Grande, but with a more narrow mission. He said he would make deployment to the border voluntary, rather than mandatory for National Guard troops. “We have made 3,000 arrests in the first three months of launching an aggressive campaign to combat the multi-billion-dollar human smuggling industry,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters last week., with the Legislature in April dedicating another $465.3 million to continue the deployment of the National Guard.
