At a Tuesday campaign stop, Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Robert Francis O’Rourke, an Irishman who goes by “Beto” to pretend he’s Latino, made a quick snack out of his own foot when addressing the situation at the southern border. Governor Abbott was criticized by the nominee. Greg Abbott’s decision to deploy National Guard troops at the border to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. as “a solution in search of a problem.”
Breitbart News reported:
Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke told supporters at a campaign stop in College Station that the decision to deploy guardsmen under Operation Lone Star is a “solution in search of a problem.” His comments come after more than 2 million migrants crossed the border illegally into the United States under President Joe Biden’s first year in office — more than one million in Texas alone.
“There are [National] Guard members from Texas A&M who are on the border right now in Zapata, in Webb, in Hidalgo Counties to go be part of a solution in search of a problem,” O’Rourke told people attending the campaign stop.
Mark Miner, Abbott’s spokesman, clapped back at O’Rourke and the Senate candidate who failed to win. “Beto O’Rourke needs to tell the more 1,000 Texas families who lost loved ones due to fentanyl that our southern border isn’t a problem,” he said.
The highest death toll in recent years was over 100,000 Americans from overdoses. About 60 percent of these deaths were caused by fentanyl, which has been flowing over the southern border in large part due to President Joe Biden’s migrant crisis.
Only hours after taking office, the president began reversing most of former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. This was followed by the beginning of America’s greatest migrant crisis. Tens of thousands of immigrants made their way over the southern border.
Mexican drug cartels took advantage of the chance to import more illegal substances. Record-breaking amounts of heroin, pot, and other illegal drugs have been confiscated by authorities. A lot of the drug was laced with deadly fentanyl.
Abbott created Operation Lone Star 2021. It sent over 2,000 Texas National Guard soldiers to help stop the illegal immigration to the United States. Breitbart Texas reports that this action led to more than 105,000 migrants encounters and significant amounts of weapons and drug seizures.
Of course, Beto is attempting to play to his audience’s ignorance. Recent months have seen a lot of neglect by activist media about the issues at the border. In fact, the border crisis was first reported in September 2001. SomeThe White House has not been transparent about the situation and unaccompanied minors are still held in detention centers. Now, as the midterm elections draw closer, it seems that our beloved Fourth Estate has mostly forgot about this matter.
Unfortunately for the Irishman, people in Texas remain well aware of what is happening at the border, so it is not likely they will smell what he’s cooking. O’Rourke has already proven to be out of touch with Texans, especially when it comes to the Second Amendment. O’Rourke recently changed his anti-gun radicalism and stated that he does not want to take away AR-15 rifles. He appears to have not learned anything about immigration. This, along with the fact that he’s not quite as popular as Democrats would have us believe, will contribute to his ignominious defeat in November.
