Texas Governor Greg Abott replies to Chigaco Mayor Lori Lightfoot. "With more to come…"
Dear Mayor Lightfoot:
The ongoing border and humanitarian crisis that Texas and the entire United States are grappling
with is a direct result of President Biden’s open-border policies. Under the previous
administration, illegal immigration was at its lowest levels in decades. Now, President Biden is
preparing to open the floodgates by ending Title 42 expulsions next week, and Texas is on the
frontlines of this catastrophe.
As the mayor of a self-declared sanctuary city, it is ironic to hear you complain about Chicago’s
struggle to deal with a few thousand illegal immigrants, which is a fraction of the record-high
numbers we deal with in Texas on a regular basis. Texas border towns like Eagle Pass,
Brownsville, and Laredo—and even bigger cities like El Paso—cannot handle the flood of illegal
immigrants rushing across our southern border.
With Title 42 expulsions set to end next week, the federal government has estimated that we
could have up to 13,000 illegal immigrants cross the U.S.–Mexico border every single day.
Some reports indicate that there are nearly 35,000 waiting to cross into El Paso as soon as Title
42 expulsions are no longer in effect. If Chicago can’t deal with 8,000 in less than a year, how
are small Texas border communities supposed to manage 13,000 in just one day?
These surges in illegal crossings will be accompanied by criminal activity, gang violence, and
deadly drugs like fentanyl. These problems do not stay in border communities in Texas. They
make their way all throughout the country, including to the streets of Chicago. Innocent
Americans are put at risk every day by these open-border policies.
If you truly want to “work together to find a real solution” to this border crisis gripping our
nation, you must call on the Biden Administration to do its job by securing our border, repelling the illegal immigrants flooding into our communities, classifying the Mexican drug cartels as
foreign terrorist organizations, and intercepting the deadly fentanyl that is endangering our
country.
You are right that “this situation is completely untenable,” but this is not a Texas problem—this
is a problem for the entire United States of America. To provide much-needed relief to our
overrun border communities, Texas began busing migrants to sanctuary cities such as your
“Welcoming City,” along with Washington, D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia, with more
to come. Until Biden secures the border to stop the inflow of mass migration, Texas will
continue this necessary program.
Sincerely,
