(WBAP/KLIF) – Texas leaders reacted on Thursday to a Supreme Court decision that allows the Biden administration to end the Trump era Remain in Mexico immigration policy.
Governor Greg Abbott said that the ruling will only embolden the Biden Administration’s open border policies.
“More than fifty people recently died in a trailer—people who were allowed to cross our border illegally because of President Biden’s policies. Reinstating and fully enforcing Remain-in-Mexico would deter thousands more migrants from making that deadly trek, and President Biden should take that simple step to secure the border because it is the only humane thing to do.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Thursday’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is an unfortunate one.
“I believe it was wrongly decided,” said Paxton. “Over a year ago, Texas and Missouri sued the Biden Administration for illegally abandoning MPP. I won in district court and then won again on appeal. The Administration dragged its feet and refused to implement this effective program in good faith, allowing hundreds of thousands of illegals to pour over the border month after month. Today’s decision makes the border crisis worse. But it’s not the end.”
Paxton said he’ll keep pressing forward and focus on securing the border.
