Texas lawmakers blast Biden after 46 migrants found dead in tractor-trailer
NY Post ^ | June 28, 2022 | By Emily Crane

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has lashed out and blamed President Joe Biden for the deaths of 46 migrants whose bodies were found abandoned in a tractor-trailer in sizzling temperatures in a suspected smuggling attempt.

Hours after the bodies were discovered in the back of an 18-wheeler in San Antonio Monday evening, the Republican governor fired off a tweet saying, “These deaths are on Biden.”

“They are a result of his deadly open border policies,” he added. “They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law.”

A number of fellow Republicans also blamed Biden’s immigration policies for the tragedy, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tweeting, “How many more people have to die before Dems give a damn?”

“Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has lashed out...”

It’s not ‘lashing out’ to be upset that 46 people needlessly died.

Will the senate have a debate on truck control? Nobody needs a high capacity assault truck like that. A smaller truck would have limited the number of deaths.

This would have been another case for impeaching Trump if it happened inder his watch.

They are not “migrants”. They are illegal immigrants. Trespassers who entered the country illegally.

Add this to the death count resulting from the actions or inactions of the Biden Crime Family.

I have not read anything yet if the 100 or so folks in that trailer came through a US Port of Entry and the trailer was not checked.

Or did the truck driver pick up 100 or so folks after they had entered the USA.

The RATs and their toadies in the so called “media” are responsible for these deaths. They are truly the party of death. Governor Abbott had a policy to inspect these giant trucks coming across our borders. The far left loonies raised hell and forced him into canceling the inspections and therefore, helped kill these “migrating” illegal aliens.

What Abbott and many of us are forgetting is The Biden Doctrine (open borders) allows for quiet a few (more than a few) expendable Americans & Mexicans. Both the GOPe and all the Democrats agree a few dead Mexicans & Americans are just the price to be paid for cheap labor and even cheaper votes.

as Crowder says, “Prove me Wrong”.

Remember a month or so ago when Governor Abbott sent busloads of illegals to Washington DC? He ought to send this truckload of illegals to DC as well.

“They are a result of his deadly open border policies,”

If the border’s open why would they have to smuggle them in in a semi?

Can we start a GoFundMe to pay to have the corpses delivered to Washington and dumped on the lawn of the White House?

“””they are invaders...”””

Yes, let us never wordsmithing to downplay who these people are.

Now some are workers, some are criminals, some are coming to get welfare benefits not available in their home country.

But in the final analysis they are all invaders because they are not abiding by entry rules established decades ago.
