Law enforcement officials with the state of Texas appear to have taken control of the situation in Del Rio, Texas, after the Biden administration repeatedly failed to stop tens of thousands of migrants from illegally entering the United States.
“The Texas Department of Public Safety is in full force along the border around the Del Rio area,” Governor Greg Abbott said in a tweet that featured a picture showing scores of law enforcement vehicles that had descended on the area. “They have built a barricade with their squad cars and State Troopers. The National Guard is working with them to secure the border.”
Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin tweeted out a video showing the “massive surge” in law enforcement presence at the border.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (TDPS) tweeted out photographs from both the ground and from their drone that showed the scale of Abbott’s response to the crisis that started late last week and erupted over the last few days.
TDPS noted that their response came after “the federal government has failed to secure the border.”
The move by Abbott comes as approximately 15,000 illegal aliens had flooded the area in recent days and there were few signs of the situation getting better.
The New York Times reported that local officials have described the scene as one resembling a “a shantytown, with little access to clean water and food and just a few portable toilets.” The Times noted that there was no running water at the site, and photos showed people having to carry large packages of bottled water to the area.
Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) said that a majority of the nearly 15,000 illegal aliens were military aged males and he reportedly told Fox News that there was allegedly criminal activity taking place in the area where the illegal aliens were staying under the bridge. Pfluger said that border officials told him that this was “the worst they have ever seen it.” He also said after seeing the situation that it was “worse than you could imagine” and that the “worst is yet to come.”
“If they decided to riot or if unrest happened, it would be a terrible situation,” Pfluger said. “It is ripe. It is 100 degrees outside right now and you literally have 14,878 people here — this is how serious the situation is.”
Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) said on Saturday that the situation on the border was so dire that “there are food shortages in grocery stores” and “restaurants have closed early to make food for the camp and workers who usually commute from Mexico are unable to get to work resulting in a shortage of help.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed the administration during a trip to the site late this week, saying that “Biden could end this tomorrow by simply following the law and reinstating deportation flights back.”
“When you have open borders, this is what you get,” Cruz said. “This is wrong. This is not humane. This is not compassionate. This is lawless, and it is inviting suffering. This needs to end.”
they should’ve dropped leaflets with directions to jotato’s beach house, nasty nancy’s place, and obummer’s martha vineyards compound...
What I don't understand is how the drone flights were a security problem before the Texas DPS offered a helicopter platform to Fox, but stopped being a security problem after.
Admittedly they were warned with the “No Lifeguard On Duty” sign on the way to the slushie and hot dog concession. Have to be careful at the beach.
That’s all we need in this country, thousands of Haitians getting welfare for who knows how long. And where will they live. Next door to you and me, no doubt.
What a disaster Biden has been.
Took them long enough.
Reporter risking his life along with daredevil pilot to cross Biden and Psaki by filing reports behind enemy lines.
Is a Pulitzer not far off?
Texas Air Guard C17s, C130s, and C141s …. Flying non-stop to Port Au Prince.
Getting the border back open is why both parties colluded to cheat Trump out.
Photo of cars....
That’s actually a drive-in movie theater and the big screen is showing an old war movie of advancing troops clashing.
No cars in real life line up that evenly.
Concession building was cropped out of picture.

COVID-19 Information | U.S. Embassy in Haiti //Sep 2, 2021 — Haiti currently has a total of 20,941 COVID-19 cases. There have been a total of 586 deaths bringing the rate of lethality around 2.8%.
Bear in mind that the left creates crises. This didn’t happen by chance. The left planned this, financed it, and implemented it. That’s a lot of plane tickets. Does Flightradar.com have a playback button? It would be interesting to know how many unscheduled flights there were between haiti and mexico.
This was planned and implemented, like the 2 year long covid crisis was. The end goal is the destruction of the USA. When the USA falls, every other “free” country will go down right after.
