YUMA, ARIZONA- MAY 20: An immigrant (R) walks to cross through a gap in the U.S.-Mexico border barrier as others (C) await processing by the U.S. Border Patrol on May 20, 2022 in Yuma, Arizona. Title 42, the controversial pandemic-era border policy enacted by former President Trump, which cites COVID-19 as the reason to rapidly expel asylum seekers at the U.S. border, was set to officially expire on May 23rd. A federal judge in Louisiana delivered a ruling today blocking the Biden administration from lifting Title 42. Mario Tama/Getty Images Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration will fill gaps in certain areas of former President Donald Trump’s border wall on the U.S. southern border as the illegal immigration crisis hits Washington, D.C., following a decision by Republican governors to transport thousands of illegal aliens to the nation’s capital.
The Associated Press noted that Biden “pledged during his campaign to cease all future wall construction,” but that his administration has now agreed to some additional barriers.
Controversial Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas authorized the project that will close four massive gaps in the border wall near Yuma, Arizona, which has been decimated by Biden’s border crisis.
The report suggested that part of the reason that Biden might have made closing those specific gaps a “priority” is because vulnerable Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is up for re-election and the current political winds could make it very difficult for him to hold onto his seat.
The development comes after Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott effectively told Washington, D.C., Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser to pound sand Thursday afternoon after she complained that the border state was flooding her city with illegal aliens.
“With pledges from Texas and Arizona to continue these abhorrent operations indefinitely, the situation is dire, and we consider this a humanitarian crisis — one that could overwhelm our social support network without immediate and sustained federal intervention,” Bowser wrote in requesting help from the National Guard.
“We’ve had a number of discussions,” she said. “We’ve facilitated FEMA’s involvement with a million dollar grant that has now been increased to work with a lead nonprofit agency. We’ve facilitated using those grant funds to set up respite center in a neighboring jurisdiction and I’ve also asked the Secretary of the Army to deploy the D.C. National Guard to help lead that effort.”
Abbott responded on Twitter, writing: “D.C. is experiencing a fraction of the disastrous impact the border crisis has caused Texas.”
“Mayor Bowser should stop attacking Texas for securing the border & demand Joe Biden do his job,” Abbott added.
Bowser said in her letter that she expects the “crisis” in D.C., a term that Democrats have resisted using when talking about Biden’s border crisis, “to escalate.” “The number of people crossing the border seeking asylum, we expect to only go up, we need to make sure that there is a national response, not an ad hoc city by city, state by state response,” she continued.
Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze told the Washington Examiner that the nation’s capital, which is overwhelmingly deep blue, “finally understands what Texans have been dealing with every single day, as our communities are overrun and overwhelmed by thousands of illegal immigrants thanks to President Biden’s open border policies.”
Over the past three months, more than 150 buses have reportedly transported over 4,000 migrants to D.C. from Arizona and Texas.

The Democrats only spend taxpayer money to benefit themselves.
It makes me sick that many idiots with brainwashed-deformed libtard brains will consider this gap filling to be a real accomplishment instead of the pure near-to-elections bone they've been thrown.
Excellent 👍

They’ll probably take it back down if their guy wins. It served its purpose.
Maybe GOP Amnesty Senators should stop singing the siren song of amnesty, Cornyn, Tillis, Grahamnesty.
Be sure to re-elect Amnesty Senators Hoeven and Rubio..../s
Stable door - horse.
Of course, with the elections around the corner, we’ll see gas prices going down and tighter restrictions on immigration to let the RATS look good and dumb Americans will buy it hook, line and sinker.
Free ride sign hides gap democrats and media pleased.

Yeah, run buses from there straight to DC. That has been the best investment Texas has ever made. I wish they would keep it up. Fleets of buses full of little brown people straight to DC.
Then NYC and Philly and Chicongo...........................
And also known as "democracy". (the RAT gravy train)
Where were those in Virginia last year when the Dems got destroyed at every level, and in the congressional elections in South Texas this year, where the Dems lost for the first time in over a 100 years?
“We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
For 2020. For 2022? Nope. You cany't go and butglarizr thee same house week after week using the same technique without getting caught or more likely shot.
I believe our wins in VA and TX were in large part due to the new breed of activists who have joined The Precinct Project. November 2020 lit a fire under formerly complacent conservatives.
Now they’re mad, they’re “legion”, and not going to stand for the crap any more.
Yup.
I think President Trump did not put anywhere near enough resources in place to stop/reduce ballot fraud in 2020.
Texas doesn't use dominion voting machines.
.
That's not a donkey.
Tyrus just mentioned on The Five, instead of calling it a wall he’s calling it an aquarium.
They got a Fed court to convict Bannon. Will they go after his lieutenants next?
