O'Rourke knocks Biden's border fiasco

 DailyWire:

Far-left Texas Democrat gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke, who has previously called for tearing down existing sections of border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, slammed Democrat President Joe Biden in an interview for his handling of the border crisis that has erupted under his administration.

O’Rourke was specifically knocking the Biden administration for its decision to end the use of Title 42, an emergency health order that allows federal authorities to quickly expel illegal aliens.

“It does not make sense to end this until there is a real plan and the capacity in place to handle those and address those that come over,” O’Rourke told The Texas Tribune this week. “I have yet to hear a plan from the Biden administration to address the dynamic we will have on the border once Title 42 ends.”

“Everyone is legitimately concerned about the lack of a plan,” he added. “We should hold the federal government accountable for doing its job, and they’re not doing that.”

After criticizing the administration for ending the use of Title 42, O’Rourke then claimed that the health order was detrimental to efforts to stop illegal immigration.

“What it has done is produced a situation where the same person is crossing multiple times a week, and under Title 42 that Border Patrol agent simply turns that person back around and then that person tries to cross the next day,” he said. “They’re not arrested, not detained, there are no consequences for someone who is not following our laws when they try to come into this country, and it means that this country is not following its laws when it comes to those who are trying to make a legitimate claim for asylum.”

Jeh Johnson, Obama’s secretary of Homeland Security, warned during an interview on Sunday that President Joe Biden was going to pay a steep political price for his continued crisis on the southern border as up to 18,000 migrants could be headed to the U.S. per day if the CDC lifts Title 42.

O'Rourke knows that Biden's border policies are a real loser in Texas so he is being critical of certain aspects of it.  This is how he is trying to straddle the issue.  Biden's border policies are turning the Texas border voters red.  Democrats have lost a big percentage of the Hispanic vote and that will be a killer for Democrats in a statewide race.
