President Joe Biden “is destroying the US”, while “Texas is trying to save it” because it applies strict legislation against illegal immigrants, the state’s governor, Greg Abbott, said this Thursday on his X account (previously Twitter).
“Not only does the Biden administration refuse to enforce current US immigration laws, but they now want to prevent Texas from enforcing laws against illegal immigration,” Abbott noted. “I have never seen such hostility toward the rule of law in the United States,” he added.
In this way, the governor commented on the statements of the US Department of Justice that they will file a lawsuit against state authorities if they apply legislation that allows them to detain, imprison and expel immigrants suspected of entering the country illegally. known as ‘SB4’. According to the letter, Texas must assure Washington until January 3 that it will refrain from applying said legislation.
According to Brian Boynton, principal deputy attorney general of the United States, “SB4 is unconstitutional and will disrupt the operations of the federal government,” in particular, undermine relations with Mexico and impede the enforcement of federal laws designed to provide refuge to persecuted immigrants.
Meanwhile, Renae Eze, Abbott’s spokesperson, said Texas officials are preparing to defend SB4 before the US Supreme Court.
Previously, New York Mayor Eric Adams announced restrictive measures to reduce the flow of asylum-seeking immigrants arriving in the city on charter buses from Texas, accusing Abbott of “cruel and inhumane policies” toward them. With RT
