Not that anyone asked, but here he comes…
Failed candidate Beto O’Rourke wrote an op-ed for The New York Times in which he implored Biden to be on “the right side of history” in the fight against Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s floating border wall.
“It’s on Mr. Biden to stop this madness. In fact, promoting a humane immigration and asylum system is exactly what Mr. Biden promised to do when he ran for office,” he wrote, condemning Abbott’s border security measures.
Biden’s DOJ plans to sue Abbott for his floating border in the Rio Grande; O’Rourke says it’s a “good firs step.”
“Every day that Mr. Biden fails to stop Mr. Abbott leads to unnecessary, preventable suffering — and often death,” the former Texas congressman wrote.
Abbott Blasted Biden earlier this week
“Texas Has Seized More Than 422 Million Lethal Doses of Fentanyl Since 2021. More than enough to kill all Americans,” the Texas governor wrote Sunday on Twitter. “We have also made 394,200 illegal-immigrant apprehensions and 31,300 criminal arrests. All because Biden is not doing his job.”
“Mr. Biden must change course, and that begins by stopping Mr. Abbott,” O’Rourke wrote. “The president should order the immediate removal of the lethal razor wire and obstructions in the Rio Grande and ensure that Border Patrol are unimpeded by Texas Department of Public Safety officers — today,” he added.
