According to a Fox News report, Biden campaign co-chair Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) is publically admitting that the ongoing border crisis may cost Joe Biden the 2024 election.
“It is our job,” Escobar said, referring to Congress. “We have failed over and over again.”
“I do worry that Democrats will get blamed simply because the president is in the White House,” she added. When pressed about whether she fears Biden will face political consequences for the crisis, she responded, “I hope not, but I’m afraid of that.”
From Fox News:
Escobar’s comments come just after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation allowing state law enforcement to arrest migrants who cross the border illegally.
At the signing ceremony, Abbott said the goal of Senate Bill 4 was to “stop the tidal wave of illegal entry into Texas.”
Once in custody, migrants could either agree to a Texas judge’s order to leave the U.S. or be prosecuted on misdemeanor charges of illegal entry. Migrants who do not comply could face arrest again under more serious felony charges.
