White House fires back at GOP over call to fund Texas border security efforts: 'Focused on real solutions'
Former U.S. Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott joins 'Fox News Live' to discuss why migrants are flocking to and crossing the U.S. southern border in record numbers.The White House is firing back at a call by Texas Republican lawmakers to reimburse the state for border efforts in the state, pointing to efforts by the Biden administration to secure money from Congress that have met with Republican opposition.
Republicans have blamed the crisis on the Biden administration’s rollback of Trump-era border policies. The Biden administration, in turn, has blamed Republicans for not funding border measures and for not passing a massive immigration reform bill introduced on Day One of the administration.
The lawmakers urged Biden to"work with the Texas Delegation to pay Texas back for the resources expended through Operation Lone Star" and to work with the delegation to stop the migrant flow across the border. They also request a meeting"to discuss the border crisis and the solutions proposed by Members of the Texas Delegation to put an end to this crisis."
"And his work to secure record levels of funding for border security and management are allowing us to catch record levels of fentanyl before it even crosses our border, support the 23,000 agents and officers dedicated to securing our border, and hire hundreds of new border agents for the first time in years," the official said.
