ABBOTT LEADS AT BORDER WHILE BETO STICKS HIS HEAD IN THE SAND
“While Governor Abbott is leading on border security and drawing praise from border Democrats, Beto O’Rourke continues to deny there’s a ‘problem’ at the border. Beto’s lack of acknowledgment that a border crisis exists should disqualify him from running for Governor.” – Mark Miner, Communications Director
O’Rourke Wants To End Title 42 Because There Is Not A “Problem” At The Border:
O’Rourke Says He Believed Deploying The National Guard To The Border Was A “Solution In Search Of A Problem.” O’ROURKE: “There are (national) guard members from Texas A&M who are on the border right now in Zapata, in Webb, in Hidalgo Counties to go be part of a solution in search of a problem.” (Beto O’Rourke, Remarks, College Station, TX, 3/8/22)

Yet Border Democrats Are Not Only Acknowledging There’s A Problem At The Border, They’re Praising The Steps Gov. Abbott Has Taken:
Democrat Val Verde County Sheriff Joe Martinez: “If their duty is to, you know, sit on at a post and make sure that nobody comes across and if somebody comes across, call Border Patrol, you know, so be it, I think it’s needed.” (Priscilla Alvarez, “Texas National Guardsmen Say Their Mission To Secure The Border Is A Waste Of Time And Resources,” CNN, 2/10/22)
Democrat Kenedy County Judge Charles Burns On Operation Lone Star’s National Guard Deployment: “Since they’ve been there, the number of bailouts and the number of intrusions into private property and going through gates and fences has decreased. I think their presence has been very beneficial to the county.” (James Barragán, “National Guard Troops Were Dispatched To Famous Texas Ranches With Private Security As Part Of Border Mission,” Texas Tribune, 3/16/22)
Democrat Kenedy County Sheriff Ramon Salinas On Operation Lone Star’s National Guard Deployment: “We needed it.

Democrat Jim Hogg County Judge Juan Carlos Guerra Praising Operation Lone Star: “Well, we saw an influx of non-citizens coming into the community. So, we had bailouts during the day, we had limited law enforcement, border patrol was limited, so I went ahead requested additional help in speaking with our county sheriff from the State of Texas.” (KGNS-TV, 4/4/22)
