The Biden administration rejected Texas’s request for emergency aid to help combat the border crisis. The rejection was against an appeal after Biden’s FEMA rejected assistance the first time. What that means is that Biden’s official atop FEMA has pretty much told Texas ‘screw you. You’re on your own’.

HotAir reported that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell sent a letter to Governor Abbott on Sunday to issue a denial of an appeal over a federal emergency declaration. This rejection denies Texas financial reimbursement from the federal government for the millions of dollars the state is spending to combat the Biden border crisis. The agency will not reconsider its original denial of issuing a federal emergency declaration.
According to HotAir, Governor Abbott asked for help from other states to send law enforcement personnel to help guard the border in June. Many states responded and sent National Guard troops and other personnel. Other governors realize that the migrants don’t all remain in border states. They will soon be the problem of all states.
The Biden administration has gone AWOL at the border, Abbott said Monday, as he detailed efforts the Lone Star State has taken to curb the hoard. He faces another estimated 60,000 migrants coming through Panama on the way to the United States.

The new crowd was able to break through a swat-style barricade made by the Mexican police Monday, and haven’t shown any signs of stopping. Reporters who were on the scene spoke to several members of the giant illegal hoard and found they all has one destination in mind- The United States.

According to Fox News, Kamala Harris has no plans to return to the U.S.-Mexico border region anytime soon. That’s what Harris told reporters Friday in New York City – but she will be jetting off to Europe next month.
Harris will travel to Paris in November to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron, deliver a speech at the annual Paris Peace Forum and attend the Paris Conference on Libya, the White House said Friday.
“I don’t have any [plans] at this moment, no,” Harris said about a possible trip to the border, according to the New York Post. The vice president last visited the border region in June, when she made a brief stop in El Paso, Texas, before flying on to her home in Los Angeles for the weekend.
