Eagle Pass, TX Mayor Rolando Salinas said Thursday as his city was invaded by 7,200 more illegal aliens in just the last two days that he “will be honest with you. I believe 100% he (Joe Biden) does bear some responsibility for this crisis.”

Biden Ignores While Texas Gov. Abbott Helpful

Sources on the southern border and in Austin informed CleverJourneys on Friday that “over 16,000 more are waiting in the wings less than 200 miles from the border” making their way to the El Paso-Eagle Pass sector.

“One of the situations is that a lot of these, they’re single males, and they don’t want to listen to instructions, and they’re leaving the facility,” the mayor said. “Not all of these people come in peace.”

In July 2023, Eagle Pass averaged 817 aliens daily. Today, the counts are between 2500-3600 every 24-hour period, and growing uncontrollably.

Salinas signed a disaster declaration for the city of about 30,000 on Wednesday evening. In response, the Department of Defense sent more active duty troops to Eagle Pass to assist, but only with the processing of the illegal aliens.

Meanwhile,  Salinas says, “I haven’t heard from anybody in the administration. The president hasn’t put out a statement, the vice president, I haven’t heard from anybody.”

Although Salinas thinks that agencies like the Border Patrol are controlling the situation along the border the best that they can, his city is “abandoned” by Biden.

Salinas stated that state officials, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) “have been helpful to Eagle Pass by sending in additional help.”

“Fortunately, we have the help of our state partners, DPS, the governor, our federal agencies, Border Patrol,” Salinas noted. “They’re helping, and they’re controlling the situation as best as they can.”

“It’s a shame that we don’t have immigration reform and a solution to prevent situations like this,” he said. “I don’t know why things have come to this.”

Finally, on Friday, a CBP spokesperson issued a statement Friday noting “CBP is executing our operational plans and working to decompress areas along the southwest border. We are safely and efficiently vetting and processing migrants to place them in immigration enforcement proceedings consistent with our laws and operational planning efforts.”

“Those without a legal basis to stay will be processed for removal and face consequences that include a minimum five-year bar on re-entry, loss of eligibility to access lawful pathways, and prosecution for repeat offenders.”

“This sounds good, but we all know that doesn’t mean crap,” an El Paso officer told us Friday night.

“I haven’t heard from anybody in the administration. The President hasn’t put out a statement, the vice president, I haven’t heard from anybody,” Mayor Salinas informed. “Nobody has bothered to call me, anyone in the city staff saying, hey, this is the federal government, we know what you’re going through, we’re worried about you, this is our plan of action, nothing. We’re here abandoned. We’re on the border. We’re asking for help. This is unacceptable.”

“Out of all the border, this area is one of the safest,” the mayor explained. “When you compare it to Brownsville, to Laredo, to El Paso — the cartel activities in those cities — you could see it more over there, not as much over here in this area. So because it’s so safe, the word gets out, and that’s why you have so many people crossing through Eagle Pass.”

“I’ve reached out to our representatives. I’ve been in touch with our Congressman, Tony Gonzales (R-TX), he’s done very good things for Eagle Pass. I’ve been in touch with the state, with DPS, the governor’s office, they have been helpful to Eagle Pass by sending in additional help.”

Our Austin sources tell us that most of the illegal aliens are dropped off by train in Mexico just south of Eagle Pass.

“Ferromex, the biggest railroad operator in northern Mexico has experienced problems with so many killed in accidents and fights enroute towards  Texas but that hasnt slowed things down, the source said.

“A couple of years ago, on what was pathways through the jungles of the Darién Pass, now they (immigrants) use all kinds of transportation on actual roads,” the source explained.

“Many arrive from South America–Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador. Some come from China, the Middle East and Africa and stay at two large camps, thanks to Alejandro Mayorkas (Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary) and the American taxpayers,” the source continued. Along the routes are coyotes (smugglers) and an economy for protectors, cartel members, ganglords, businessmen, policia, bus companies and food providers.”

“By the time they hit Texas dirt, many have phones, new clothes, and provisions. Soon, they are set up with NGOs (Non Government Organizations) to facilitate a place to stay like hotels, converted Wal-Marts, B&Bs until more NGOs arrange their steady incomes, travel arrangements by bus, planes, or other vehicles  to their destinations through the United States.”
