Governor Abbott Statement On Federal Judge Overturning Biden Administration Catch And Release Policies

Governor Greg Abbott today issued a statement following a U.S. federal judge's ruling that the Biden Administration has violated federal law by releasing illegal immigrants en masse at our southern border.Governor Greg Abbott today issued a statement following a U.S. federal judge's ruling that the Biden Administration has violated federal law by releasing illegal immigrants en masse at our southern border:

"Yesterday, another federal court announced what Texans--and Americans--have known all along: President Biden's open border policies are, in the words of Judge Wetherell, 'akin to posting a flashing Come In We're Open sign on the southern border.' President Biden's catch-and-release agenda, which violates his constitutional duty to enforce federal immigration laws, has catalyzed an unprecedented crisis of illegal immigration at our southern border and throughout our nation. In 2023 alone, this surge of illegal immigration will saddle Texas taxpayers with an estimated financial burden of $13.3 billion.

The Biden Administration's lawlessness is putting all Americans in imminent danger. President Biden must start enforcing the immigration laws that are already on the books. That means aggressively prosecuting illegal crossings between ports of entry, and locking up those illegal immigrants who 'shall' be detained according to Congress itself. While the State of Texas continues stepping up to secure the border in the federal government's absence, this ruling is a major win in our fight to combat the record-breaking levels of illegal immigration caused by the President's sustained dereliction of duty."

According to a recent report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the fiscal burden of illegal immigration on Texas taxpayers in 2023 will be over $13.3 billion and over $4,400 per Texas taxpayer. ...

Governor Abbott Highlights Rural Support For School Choice In Tyler

Governor Greg Abbott last night highlighted rural support for parental rights and school choice at a Parent Empowerment Night at Grace Community School in Tyler. Governor Greg Abbott last night highlighted rural support for parental rights and school choice at a Parent Empowerment Night at Grace Community School in Tyler. Addressing over 500 local parents, teachers, and students in a packed gymnasium, the Governor pledged to empower Texas parents with the right to choose the best education opportunities for their child's needs.

"After my accident that left me paralyzed, I made the decision to not let my life be defined by the enormous challenge that I faced," said Governor Abbott. "Instead, I would determine my future by the way that I responded to this new challenge. This principle applies to all of us. Our lives are not defined by how we are challenged, but rather, how we respond to that challenge. We are here in Tyler tonight facing a much greater challenge to make sure our students are educated in the best way possible. We, as a people of Texas, commit to doing everything we can to respond to the lack of parental rights in our children's education. If each of us refuses to be defined by the challenge, but instead how we respond to that challenge, we will be part of the generation that ensures Texas children will be the best educated students in the nation."

At the event, the Governor touted the widespread support for school choice in rural, urban, and suburban communities across the state and voiced his support for the expansion of state-funded Education Savings Accounts to every Texas parent and student. Additionally, Governor Abbott emphasized the importance of transparency and accessibility of what is taught in Texas classrooms so that every parent can make informed decisions regarding their child's education.

The Governor was joined by Representative Matt Schaefer, Texas Public Policy Foundation Campaign Director Mandy Drogin, Head of Grace Community School Jay Ferguson, and other parent empowerment advocates. Hosted by the Parent Empowerment Coalition, Parent Empowerment Night brings together education leaders and stakeholders to discuss education reform and the growing need for parental empowerment in their children's education.
