    Texas Takes Historic Action Against Biden's Border Refusal: Operation Lone Star Seizes 453 Million Doses of Fentanyl

    Broke On: Saturday, 13 January 2024 The Biden Administration's refusal to secure the border has led to an increase in illegal immigration into Texas and other communities across the nation. The state is taking action through Operation Lone Star, a historic response that includes law enforcement seizing over 453 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this mission. Governor Abbott issued a statement following New York City Mayor Eric Adams' lawsuit against bus companies participating in Texas' migrant transportation mission. The only climate change is the Biden Administration's refusal to enforce federal immigration law, and there is no open border crisis if President Biden enforces laws passed by Congress.
