Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) blasted President Joe Biden in an interview on Sunday for his failure to secure the southern border and the consequences that his policies bring to the detriment of the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about President Biden\u2019s trip to El Paso, Texas to see the border Sunday, Paxton said that Biden should see the impact of his policies by witnessing the \u201cpain and suffering\u201d that has been caused by the open border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been \u201ctwo years [and he hasn\u2019t] had the time or interest to go to the border, I would hate for anything to be sanitized,\u201d Paxton began. \u201cHe needs to see the reality of his decision-making and how it\u2019s negatively affecting communities in every way that it\u2019s affecting it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Biden did go to the border, it unfortunately was sanitized throughout his visit. The city of El Paso reportedly cleared away street corners and sidewalks of migrants who have been sleeping on the streets for months to shield the president from such \u201csuffering,\u201d as reported by the\u00a0New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd we know, the numbers tell us, the people tell us, the stories tell us, it\u2019s a bad door and he needs to hear it. If he doesn\u2019t care, that\u2019s certainly, you know up to him,\u201d the Texan continued. \u201cHe can decide not to care but he should at least be presented with as much of the truth as possible. I hope they see the pain and suffering that they\u2019ve caused directly and indirectly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope that they care. Do I have a lot of hope for that? Not really because I haven\u2019t seen any actions on their part from trying to prevent all of this bad stuff from happening,\u201d he explained. \u201cFrom day one they have been very clear: You can come here, as many people as you want. We don\u2019t care what your background is, we don\u2019t care if your criminal. You come here we are going to protect you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t care if you are going to become immediately dependent on our government to take care of your needs. We don\u2019t care if you have a criminal background,\u201d the Texas AG explained, adding,\u201d we are going to let you in. We want you here. We\u2019re inviting you. And that has been extremely frustrating to the people of my state and to people that have been impacted by the policies and lawlessness of the Biden administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about whether or not Biden\u2019s new border plan to expand Title 42 and allow 30,000 migrants in a month from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Haiti, the Texas AG attacked Biden for going against the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate for him that he doesn\u2019t have all the powers of a king or a dictator,\u201d Paxton began. \u201cAnd in this case, this is what it looks like. He\u2019s just making this up as his own law, his own rules. He doesn\u2019t run through Congress. He doesn\u2019t run it through anybody. It\u2019s his own deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo I have a problem with the concepts here. We are a constitutional republic, at least we used to be,\u201d he emphasized. \u201cAnd we\u2019re not Venezuela or Russia or China, but that\u2019s the mode of this type of idea\u2026He\u2019s just not following any constitutional rules that we have lived by for over 200 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interview ended with a focus on whether or not the Biden administration would face legal hurdles as they implement immigration policy. Paxton emphasized that if Biden fails to consult Congress in doing so, then he would undoubtedly hold the executive branch accountable for their Constitutional overreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf he is doing this on his own without any type of statutory authority we are going to call a spade a spade,\u201d Paxton said in the interview<\/a> with Fox News. \u201cSay hey, Mr. President, just a reminder you\u2019re are a president. You are not a dictator, you are not a king. You have to follow the rules and laws just like everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Biden continually oversteps his authority to push through executive action by fiat. He is purposefully ignoring the Constitution for the sake of his political agenda and Americans are suffering because of it. The presidency is surely not a dictatorship and Biden needs to stop treating it like one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
