The Biden administration's approach to border security is enabling drug cartels to expand their influence in border regions, Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton warned Monday.
Speaking on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show, Paxton remarked on the recent deaths of a five family members in Cleveland, Texas, at the hands of an alleged assailant who has reportedly been deported four times.
"Well, look, I think what happened with those five people, you're gonna see a lot more of that," he warned. "[T]he Biden administration has not just allowed the cartels to expand, but they've actually encouraged them. They've aided and abetted them; they move people around for them, and the cartels are making billions every month.
"That means they're going to expand their network even more, because the more people they can bring in, they make money off of each person," he went on. "And then also, as you know, the border is wide open for drugs. And so the cartels are not going to give that up easily. They're going to want to continue this and grow it. And the Biden administration is doing everything in their power to help them do it."
