ABC News host Martha Raddatz falsely claimed during a segment that aired on
Sunday that President Joe Biden never encouraged migrants to come to the U.S.
in recent years as she appeared to pin the border crisis on Republicans.
Raddatz made the remarks during an interview on "This Week" with Texas GOP
Governor Greg Abbott while she toured the U.S.-Mexico border.
"You talk about the border wall, you talk about open borders, I don't think
I've ever heard President Biden say, 'we have an open border, come on over,'"
she claimed. "But people I have heard say it are you, are former president
Trump, are Ron DeSantis, that message reverberates in Mexico and beyond. So
they do get the message that it's an open border and smugglers use all those
kind of statements."
While on the presidential campaign trail in 2019, Biden told migrants "you
should come" to the U.S.
Abbott responded, "It was known from the time that Joe Biden got elected that
Joe Biden supported open borders. It is known by the cartels who have
sophisticated information whether or not the Biden administration is going to
enforce the immigration laws or not is known across the world but most
importantly, known among the cartels."
MARTHA RADDATZ, HOST: We joined Governor Greg Abbott of Texas as he
surveyed the border this week. One of the Republican governors
fighting to keep Title 42 in place, that Trump policy implemented at
the start of the COVID-19 pandemic which allows the U.S. Government
to immediately expel most migrants as a public health risk. Since
March of 2020, it's been used nearly 2.5 million times.
RADDATZ (on camera): What do you think happens next week when Title
42 comes to an end?
GREG ABBOTT, TEXAS GOVERNOR (R): If the courts don't intervene and
put a halt of removal to the Title 42 it's going to be total chaos.
RADDATZ: But how do you -- how do you keep that in place? That is
about COVID, that is about public health risk.
ABBOTT: Whether it's COVID or some other issue, when you have people
coming across the globe without knowing at all what their health
status is, that almost by definition is a public health risk. There's
every reason to keep that in place.
RADDATZ: You're talking about the flu, you're talking about RSV. In
fact, you've seen that people coming across, they were saying maybe
one person a day with COVID. So how does a judge look at that and go,
oh, it's still a public health risk?
ABBOTT: But some do come across with COVID and no one knows exactly
who comes across with COVID. These people are not tested when they
come across the border and so who knows how many people have COVID,
who knows what other type of disease they may have. The answer is
nobody knows because nobody is testing them.
...
RADDATZ: You have used your taxpayer dollars here in Texas to bus
migrants out of here. You know people have looked at that and said
that's just a political ploy to bring attention on the backs of
these migrants and some families and some very young children.
ABBOTT: The real reason behind it is because communities like Del
Rio and Eagle Pass and others, they are having thousands of people
dumped off into their communities, thousands of migrants, dumped off
in their communities. They don't have the capability of dealing with
that vast number of migrants and I removed them to locations that
self-identified as sanctuary cities that have the capability and the
desire to help out these migrants and so that's exactly what's taken
place.
RADDATZ: You talk about the border wall, you talk about open borders,
I don't think I've ever heard President Biden say, we have an open
border, come on over. But people I have heard say it are you, are
former president Trump, Ron DeSantis, that message reverberates in
Mexico and beyond. So they do get the message that it's an open
border and smugglers use all those kind of statements.
ABBOTT: It was known from the time that Joe Biden got elected that
Joe Biden supported open borders. It is known by the cartels who have
sophisticated information whether or not the Biden administration is
going to enforce the immigration laws or not is known across the
world but most importantly, known among the cartels.
RADDATZ: And how do you play into that? What can you do better?
ABBOTT: So we have every level of government doing everything we can
to prevent people from coming into the country illegally or repelling
them or arresting them and putting them behind bars.

do, it's your fault if illegals hear that and decide to flood the country
while they can.
Neat trick, Martha, if you can find someone stupid enough to fall for it.
