President biden thinks that he can ignore this humanitarian and security crisis and it will go away. But we are here today to shine a light on what is going on here at the southern border and how it is impacting all of our states, not just the state of texas. And that's why we put forward this 10 point plan that Governor Abbott kicked off for us and my colleagues, other colleagues had highlighted. I'm gonna round out a couple of more of the points that we're asking for is part of this overall plan that we know will work to help us stem this mass migration into our country. One of the things the by administration must do is end the catch and release program. This was an Obama era program that was terminated on the trump administration and restarted again under the biden administration. What this does is just incentivize people to come across the border illegally because they are then released and that is creating a crisis not only here at the border, but health hazards across our country. So if you think about what's going on here, As reports have shown 18% of the families that are coming here illegal and being released are testing positive for coronavirus covid 19 and when it comes to the unaccompanied minors, that's 20%. In fact, I think there's a report out there that shows that the biden administration may have placed up to 40,000 covid positive people into our cities here in the United States. What the by administration needs to do is stop this policy and then resource the judicial system to be able to expedite these cases. There are is a record over a million people there waiting to get their cases heard. As we heard earlier today from Brandon Judd in our briefing. This can take two years before their court case comes back up again and that's if they show back up. So the by administration must take steps to end this catch and release program and then also the biden administration must properly resource this border. That means they need to resource more for customs and border Patrol and the National Guard. Now look folks, this is not new for previous administrations have deployed National Guard troops to the border to be able to help out with this crisis down here. The bite administration needs to call it more soldiers to be able to do that. They can do that under title 10 so that the states don't bear the cost
