Karine Jean-Pierre appears to blame Greg Abbott putting up razor wire on the Texas border for moment hundreds of migrants ran through razor wire and overwhelmed border guards

The White House said Friday it was clear who was responsible for the shocking scenes at the Texas border when dozens of migrants broke through razor wire and toppled guards: Gov. Greg Abbott.

‘He’s the one who built the barbed wire. That’s him,” said press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

“The National Guard… that’s it.”

A surge in the number of people crossing the border from Mexico has put intense pressure on the White House.

On Thursday, video from the border city of El Paso showed more than 100 migrants forcing their way through defenses and pushing past Texas Nation Guard troops.

It led to a new series of attacks on the Biden administration for its failure to tackle the problem.

Not so fast, Jean-Pierre said, when questioned about the video during her daily briefing.

That was a question for Abbott, who ordered the hacked fortifications, and for other Republicans who, at Donald Trump’s behest, blocked a security bill that would have sent more money to the border and who continued to politicize the issue, she said .

“And you have a governor in Texas, Governor Abbott, who continues to unfortunately make this a dangerous situation and a chaotic situation,” he said.

‘Let’s not forget who they pass. (They) pass the razor wire, they pass the Texas National Guards that the Republican governor has placed at the border.”

The video was shot by the New York Post and shows Texas’ barbed wire defenses built outside formal border barriers.

At that point, the arrivals are already on U.S. soil, but cannot get close enough to the Border Patrol to request asylum.

A group of men wearing hoods and gloves pulled down the fencing and then charged through the rings of barbed wire as five guards tried to fill the breach.

Armed with rifles, the Guardsmen initially held their ground and pushed back toward the crowd. But they were no match for the hundred or so men, who quickly pushed their way through, overthrowing the troops in the process.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday it was clear who was responsible for shocking scenes at the Texas border when dozens of migrants broke through razor wire, knocking over guards:

They then go to the border post to apply for asylum.

Reports later suggested some were sent back to Mexico and some were processed.

Border Patrol Agent Orlando Marrero told the local Fox news channel, “The migrants we encountered here today at Gate 36 will be taken to a processing center.”

Border Patrol has seen record numbers of encounters at the border over the past three years: more than two million per budget year.

Texas has become the focal point of Republican efforts to take action and confront the Biden administration.

The state has tried to pass a law that would direct local enforcement agencies, such as sheriffs, to arrest and deport people who enter illegally. Such powers are usually reserved for the federal government.

Texas’ efforts have been put on hold after a flurry of legal activity. The Supreme Court let Senate Bill 4 take effect Tuesday, but sent it back to an appeals court for review.

House later, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals put the law back on hold.

Abbott has repeatedly said his state faces pressing problems that require action.
