The mayor of Eagle Pass, Texas, blamed President Biden for the border crisis and said he has had no communication from the White House as thousands of migrants have poured into his small city.
Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas told CNN's "OutFront" Thursday that he declared a state of emergency in his city of 30,000 people after 5,000 migrants crossed over the border into the city from Piedras Negras, Mexico. Salinas said Biden has "abandoned" border communities and complained that no one from the White House has reached out amid the crisis.
"I believe 100 percent [Biden] does, he bears some responsibility for this crisis. I haven't heard from anybody in the administration. The president hasn't put out a statement, the vice president, I haven't heard from anybody," Salinas said.
