<p>Texas Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/greg-abbott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greg Abbott</a> announced this week that he has created a new position in his administration to battle President Joe Biden&#8217;s continued illegal immigration crisis on the U.S. southern border.</p>
<p>The announcement comes after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had 251,487 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-shatters-all-time-record-for-number-of-illegal-alien-encounters-on-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encounters</a> with illegal aliens last month, the highest number ever recorded in U.S. history.</p>
<p>Last month’s numbers, combined with the first two months of fiscal year 2023 — October and November — put the U.S. on track to have more than 2.87 million illegal alien encounters on the U.S. southern border this year.</p>
<p>December’s numbers mean that the Biden administration has now experienced ten straight months of 200,000+ illegal alien encounters per month on the southern border.</p>
<p>&#8220;For nearly two years, the State of Texas has taken unprecedented, historic action under Operation Lone Star in response to the Biden Administration&#8217;s refusal to secure the border,&#8221; <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-announces-new-texas-border-czar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Abbott. &#8220;To continue doing what no other state in the history of our country has done to secure the border, I hired Mike Banks as the State of Texas&#8217; first-ever Border Czar.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;As an award-winning Border Patrol Agent, with decades of federal law enforcement and border security experience, Mike is the perfect choice to oversee Texas&#8217; fight against the surge of illegal immigration, lethal drugs, and deadly weapons flowing into our state and nation,&#8221; Abbott continued. &#8220;I have no doubt that Mike&#8217;s strong record of leadership and wealth of experience will provide Texans—and Americans—the level of border security expertise they deserve from a proper Border Czar.&#8221;</p>
<p>Banks said, &#8220;Protecting our nation’s border is something I have dedicated the last 23 years of my life to, and I am very passionate about it. I look forward to strengthening our relationships with law enforcement partners and the community, leveraging all that we can to further protect our great state of Texas and the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p>The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/30/texas-names-border-czar-who-wants-to-make-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that when Banks was asked what his role was, he responded, “For me, the #1 priority is to make the State of Texas the least desirable place for illegal immigration to cross.&#8221;</p>
