Texas is constantly showing the nation how they are not going to be oppressed by this administration. When Biden took office he shut down the Trump wall and created the border crisis. He ruined what was the best border security we had in at least a decade. So Texas is standing up to Biden and is finishing what Trump started, at least in Texas. Gov Abbott is working to finish building the border wall in Texas.
“Three billion dollars of Texas taxpayer money has been devoted to this cause of Texas securing the border, and so we have a lot of money available to us to continue to build the wall. And Stuart, I’ll add this, for Texas [this] is going to cost less than it did for the Trump administration for one reason. And that’s because in Texas, unlike the Trump administration, we’re not having to devote money to acquire the land …The state of Texas owns [land] on the border itself.
Secondly, there are property owners of massive acreage on the border who are fed up with Biden’s open border policies, and they are donating their land to Texas for us to be able to use that land for free to build a wall on their property.”

Six months ago, I directed the Texas Facilities Commission to begin building our own border wall.
Tomorrow, I will be in Rio Grande City to debut its construction.

“On Thursday, Lt. Col. Dan Garrison of the Texas Military Department, who is an engineer in charge of the fence-building that is part of Operation Lone Star, updated with news that private landholders have committed to allowing fencing to be built on a total of 62.75 miles in five border counties. Those counties are Val Verde, Maverick, Starr, Zapata, and Webb. Garrison said, “There’s a big safety aspect in building this barrier. The intent is to stop that crossing in places where people could potentially get hurt.” Over the course of the last two weeks, two miles of temporary fencing has been put up in rural Starr County east of Rio Grande City.”
Texas shouldn’t have to foot this bill, but thankfully they are since our president has shown us time and time again that he is more concerned about the welfare of illegals than Americans.
