Gov. Greg Abbott says Texas will build a border wall

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday that Texas will build a border wall along the state’s boundary with Mexico — but provided no details on where or when.

Abbott declared his plans during a press conference in Del Rio. He said he would discuss the plans next week. The Biden administration issued a proclamation that stopped border wall construction on his first day of office.

Abbott announced the news while discussing a slew of border initiatives, such as a $1 billion allocation for border security in the state budget lawmakers just passed and a plan to establish a Governor’s Task Force on Border and Homeland Security with public safety and state government officials.

We should just set up a few landmines along it. A couple groups getting blown up and it would stop

If Texas can figure out a way to put a border wall around the entire state then I’m in.

The media might suddenly care about the border then.

Has AOC commented on this yet and called Abbott an oppressive racist?

If Biden would enforce the border, Texas would not need to use eminent domain.

As the property owners on the border if they are willing to cooperate without eminent domain. You will find overwhelming support for a wall from people tired of dealing with potentially dangerous situations on their property.

Remember when you cried at the cost of the wall but were silent on what your Hero spent to put it on pause

There are still eminent domain cases being litigated that date back to the W Bush administration. Or there were as recently as a few years ago. There are dozens currently being litigated from the Trump administration. But yeah, it's all Biden's fault.

Also, we're approaching border apprehension numbers equal to May 2019, the highest month of apprehensions. But tell me more about Biden not enforcing border security. And this chart is only through February of this year, so it's possible we've eclipsed the May 2019 numbers.

What % of those who tried crossing were caught? I’m assuming you have those estimates as well?

Why does that matter when the claim was Biden wasn't enforcing border security? The chart clearly shows his administration is enforcing it.

You have issues with fractions don’t you



If I invite 20 people to a party across the country and 10 people get stuck at airport security vs i invite 2000 people to it and 15 get stuck in security.


Hell Guatemala called Biden and Harris out on their rhetoric

Could apprehensions be up because a helluva a lot more people are crossing??? Is this possible?
