Texas now building razor-wire fence along border with NEW Mexico
· Sep 20, 2024 · NottheBee.com

Don't ever let anyone say that Texas takes a half-measure on anything at all:

In an effort to prevent migrant crossings from the southern border, Texas installed a razor wire along its border with New Mexico, not Mexico — upsetting the southwestern state's governor.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on September 14 that his state would be 'TRIPLING our razor wire border barriers to deny illegal entry into our state and our country.' However, rather than installing the razor wire along the Rio Grande river bank that faces Mexico, KTSM on Tuesday captured footage of Texas Army National Guard troops installing it along a bank that faces New Mexico.

It's true, the Texas National Guard is busy putting up a big old border along the New Mexico line:

If you remember, Texas did this last year, as well. I guess the problem hasn't been solved since then!

The state isn't shy about why it's building the wall, meanwhile:

Texas has been so successful in securing our southern border, migrants are now illegally crossing into New Mexico, and then into Texas. ... Texas will continue utilizing every tool and strategy to respond to the border crisis and protect Texans.

I'd say they're doing just that!
