1:01Now PlayingTexas Gov. Greg Abbott defiantly vowed Sunday to expand the controversial razor wire fencing his state erected along the border, days after the US Supreme Court ruled the Biden administration could rip it down.
Joined by 13 other Republican governors who offered resources and troops for the effort, Abbott claimed the fencing and aquatic barriers along the US-Mexico border has helped eliminate nearly all illegal crossings at Shelby Park in beleaguered Eagle Pass, Texas, with the Lone Star State looking to repeat the results elsewhere.
“The Texas National Guard is undertaking operations to expand this effort. We’re not going to contain ourselves just to this park,” Abbott said. “We are expanding to further areas to make sure that we expand our level of deterrence and denial of illegal entry into the United States.”
Abbott touted that his state has installed more than 100 miles of razor wire fencing along the border, which he said should be protected despite a recent US Supreme Court ruling permitting the federal government to remove the barrier.
The Texas governor claimed the fencing was the key to solving the migrant crisis in Eagle Pass, which was once inundated with illegal migrants.
