EXCLUSIVE: Texas to Build Its Own Border Barriers, Says Governor
Breitbart ^ | 06/10/2021 | Bob Price

Posted on 06/10/2021 4:54:41 PM PDT by DFG

Texas Governor Greg Abbott told Breitbart Texas the State will immediately begin building border barriers in areas where migrants can easily cross the Rio Grande border with Mexico. The barriers will, in part, enable state law enforcement to arrest migrants for violations of state law.

“The influx across the border is out of control, and the Biden Administration has shown that is not going to step up and do its job,” Governor Abbott told Breitbart Texas shortly before Thursday’s border summit in Del Rio, Texas. “And amidst reports of even more people coming in across the border, we know we have to step up and do more.”

Abbott said Texas will immediately begin construction of border barriers in areas like Del Rio where migrants can easily cross unsecured sections of the border with Mexico. The governor picked Del Rio for the Border Summit due to the massive increases in illegal border crossings in this region. Del Rio Sector agents apprehended 27,890 migrants — a 1,118 percent increase over the May 2020 report of 2,289, Breitbart Texas reported on Thursday.

I assure you that there are enough of us here in Texas that he would only have to make a phone call and we could deliver more than a local militia in a days time.

I got a group call about this last night. The governor means business.

Don’t get the impression that we would criticize you for helping. That would always be welcome.

Those at the Alamo came from all over. Same with San Jacinto. There were Tejanos and Anglos at both battles.

We are not just dealing with the Texas border here - it is the border of the UNITED States of America. That’s what scares the shiite out of the libs.

Good. I hope it scares them to death.

They have no idea what they are playing with.
