Texas has continued to defy President Joe Biden on the border issue and is offering cash for Texas Military Department members to man the border.
The Lone Star State is seeking "to deploy border security assets to high threat areas to deny criminal organizations the ability to illegally move drugs and people into Texas," according to TMD's website.
This comes amid ongoing tensions between Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration over the border with Mexico. On Monday, the Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration and held that federal Border Patrol agents were authorized to remove the razor wire installed under Abbott's orders near the border city of Eagle Pass.
Volunteers will work with the Texas Military Department full-time for up to $55 per day, according to the agency's website.
The volunteers must already be members of the TMD in an initiative that is part of Abbott's Operation Lone Star to combat the rise in illegal immigration.
The call for more volunteers is part of a showdown between the state and the Biden administration over the issue of the border.
The Biden administration has argued the wire, installed as part of Operation Lone Star, restricts Border Patrol agents from accessing parts of the border. Abbott, meanwhile, has slammed "Biden's reckless open-border policies," and tweeted after the Supreme Court's decision that the wire is an "effective deterrent against the illegal border crossings."
In apparent defiance of the court's decision, he said: "We continue to deploy this razor wire to repel illegal immigration."

Great point. Biden is the biggest human trafficker of all, isn’t he? It’s despicable.
Recall when Trump ordered DNA test of captured illegals? DHS found 30% of minors were not related to their traveling “guardian”! There’s all the proof you need right there. Biden immediately stopped the DNA testing.
I’m seeing “human trafficking” posters all over North Idaho now. These weren’t posted just a few months ago. The only place I saw them before was in gas station restrooms on I-5 in Oregon.
Good. Deploy some of them as snipers. Aim for the Coyotes.
