Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Friday that the construction of the state’s border wall has begun.
“Texas has officially started building its own border wall,” Abbott tweeted.
“Biden allows open border policies and refuses to enforce laws passed by Congress to secure the border and enforce immigration laws,” The governor added. “Texas is stepping up to do the federal government’s job.”
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin posted pictures of the first panels on Friday.
“Texas has officially started building its own border wall. The first wall panels have gone up in Starr County in the RGV. State land, state money. This particular contractor was building Trump’s wall until Biden cancelled them. Now they build for @GregAbbott_TX,” Melugin tweeted.

The only thing Abbott understands is politics.
There is still time to festoon it with some holiday cheer before Christmas.
Perhaps a few glistening rolls of concertina garland!
That Trump Wall looks great...and, familiar.
Are you in TX, BB?
Thank you Gov Abbott. No need for it since they are all over here thanks to your worthless reaction! Only reason you’re doing anything now is Beto’s poll numbers are looking better than yours. Worthless!
It would be nice to spite the Grinch, excuse me, Biden and the Democrats.
When the Christmas Spirit is in short supply, the term, Grinch ye shall apply.
Firing folks just before Christmas; Grinch!
Letting the Fence Jumpers in who have Covid; Grinch!
Stopping the pipeline in the US; Granch!
Approving Pipeline in Russia/Europe; Grinch!
Trying to make illegal voting permanent; Grinch!
And the Grinchette, Pelosi and the Grinchy, Schumer spend all they can on the border hoppers, or did you think that giant spigot was not full blast! Bloat, Bloat, Bloat.
The petty, spiteful Leftists in the Biden Administration refused to sell unused wall panels that were already stacked at the site when construction was halted

Spiteful is right, not to mention wasting even more of the tax payer dollar. Anyway, the old steel is likely rusty so it wouldn’t be as pretty when finished.
They could run a temporary barbed wire wall like the one between Libya and Egypt in the 1930

This isn’t the 1930s for one. and those fences are easily defeated.
Barbed wire fence is what they are replacing, and those fences don’t work unless backed up with claymores and remotely operated machine guns ...

or a few low to the ground rectangular boxes with “Front Toward Enemy” M18A1 stamped on the plate, painted red and green to give that cheery festive look invaders so love.
Where’s Irish Bob? LOL, he sees his chances of winning next year diminishing with every mile of fence built.
He’s had six years to start. He’s only begun now because we’re getting tired of him. Guess this will be a slow build.
Hooray for Texas!!
Too little too late. Hes a career politician playing both sides. How many thousands of illegals would have been denied entry if he had done something day 1 of taking office. He hopes this will get him re-elected. The coyotes laugh at these feeble attempts to stop the influx. And the taxpayers foot the bill. Declare war. Use modern technology. Its a foreign invasion for crying out loud.
“Despite it all, Border Wall Construction has now resumed, with about a billion dollars in this year’s Texas budget for new Border Wall.”
Thank you Elon Musk.
THIS ! ! ⬆️
I can help. Will bring my own ammo !
Looking GREAT, good for Gov. Abbott.
:)
The fed. gov. is probably saving those panels for closing US in…..

“Abbott understands fundamentals like protecting borders, the concept of nations, controlling borders, controlling your visitors and immigration laws, the constitution...”
He’s posturing. He’s been talking about the issue for 7 years and then decides to take action at 2 minutes to midnight.
Just do a smash and grab. Have the rusting panels disappear in the middle of the night, and then use them.
