Texas begins building its own border wall to curb surge in illegal immigration By Ryan Foley, Christian Post Reporter
GNN Note – I don’t agree with everything Governor Abbott is doing in Texas, but I certainly agree, 100%, with this project. And, it sends a message to the Biden regime that the states are in charge, not the federal government. Stop the invasion. / END
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that the state has begun construction on a border wall, which it’s working to build to counter what it views as the Biden administration’s lackluster enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.
“Texas has officially started building its own border wall,” Abbott announced in a tweet Friday. “[President Joe] Biden allows open border policies and refuses to enforce laws passed by Congress to secure the border and enforce immigration laws. Texas is stepping up to do the federal government’s job.”

Abbott also shared a series of photos originally posted by Fox News reporter Bill Meluginshowing the construction. “Texas has officially started building its own border wall,” he said. “The first wall panels have gone up in Starr County in the [Rio Grande Valley].”
Melugin noted that while the construction is occurring on state land with state money, the contractor building the wall was building the wall spearheaded by the Trump administration until Biden stopped construction of the wall when he took office. The Fox News reporter included a picture of “the first panels in what will be a 1.7 mile stretch designed to help fill gaps where there is no federal wall.”
