Months ago, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that if Biden wouldn’t protect the border, then Texas would build its own border wall.
Now they have started it.
Someone has to protect the border and Biden certainly won’t.
The Daily Wire reports:
It’s Official: Texas Border Wall Construction Begins
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.

These are the first panels in what will be a 1.7 mile stretch designed to help fill gaps where there is no federal wall. More projects planned.
Governor Abbott will be at the construction site tomorrow to hold 12pm ET announcement/details. @FoxNews will air it live. pic.twitter.com/gG5yggbDcp— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) December 17, 2021
The media has stopped covering it for the most part, but the border crisis is still happening.
