A few weeks ago, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in an interview that the goal of Operation Lone Star is 'reducing illegal immigration to zero percent'. But the following passage of the interview showed the governor saying that they would get through the country anyway through Democratic-led states: "all those terrorists, all those murderers, all those rapists, they're just going to go through New Mexico and Arizona and California." He also added that "there are people who cross from Mexico into New Mexico and then right over into El Paso, and that's something we have to deal with."
His stance on New Mexico's management of immigration was reiterated even further this week as the governor announced that Texas is now "tripling" razor wire fencing along the riverbank between the state and New Mexico. KTSM cameras captured Texas Army National Guard troops installing the razor wire fencing which stretches from West Paisano Drive to the Texas side of the Anapra, N.M., bridge between El Paso and Sunland Park
