In recent weeks, the state of Texas has taken action to address the influx of illegal immigrants at its southern border. The situation has escalated to the point where Governor Greg Abbott has declared a disaster and assumed control of a public park in Eagle Pass to curb illegal entry. Texas has been dealing with a significant number of unvetted immigrants, estimated to be nearing 10 million, who have entered the state and are then distributed to various cities and states across the country.
Governor Abbott's decision to secure the border and enforce the law has been met with resistance from the Biden administration, which has sued Texas. The state has deployed its own law enforcement agencies, including state police and the National Guard, to address the border security issue. To deter illegal crossings, the governor has ordered the installation of new barriers and razor wire.
