Any celebration from pro-immigration activists in Texas regarding the removal of razor wire along the southern border was short lived. A few days after taking down a section in El Paso, the state's National Guard began installing thing metal fence posts, as well as new rows of concertina wire.
The Texas Military Department told Border Report that the razor wire was "temporarily removed to allow the International Boundary and Water Commission access to mow and service the area," but that it always planned to install it again. "This mowing reduces vegetation and increases the ability to detect illegal activity."
