Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday that Texas will build a border wall along the states boundary with Mexico but provided no details on where or when.
Abbott declared his plans during a press conference in Del Rio. He said he would discuss the plans next week. The Biden administration issued a proclamation that stopped border wall construction on his first day of office.
Abbott announced the news while discussing a slew of border initiatives, such as a $1 billion allocation for border security in the state budget lawmakers just passed and a plan to establish a Governors Task Force on Border and Homeland Security with public safety and state government officials.
It will help all of us to work on ways to stem the flow of unlawful immigration and to stem the flow of illegal contraband, Abbott said, while seated next to officials from the National Guard, Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Division of Emergency Management.
