Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on X Wednesday touted his move to further Operation Lone Star by adding to the El Paso barrier along the state's border with New Mexico.
"Texas installs fencing along NEW Mexico border," Abbott wrote. "Our barriers around El Paso forced the migrants crossing illegally to enter into New Mexico. They then entered into El Paso from there. To end that, we are building a barrier on the New Mexico border."
"It's clear that Gov. Abbott has no plans on actually addressing our broken immigration system head on — but instead adding more fuel to Operation Lone Star's dumpster fire," they added. The barrier comes as Texas faces a lawsuit over its decision to install buoys along a 1,000-foot stretch of the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas.
