Texas Gov. Greg Abbott shared to X on Saturday a clip of the wall being constructed along the border of his state and Mexico.
"Texas border wall construction continues in Maverick County and all along the Texas-Mexico border," Abbott wrote on X. " Biden's border crisis doesn't rest, and neither does Texas."
The decision came following Abbott's citing that a number of migrants who had been thwarted making their way to Texas had entered the United States via New Mexico."Our barriers around El Paso," he added, "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.
"Operation Lone Star," Abbot's office said in the press release, "continues to fill the dangerous gaps created by the Biden administration's refusal to secure the border. Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas and the nation due to President Joe Biden's open border policies.
