Texas Gov. Greg Abbott maintained his firm stance and persisted in strengthening the southern border amid its conflict with the Biden administration.

On January 30, Abbott posted a video to X, which was formerly Twitter, stating that Texas “will continue to use every tool and strategy available to defend our southern border” and that “border wall construction is ongoing along the Texas-Mexico border.”

Although a Supreme Court decision stated that agents might cut razor wire along the Rio Grande, the governor of Texas emphasized that they have the right to defend itself against what he has dubbed an “invasion” at the border.

The Biden administration alleged that Texas’ concertina wires prevent border inspectors from entering strategic locations.

During his interview with media personality Tucker Carlson on his Uncensored show, Abbott stressed, “We are prepared in the event that that unlikely event does occur to make sure that we will be able to continue exactly what we’ve been doing over the past month, and that is building these barriers.”
Biden federalizing the guard, according to the governor of Texas, would be “boneheaded.”

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Gov. Abbott’s use of the term “invasion” has been echoed by Kristi Noem of South Dakota and Kim Reynolds of Iowa.
