Texas officially starts construction on border wall, Gov. Greg Abbott says

Repost from MSN.

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Friday that Texas has officially commenced construction on a partial wall to finish work along the state’s southern border with Mexico started by former President Donald Trump’s administration. The wall’s panels, which went up this week on the edge of Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley, are designed to help fill empty sections remaining along the federal border wall. 

Photos shared on Twitter by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin show progress being made on the wall, which Melugin explained uses “state land, state money” instead of federal funding. Texas is also using the same contractor deployed by Trump before plans to finish the wall were eventually canceled by President Joe Biden, Melugin says.  

“These are the first panels in what will be a 1.7-mile stretch designed to help fill gaps where there is no federal wall,” Melugin tweeted. “More projects planned.” Abbott quote tweeted Melugin Friday, opining that “Biden allows open border policies and refuses to enforce laws passed by Congress to secure the border and enforce immigration laws. Texas is stepping up to do the federal government’s job.”
