Within his first few days in office President Biden stopped construction on the Texas-Mexico border wall, started by the Trump administration, but this hasn t stopped efforts to continue with construction.
Former President Donald Trump and Governor Greg Abbott visited the border on Wednesday, June 30, citing a record-high influx of migrants at the border and crime as the main reason why construction on the wall must continue.
Gov. Abbott who is up for re-election has made border security, one of his top priorities. Abbott enacted a disaster declaration in June for the 34 counties on the Texas-Mexico border, because of the increase of asylum seekers.
