From Breitbart: Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the start of another border wall project in Starr County. The governor ordered the construction of border walls in Texas after the Biden-Harris administration stopped projects approved during the Trump administration.
Breitbart News reported that in January 2021, the Biden-Harris administration ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to stop border wall construction projects approved during the Trump administration. In an apparent flip-flop, Democratic Party Presidential Nominee Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly claims to be in favor of building a border wall.
In June 2021, Governor Abbott demanded the Biden-Harris administration return land seized by the federal government for border wall projects.
Construction began in September 2021 on Texas-funded border walls on privately owned land with approval of the land owners. The governor also ordered the restart of construction projects in September 2022 cancelled by the Biden-Harris administration.
In a statement this week, Abbott vowed, “Until President Biden and Vice President Harris secure the border, Texas won’t back down from the fight to secure the border by building more miles of border wall. Texas is the ONLY state in U.S. history to build our own border wall.”
“Texas border wall construction continues in Starr County. Texas is the ONLY state in U.S. history to build our own border wall. We will protect Texans and Americans from the unprecedented surge of illegal immigration,” Gov. Abbott announced Wednesday.

Last week, Abbott shared another video and announced, “Concrete is poured to strengthen the base of the Texas border wall in Maverick County. Until Kamala Harris and Joe Biden do their job to secure the southern border, Texas will add more miles of border wall to keep our country safe.”
