Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has taken matters into his own hands many times when it comes to border issues. He sent mass immigration to Democrat-controlled cities across the country. He also installed shipping containers under Operation Lone Star.
Abbott’s latest move to lay concertina wire along 60 miles of the Texas border has angered many in El Paso.according to El Paso TimesAbbott circumvented the permitting process to deploy wires along that stretch.
