Texas still using razor wire to prevent illegal immigration despite SCOTUS decision
Texas National Guard Continues to Secure Border with Razor Wire Installation
The Texas National Guard is taking decisive action to protect the U.S.-Mexico border. Despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the Biden administration could remove the razor wire, the Texas Military Department remains steadfast in its mission to deter unlawful entry into the State of Texas.

The Supreme Court ruling, with a 5-4 majority in favor of the Biden administration, has not deterred Texas from its commitment to border security. Images have surfaced showing the state doubling down on efforts to combat President Joe Biden’s illegal immigration crisis by reinforcing the border with additional razor wire.
“The Texas National Guard continues to hold the line in Eagle Pass,” declared Governor Greg Abbott. “Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden’s absence.”

The installation of razor wire is part of Operation Lone Star, initiated by Governor Abbott in March 2021. This operation aims to address the surge in illegal immigration caused by President Biden’s failure to enforce U.S. immigration law and his policies. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) emphasizes the importance of Operation Lone Star in deterring illegal border crossings and protecting the state’s sovereignty.

These actions by the Texas National Guard demonstrate their dedication to securing the border and preventing unlawful entry into the state. Despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, Texas officials have taken matters into their own hands to ensure the safety and sovereignty of their state.
The installation of razor wire and anti-climb fencing in Shelby Park is a proactive measure to deter illegal crossings and protect the integrity of the border. By establishing physical barriers, Texas officials aim to send a strong message that unlawful entry will not be tolerated.
While the Supreme Court ruling allows border patrol agents to cut through the razor wire, Texas officials remain steadfast in their commitment to securing the border. The state has seized control of Shelby Park to prevent border patrol agents from removing the razor wire and to maintain a strong presence in deterring unlawful entry.
Governor Greg Abbott has made it clear that Texas will not back down from its efforts to secure the border. In the absence of decisive action from the Biden administration, Texas is taking matters into its own hands to address the illegal immigration crisis. The installation of additional razor wire and reinforcement of border security measures in Eagle Pass highlight the state’s determination to protect its citizens and maintain the rule of law.
The Texas National Guard’s continued presence and actions along the border serve as a reminder that states have the power to take action when federal efforts fall short. Texas’s commitment to border security sets an example for other states facing similar challenges and sends a message to the federal government that more must be done to address the ongoing crisis.
As the debate over immigration policies continues, the actions of the Texas National Guard and state officials highlight the importance of border security and the need for comprehensive solutions. While razor wire installations may be a temporary measure, they serve as a visible symbol of Texas’s dedication to protecting its borders and preserving the rule of law.
It remains to be seen how the Biden administration will respond to the Texas National Guard’s continued efforts to secure the border. However, the resolve shown by Texas officials sends a clear message that the state will not waver in its commitment to protect its citizens and maintain the rule of law, regardless of federal rulings or inaction.
With the ongoing immigration crisis and the Supreme Court’s recent ruling, the Texas National Guard’s continued presence and actions serve as a beacon of hope for residents who desire secure borders and lawful immigration processes. It is a testament to the importance of state-level initiatives and the resolve of Texas in addressing the challenges that come with securing the border.
