The governor toured Texas National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety border security assets in Eagle Pass, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>During a press conference, Abbott provided an update on his state\u2019s border security strategies along the Rio Grande. He said the lone star state will use resources to build a stronger, more efficient barrier to deter illegal crossings including razor wire.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cOne of those strategies is increasing the quantity and quality in the types of barriers that we\u2019re putting up,\u201d said Abbott. \u201cA tool that people agree is an effective tool is the concertina wire, which is the razor wire barrier that makes it far more difficult for people to cross the border.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Abbott also discussed the state\u2019s continued efforts to work alongside law enforcement partners in Mexico and the several Mexican states including Chihuaha, which he signed historic border security agreements with last month. The Republican governor also detailed the state\u2019s on-going support for local border communities including Eagle Pass as they grapple with the mass influx of illegal immigrants. If all else fails sending more buses of illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C. could be in the cards.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe are also making available to Eagle Pass and Maverick County the ability to be bussed to Washington, D.C. if a large number of people are milling around,\u201d the governor voiced. \u201cAs of today we have sent 45 buses to Washington, D.C. and a whole lot more where that\u2019s coming from.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Toured border security assets along the Texas-Mexico border &amp; provided an update on our strategies to secure the border in Eagle Pass yesterday. <\/p>\n<p>Texas will not allow the federal government\u2019s inaction to impede the safety &amp; security Texans deserve. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KLOSpDsLs6\">https:\/\/t.co\/KLOSpDsLs6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Gov.
