Greg Abbott listens to former President Donald Trump\u2019s address during a tour to an unfinished section of the border wall on June 30, 2021 in Pharr, Texas. Gov. Abbott has pledged to build a state-funded border wall between Texas and Mexico as a surge of mostly Central American immigrants crossing into the United States has challenged U.S. immigration agencies. So far in 2021, U.S. Border Patrol agents have apprehended more than 900,000 immigrants crossing into the United States on the southern border.

Greg Abbott (R) has signed a nearly $2 billion border security bill into law. On Friday, Abbott signed legislation to allocate an additional $1.8 billion to protecting the southern border over the next two years.<\/p>\n<p>This nearly triples what the state already spends on border security. Abbott said his hands were tied in making the decision due to the Biden administration\u2019s failure to follow through on its duties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the federal government\u2019s job to secure our border, but the Biden administration has failed to do its job. So, Texas is stepping up and doing what the federal government is supposed to do,\u201d said Abbott.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenJaneNelson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenJaneNelson<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrGregBonnen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DrGregBonnen<\/a> for ensuring nearly $2 billion more in border security funding to help protect the people of Texas. <\/p>\n<p>We will continue to keep Texas safe &amp; secure. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/txlege?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#txlege<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v5qAYsvc4c\">https:\/\/t.co\/v5qAYsvc4c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gov.
