We\u2019re dropping them down on locations that could be crossings that would be used by these caravans to serve as a blockade to prevent them from coming across the border. And then on top of that, if they do come across the border, the National Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety, they are authorized to arrest any of these people who make it through out blockade efforts and put them in jail for violating a crime of criminal trespass in the state of Texas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Abbott also explained Texas was building its own border wall, and the process had already started.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in the process of getting bids on it.
