Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is enhancing his concertina wire barriers along the southern border with anti-climbing technology, according to Border Report.
Texas National Guard members are erecting 12-foot-tall wire fence panels laced with 3-feet of concertina wire in Brownsville, Texas, Border Report reported Thursday, citing an interview with Texas National Guard Maj. Mike Perry. The state recently secured an injunction on Tuesday in an ongoing court battle with the federal government, as Border Patrol has been cutting the razor wire.
EXCLUSIVE: Illegal Migrants Fist Bump Border Patrol After They Cut Through Abbott’s Border Wirehttps://t.co/hjfo3uzi9q@DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/te7NF8cczr

Roughly 1,000 migrants are camping in Matamoros, Mexico, which is across from Brownsville, according to Border Report.
Federal authorities have been dealing with a massive record surge in illegal crossings across the southern border in recent weeks. In less than a three month period in fiscal year 2024, Border Patrol encounters of migrants crossing the southern border illegally have surpassed 547,000, according to internal Border Patrol data obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“When they come in contact with migrants they radio to others. We’re strictly here to place the barriers,” Texas National Guard Capt. Chris Daniel told Border Report.
“What it’s doing is reinforcing the concertina (wire) that’s already there on the bank to try to stop the migrant traffic that’s moving through in between these ports of entry here,” he said.
The plan is to build 6,000 feet of the barriers, half of which has been done already, according to Border Report. The barrier is further reinforced with plastic ballasts “that we’re able to fill with water to instill more stability and rigidity to it – some weight at the bottom so it’s not easy to push over or pull down,” Daniel said.
In recent days, Abbott has signed legislation allowing state authorities to arrest migrants for illegal entry and began flying migrants to Chicago.
“President Biden has repeatedly refused to enforce federal immigration laws already on the books and do his job to secure the border,” Abbott told the Daily Caller News Foundation of his latest legislation. “In his absence, Texas has the constitutional authority to secure our border through historic laws like SB 4.”
The ACLU subsequently sued over the new legislation, saying Abbott overstepped federal authority. Abbott responded, saying he’s willing to take the battle to the Supreme Court.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA?
