Texas to resume border wall construction after reaching deals with private property owners, Abbott says

[blackhawk]

So you guys will stop bitching about immigration now?

Oh wait...what will you do with your life if you can't bitch about something?

 

[lennypartiv]

That ought to do it. Glad to know Texas will have no illegal immigration by the end of next year as shown by the dramatic decrease in illegal immigration with this year, with the walls that are already up.

It's great that Texas is building this wall, but they can still get in by crossing the New Mexico border.

 

[OKTexas]

Conservatives continue to demonstrate their racism, bigotry, and hate.

And their contempt for sound, responsible governance.

Building a ‘wall’ is a waste of public funds and resources; it won’t do anything to address the issue of immigration – it’s meaningless political theater and pandering to the racism, bigotry, and hate of the Republican base.

Yeah, bullets would solve the problem, that's exactly what criminals deserve. Their commie enablers do too.

[Catsnmeters]

A never ending wall.

It's a cult.

Send money to Bannon to build a wall.

Bannon pockets money illegally.

No wall is built.

Bannon is convicted of defrauding Trump supporters.

Trump pardons Bannon.

Trump supporters that were duped cheer.

Political cuckolds with no self respect.

It's a cult.

 

[Catsnmeters]

It's great that Texas is building this wall, but they can still get in by crossing the New Mexico border.

Why is it great Texas is building a wall?

 

[lennypartiv]

Why is it great Texas is building a wall?

To keep people from shit hole countries out of America.

The primary role of government, contrary to some on here, is NOT to spend money, it is to protect your citizens.

Credit to Abbott for taking this oath and duty seriously.

Texas to resume border wall construction after reaching deals with private property owners, Abbott says

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Saturday that the state government will proceed with the construction of a border wall after reaching an agreement with private land owners.

The Texas government will resume construction of a wall on the state's border with Mexico, according to Gov. Greg Abbott.

The announcement comes after an extended period of negotiation between Texas officials and private property owners for the construction of infrastructure on their land.

"More border wall is going up next month," said Abbott. "It took months to negotiate with private property owners on the border for the right to build on their property.

He added, "We now should be building more border wall all of next year."

Great news, border security/border integrity is what every country should have.

 

[Catsnmeters]

To keep people from shit hole countries out of America.

And you think a wall will do that?

How much do you think it will cut illegal immigration... percentage wise?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

2 constants on the border this century so far are that every time conservatives get border walls built illegal immigration goes up

Actually, you're wrong but what else is new. Lol.

The Border Wall System is Deployed, Effective, and Disrupting Criminals and Smugglers | Homeland Security

Effective physical infrastructure works to secure our Southwest Border. Since the U.S. Border Patrol began constructing border barriers nearly 30 years ago, these barriers have proved to be a critical component in gaining operational control of the border.

www.dhs.gov

EFFECTIVE – DISRUPTING CRIMINALS AND SMUGGLERS​

The results speak for themselves: illegal drug, border crossings, and human smuggling activities have decreased in areas where barriers are deployed. For example:

San Diego Sector:

• In one short 12 mile section in the San Diego Sector, the wall reduced CBP manpower requirements by 150 agents every 24 hours. That is approximately a $28 million return on investment per year in salaries and benefits. These agents were redeployed to fill resource gaps in other areas of the border -- further improving our security.
• CBP’s San Diego Field Office continues to be a significant source of narcotics seizures. From FY 19 to FY 20, seizures of fentanyl, marijuana, and methamphetamine all increased, with meth seizures jumping at alarming rates in the past several years – demonstrating that the border wall is forcing drug smugglers to where we are best prepared to catch them – our ports of entry.

Yuma Sector:

• Illegal entries in areas with new border wall system plummeted over 87% in FY 20 compared to FY 19.
• In FY 19, CBP deployed a temporary barrier, which it has replaced with a permanent system, at the Sanchez Canal, which resulted in illegal entries decreasing in this area by more than 1,000 per month.
• In FY 19, in areas of older existing border fencing or barriers, Yuma Sector apprehended 12 large groups (over a 100 persons) compared to zero large groups in FY 20 with new border wall system.
  • Family Unit entries have decreased over 95%
    • FY 19: 51,961 vs. FY 20: 2,940

RGV Sector:

• In a section of RGV (Zone 1) apprehensions have decreased since the construction of the border wall system. This is a location that has never had any border infrastructure.
  • CBP has seen 79% decrease in apprehensions in this area (Zone 1) since the completion of border wall system.
  • CBP has seen a 26% decrease in narcotics seizures since the completion of border wall system in this area.
• In another section of RGV, prior to construction of the border wall system it was common to see illegal aliens running across a heavily traveled road, putting themselves and members of the community at risk.
  • Smugglers are now forced to take their groups further west into areas that are less dense with brush and easier for CBP surveillance cameras to detect illicit activity.

El Paso Sector:

• El Paso Sector has experienced a significant reduction in drug and smuggling activities in areas where the new border wall system was built.
  • Most notably, in Zones 14 and 15 of the Santa Teresa (STN) AOR where apprehensions have decreased by 60% and 81% respectively when comparing the last half of fiscal year FY 20 to the first half of FY 20.
• El Paso Station has experienced similar results from the new border wall in Zones 20 – 23, with a reduction in apprehensions of 70% during the same timeframe.

Most Progs do not reduce their good life in these things. they spout good though.

Good. Texas can feel free to waste their taxpayer's dollars as much as it wants.

Its true that illegals can simply show up at a border crossing and claim go be refugees

Then biden will usher them in, relocate them to wherever they wish to go and put them on welfare

So why bother with swimming or climbing?

Greg Abbott should fix the Texas power grid and stop wasting money building a wall that doesn't work.

Since Americans seem incapable of managing their own country in accordance with your own Constitution, maybe you SHOULD be looking at why other countries aren't having these problems.

Because America with all its greatness is surrounded by country's with serious political and economic issues...primarily south of the border.
Do you want to illegally migrate to.....I dont know......Syria? Lebanon? Russia? Ukraine?

Why other countries don’t have immigration problems? I think everyone knows the why. No one wants to move to Canada

BTW Europe does have an immigration problem.

Is Biden and Barry Hussein racists for building walls around their houses?
