During an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson this week, Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott discussed President Biden’s border crisis and explained some of the actions Texas has been taking to help quell the surge in illegal immigration, including using shipping containers as a makeshift border wall.

“We now have 6,500 National Guard and DPS troopers on the border to help secure the border,” Abbott said. “And as we’re talking right now, they are identifying locations on the border, where they are laying down razor wire to secure all the possible crossings that these caravans may be coming to.”

“And then in addition to that, beginning today, we begin dropping these large containers that you see on 18 wheelers, that you also see on these ships that are going across the ocean, we’re 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 becoming across the border,” Abbott continued. “And then on top of that, if they do come across the border, the National Guard of the Texas Department of Public Safety, they are authorized to arrest, you know, these people who make it through our blockade efforts and put them in jail for violating a crime of criminal trespass in the state of Texas. And Tucker, on top of that, Texas is stepping up and we are building our own border wall, that process has already begun. We’re in the process of getting bids on it. And I’m told to expect part of the Texas wall to be completed before the end of this calendar year.”

The news comes as Biden’s border crisis has continued to break records, with Border Patrol reaching 1.66 million arrests of migrants attempting to illegally cross the southern border in the 2021 fiscal year, the highest annual number ever recorded.

Despite the crisis, President Biden has continued to reduce border security. Earlier this month, for example,  the Biden administration announced that it is “[cancelling] the remaining border barrier contracts located within U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) Laredo Sector and all border barrier contracts located in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.”
