Texas National Guard continues constructing razor wire border barriers, defying Biden administration
EAGLE PASS, TX: Texas National Guard Defies Biden Administration, Fortifies Border Barriers
Amidst an ongoing feud between the Biden administration and the Texas National Guard, Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas has become the epicenter of the conflict. This sprawling park, once a major route for illegal immigrants attempting to enter the United States, is now under the control of the Texas National Guard.
The controversy escalated when Customs and Border Patrol agents were caught on film cutting through razor wire to facilitate illegal immigration. In response, the Texas National Guard took charge of Shelby Park, fortifying the border barriers with razor wire.
TEXAS AGENTS TAKE BORDER UNDER CONTROL, INSTALLING NEW RAZOR WIRE AND ARRESTING ILLEGALS
Tensions reached a boiling point this week after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Biden administration, allowing federal agents to remove the razor wire and enable illegal immigrants to enter the country. However, despite this ruling, The Daily Wire discovered that Texas authorities not only maintained the existing razor wire fortifications but also added more to the border barriers. Furthermore, they continue to prevent Border Patrol from establishing a presence in the park.

Additionally, Texas authorities have been arresting illegal immigrants for trespassing and taking them to jail instead of handing them over to Customs and Border Patrol for processing.

Now, the Biden administration has demanded that the Texas National Guard grant Border Patrol complete access to Shelby Park by Friday, January 26th. In response, Texas Governor Greg Abbott defended the state’s decision to protect its borders from mass illegal immigration, citing the constitutional right of self-defense.
Support for Texas’ stance has come from twenty-five Republican Governors across the country, who have joined Abbott in criticizing the Biden administration for facilitating mass illegal immigration into the United States. They stand in solidarity with Texas, advocating the use of razor wire fences and other strategies to secure the border.
The dispute over Shelby Park unfolds against the backdrop of an unprecedented crisis, with over 10 million individuals crossing the border since President Biden took office.

Not only are Texas authorities fortifying the border barriers, but they are also taking matters into their own hands by arresting and apprehending individuals crossing the border illegally. This move demonstrates a clear defiance of the Biden administration’s immigration policies and a determination to protect the state’s borders.
The decision to fortify the border barriers and maintain control over Shelby Park has received mixed reactions. Supporters argue that the Texas National Guard’s actions are necessary to combat the influx of illegal immigration and ensure the safety and security of American citizens. They maintain that it is the state’s duty to protect its borders when the federal government fails to do so effectively.
Opponents, however, criticize the Texas National Guard for overstepping their authority and interfering with federal immigration policies. They argue that it is the responsibility of the federal government to handle immigration matters and that Texas should not take matters into their own hands.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle have weighed in on the situation. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has praised the Texas National Guard for their efforts, stating that they are “doing what the federal government has failed to do.” On the other hand, Democratic lawmakers have criticized the state’s actions, accusing them of undermining federal authority and exacerbating the immigration crisis.
As this conflict between the Biden administration and the Texas National Guard continues, the fate of Shelby Park remains uncertain. It serves as a symbol of the larger battle over immigration policy and the role of states in addressing border security. Only time will tell how this standoff will ultimately be resolved and what it means for the future of immigration in the United States.
Despite the controversies surrounding this issue, it is clear that the Texas National Guard is taking a firm stance against illegal immigration and is committed to fortifying the border barriers. Their actions highlight the ongoing debate over immigration policy and the differing approaches taken by state and federal authorities.
Amidst all the legal battles and political disagreements, one thing remains certain: the issue of immigration and border security is far from being resolved. The conflict at Shelby Park serves as a reminder that there is still much work to be done to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration and to find a comprehensive and effective solution that safeguards both national security and human rights.
