Texas Governor Greg Abbott vowed to add more razor wire along the border with Mexico to crack down on illegal immigration, saying the state has the constitutional right to defend itself and accusing President Joe Biden of not doing enough to enforce the law.
“We are adding more razor wire as we speak right now to make sure that we are doing even more to secure the border,” Abbott said in an interview Thursday with Bloomberg Television.
