Texas Vows to Maintain Border Security Measures Despite Supreme Court Ruling

The Supreme Court’s recent decision to clear the way for Border Patrol agents to cut or clear out concertina wire installed by Texas along the banks of the Rio Grande has been met with strong reactions from both sides of the border dispute. While the Biden administration applauded the ruling, Texas officials have vowed to maintain their current posture in deterring illegal border crossings.

Lt. Chris Olivarez of the Texas Department of Public Safety stated that Texas will continue to utilize effective border security measures, including reinforced concertina wire and anti-climb barriers along the Rio Grande. Olivarez’s tweet came a day after the Supreme Court’s 5-4 vote, which allowed Border Patrol agents to remove the wire while the Fifth Circuit still has yet to rule on the case’s merits.

The Biden administration argued that the nearly 30 miles of wire, installed near Eagle Pass, had prevented frontline personnel from performing vital federal functions and interfered with their ability to address urgent situations and enforce laws. However, Olivarez raised concerns about why the federal government continues to hinder Texas’ efforts to protect its border, allowing for the exploitation and dangerous methods of illegal immigrants, including children, to enter the country illegally.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has also vowed that the state will not back down from its efforts to secure the border in Biden’s absence. Abbott authorized the wire as part of a series of aggressive measures to curb illegal crossings from Mexico. The concertina wire stretches for roughly 30 miles near the border city of Eagle Pass, where earlier this month the Texas Military Department seized control of a city-owned park and began denying access to Border Patrol agents.

Eagle Park has become one of the busiest spots on the southern U.S. border for migrants illegally crossing from Mexico. Abbott has expressed frustration over what he says are migrants illegally entering through Eagle Pass and then federal agents loading them onto buses.

The conversation around the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Texas border crisis has sparked heated debates among netizens. Some have called for secession talks, while others have endorsed Governor Abbott’s stance on border security.

One user, jeramy, commented that it’s time for serious talks on Texas secession, as the main function of the federal government is sovereignty. If a president is allowed to ignore laws, then it’s necessary to discuss actual action, as illustrated in the Declaration of Independence.

Another user, bobby408, argued that Governor Abbott should be recalled for Texas to survive, as he is a MAGA extremist.
