The Biden administration’s attempt to halt Texas’ efforts in securing the border has caused a considerable uproar. The administration issued a letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, criticizing Texas for not allowing Border Patrol access to the border for law enforcement and emergency response activities. Texas, in a bid to curb illegal immigration, installed a 2.5-mile stretch of concertina wire along the Rio Grande, preventing migrants from entering the state via Shelby Park, a known entry point. The state’s actions have been linked to a tragic drowning incident, which, according to the Washington Stand, bore no relation to Texas’s border security measures.
