“The Biden Administration has abandoned its responsibilities to secure the border and Texans are suffering as a result. The problems along the border are only getting worse due to President Biden’s inaction. Property is being destroyed, deadly drugs and illegal weapons are being smuggled into communities throughout the state, law enforcement is having to redirect their resources, and county judges and mayors are facing skyrocketing expenses. Texas is doing more than any state has ever done to protect the border, but it is clear that more is needed. In the Biden Administration’s absence, Texas is stepping up to get the job done by building the border wall. Through this comprehensive public safety effort, we will secure the border, slow the influx of unlawful immigrants, and restore order in our border communities,” said Texas Governor “Low Energy Greg” Abbott at a June 16th, 2021 press conference, announcing that the Lone Star State was going it alone.

Four years, one day, roughly 8 percent of the 805 miles identified for the project constructed, and $3 billion in taxpayer money later the Texas Tribune reported that the state is abandoning the wall.

And quietly so as there’s been no official announcement from Abbott’s office. Republican state Senator Joan Huffman did however confirm it to the Tribune. “It’s not that we don’t think it’s an ongoing need to secure the border. It should have always been a function of the federal government, in my opinion, and that wasn’t really being done,” said Huffman, as if convicted felon President Trump’s regime has announced with great fanfare that they’re going to pick up the slack and build the wall using Mexican taxpayer funds like they were supposed to eight fucking years ago.
