Texas Governor Greg Abbott is not backing down on preventing illegals from crossing the border after yesterday’s Supreme Court decision. Right after the decision he tweeted that he “will continue to defend Texas’ constitutional authority to secure the border and prevent the Biden Admin from destroying our property.”
This is not over.
Texas' razor wire is an effective deterrent to the illegal crossings Biden encourages.

To that end Abbott just tweeted a photo of the Texas National Guard continuing to put up razor wire in Eagle Pass:

Nobody said he can’t put it there and the 5th Circuit still has to rule on the merits of the case. I love Abbott’s resolve on this issue.
UPDATE: Here’s new video showing Texas National Guard putting out even more razor wire:
Texas National Guard soldiers are setting up more razor wire here in Eagle Pass to repel illegal crossings.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court allowed the Biden administration to remove this wire but Texas is still blocking Border Patrol from processing migrants in this area. pic.twitter.com/edptUKNobz
