Wait what? Texas put up a border barrier without permission from the Federal government?

Yes and it's causing deaths (it has nets under it), so the US govt is not best pleased.

The state of Texas has to deal with the problem a lot more than the feds do.

Texas has much bigger problems they should be dealing with. Having a reliable grid should be a much bigger priority than the border, but Texas would rather kill people (at the border, or just in their own homes during a snowstorm) than fix their actual problems.

But hey, that's the republican MO.

There’s an easy way to avoid the murder buoy saws called “stop crossing the border illegally”.
