Illegal immigration remains one of the most controversial issues for President BidenThe Texas National Guard has begun utilizing concertina wire on the border of Mexico along the Rio Grande.
The Texas Military Department announced this week that it will use concertina wire to deter trespassing over the U.S.-Mexico border near the Rio Grande. Concertina is a type of razor wire that unrolls in a helical shape to cover the most area possible. Trying to push through any type of razor wire without proper protection can cause severe lacerations.
"Operation Lone Star has currently constructed more than 17 miles of concertina wire along the South West border to continue to prevent, detour, and interdict transnational criminal activity and illegal migration," the Texas Military Department told Fox News in an exclusive statement. "The intent is to install concertina wire along state property and private property with consent of the property owners."
"Operation Lone Star continues to work toward finding effective and efficient ways to support securing the South West border in support of our interagency partners," the TMD added.
