EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – U.S. Border Patrol encounters with unauthorized migrants have fallen drastically since June. Still, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott remains concerned about the 58,000 or so that are getting through the Rio Grande or the border wall each month.

“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have allowed more illegal immigrants to cross our southern border than every before,” Abbott tweeted on Saturday. “Texas is fighting back. We are tripling our razor wire border barriers to deny illegal entry into our state and our country.”
 
Three days later, Texas Army National Guard troops were laying fencing and additional rows of concertina wire along the Rio Grande in the El Paso area. On Tuesday, a KTSM camera crew witnessed as soldiers laid the razor wire and installed fencing on the riverbank that faces not Mexico, but New Mexico west of El Paso.
