EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Texas soldiers in El Paso are installing new rows of razor wire in a stretch of the Rio Grande where they took down the barrier last week.
Uniformed members of the Texas Army National Guard wearing hard hats walked along a recently mowed levee to set up thin metal fence posts on Tuesday. Some bent to tie new concertina wire to the posts as large wads of the old razor wire could be seen next to trash containers in the background.
Last week’s removal of the barrier Texas placed at the border to discourage illegal migration prompted concerns it would encourage new unauthorized crossings from Mexico. The area less than two years ago teemed with migrants seeking asylum and prompted the U.S. Border Patrol to set up a processing camp known as West Bridge.
