In the last hours, The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, announced new measures that the state will take to control the border. In line with the immigration policy that he has led for some time, the Republican president announced that he will expand the border wall and that he will install thousands of new security cameras. In addition to preventing the entry of illegal migrants, the intention is to dissuade them from trying to enter the United States at that point.
The immigration issue is one of the topics that attracts the most attention in the North American country. For some time now, different political figures have had public disagreements over the issue and what measures should be taken. In that context, Abbot was always one of the most vehementwith the initiative of different provisions and even the promotion of SB4, the Texas law that allows the state to regulate immigration issues.
While that tension continues and eyes are on the US-Mexico border, The Republican governor announced new determinations. As stated TelemundoDuring a press conference, Abbot announced measures to increase control in the area and continue with the priority of preventing illegal entry through his border area.
Abbott’s first announcement was that will expand the border wall in the Rio Grande Valley area, a point that has always been a critical point regarding the entry of illegal migrants. Along the same lines, it was revealed that 7,600 security cameras will be installed to control in detail everything that happens on the border. Both decisions, which are part of the so-called Operation Lone Star, have the objective not only of monitoring the place, but also of ensuring that undocumented immigrants desist from trying to cross in that area.
