1/30/23 Texas is at the forefront of states protecting its border from the invasion at our Southern Border with Mexico.  Florida is a close second.  Texas is the state to watch for innovations and determination to secure its border whether by declaring an invasion and activating the National Guard on 11/14/22, negotiating with the governors of Mexico in April 2022 for increased security to deter illegal migration ref or erecting 130 miles of border barrier.

The current border barrier in Texas consists of 72 miles of eight foot tall fencing with razor wire and 58 miles of concertina wire.  Additionally, 1.7 miles of Trump style 30 foot tall steel wall in Starr County was completed in July 2022.  The second section of Trump border wall is a 1/3 mile Trump wall being built is Los Indios about 70 miles east of Starr County ref.  9.4 miles was recently secured by Fisher Sand and Gravel ref.  If it seems odd that the border wall is being placed here or there in Texas, it is because most of the land on the border is private property. ref


These 3 pending contracts as well as the two already secured (The first was in Starr County and the second is being built in Los Indios) total 31.7 miles of Trump border wall of which 1.7 has been completed in July 2022 in Starr County.  Construction is expected to ramp up this year.

Additional contracts cannot be finalized until the Texas Legislature approves more funding and it is expected to do so. ref
