Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced this week that the Texas National Guard is installing razor wire along the border of Texas and New Mexico on his orders. “Migrants are entering New Mexico illegally then crossing into Texas,” Abbott wrote on X. “We are stopping it.” The move represents an escalation in the governor’s multibillion-dollar efforts to repel immigrants from crossing into Texas, now targeted at New Mexico, which is governed by Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat.
