Construction continues on December 14, 2020, on a new border wall system project west of Douglas, Arizona, within U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector. As of December 11, over 425 miles of new border wall system have been built along the southwest border in place of outdated designs, or in locations where no barriers previously existed.

Joe Biden’s weak-kneed policies have created a crisis at the border, with illegal immigrants pouring across the Rio Grande in a flood. The droves of illegal immigrants are hitting border states especially hard. In Texas, politicians are looking for ways to step in where the Biden administration won’t, even trying to fund their own border wall. Breitbart’s Bob Price reports:
Two members of the Texas House of Representatives are preparing a bill that would provide $2.5 billion to fund a border wall. The proposal would take the money from Texas’ “Rainy Day Fund.”
State Representatives Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredricksburg) and Briscoe Cain (R-Deer Park) are working on legislation to take $2.5 billion from the Texas Economic Stabilization Fund, also known as the Rain Day Fund, to provide funding to build a border wall along the Texas border with Mexico. The proposal is still in the drafting phase, sources tell Breitbart News, but a bill could be filed soon.
A source in Rep. Biedermann’s office told Breitbart News on Tuesday that the bill is still in the planning stages but calls for the funds to be allocated to the Office of the Texas Governor, who would oversee the process of allocating funds and getting the wall built.
The funds would be used to design, test, construct, and install physical barriers, roads, and technology along the international land border between Texas and Mexico with a goal of preventing illegal border crossings in those areas, Biedermann told Breitbart News on Sunday.
