Texas strings concertina wire along New Mexico border to deter migrants https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/101823_tx_new_mexico_wire/texas-strings-concertina-wire-along-new-mexico-border-deter-migrants/
The Texas National Guard in recent weeks has deployed miles of concertina wire along the New Mexico-Texas border through an urban area west of I-10 as part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative launched in early 2021.

@TucsonSentinel Can we expect East German style guard towers in the future, along the Texas side of the New Mexico border? #NewMexico #Texas
@timo21 @TucsonSentinel pretty sure the constitution has something to say about this. Hard to argue that this is not an interstate commerce issue.
@ipxfong @TucsonSentinel That photo looked like the stupidest thing ever. A person can take the adjacent road past the razor wire. I'm inclined to ask what company has the wire contract, and who do they know in Texas government.
@timo21
Yeah, this is 100% political theater.
@TucsonSentinel
Where’s the Federal government. It’s the Untied States of America now.
Viva Nuevo Mexico Libre!
Long live the Free State of New Mexico.
It’s almost like the Civil War never happened except it’s Fascism now which includes ALL the old Evils!
@TucsonSentinel
Is this supposed to be a two-way barrier to stop Texas women from getting reproductive healthcare in New Mexico?
@NoctisEqui
I understand they are patrolling Hwy 10 to at least intimidate if not stop women from crossing for abortions but I don’t think they’ve put up a check point across it. But it’s Texas.
@TucsonSentinel I understand 'Mexico' is in the name, Greggy boy, but...uh...you do realize they are part of the union, right?
@TucsonSentinel but are the 10 commandments posted on every fence post?
@TucsonSentinel further inhumanity. 😢
