Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Monday the state will continue installing razor wire at the U.S.-Mexico border, despite the Supreme Court ruling allowing the Biden administration to remove it.
The Republican-led state has been pressuring the federal government to help secure the U.S. border with Mexico and as they say they're defending states from a border "invasion" in the face of a record number of migrants arriving.
What he's saying: "We are putting up wire ... everywhere we can. We will continue. We will not stop," Patrick told Fox News' The Story with Martha MacCallum" on Monday.
"If they cut it, we will replace it," he continued."I was down there Friday with our troops to thank them, support them, and also to stand with them in the event the Biden administration did send Border Patrol there," Patrick said. "Wisely, they did not. We're thankful they did not. We don't want a confrontation, but we want this border secure."Representatives for the Biden administration did not immediately respond to Axios' requests for comment.
