Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick announced Monday that the state plans to continue installing barbed wire on the border with Mexico despite the recent Supreme Court order that allows federal law enforcement to remove the barriers. . Patrick said Monday that Texas will continue to build barriers wherever possible, even if the structures are torn down. "We are putting wire... everywhere we can. We will continue. We will not stop. If they cut it, we will replace it," he said during an interview with Fox News. . During the conversation, Patrick assured that he did not want a confrontation with the Biden Administration but clarified that the priority is securing the border. . Watch the latest video at foxnews.com. A senior Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official recently revealed that immigration agents do not intend to remove the barbed barrier, at least while the wire case continues to unfold in court. . "Border Patrol has no plans to remove the (c-wire) infrastructure placed by Texas along the border. Our position remains the same. If we need to access an area for an emergency response, we will do that," said the official who spoke to Fox News anonymously. . Following the possibility that the entry of illegal immigrants will increase with the recent decision of the Supreme Court, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott launched a strong message ensuring that the border state will not be the one to bear the brunt of Biden's open border policies. . Abbott recalled that he has already transported more than 100,000 migrants to sanctuary cities and will continue to do so while the border is not properly secured. . "Texas has transported more than 102,000 migrants to sanctuary cities. Overwhelmed Texas border cities should not bear the brunt of Biden's open border policies. Our transportation mission will continue until Biden secures the border," he said in a statement published through X.
