Texas stops providing new funding for border wall construction

Texas has quietly pulled the plug on new funding for its border wall project, with lawmakers approving a budget that leaves out further financial support. This marks a notable shift in the state’s aggressive approach to border security under Governor Greg Abbott.
Editor’s Note: While this doesn’t mean the wall construction is completely dead (existing funds might still be used), it signals a slowdown—or at least a pause—in Texas’s high-profile push to fortify the border. The move could reflect shifting political priorities, budget constraints, or even behind-the-scenes debates about the wall’s effectiveness. For now, it’s a development worth watching, especially as immigration remains a hot-button issue ahead of the 2024 elections.
