As Governor Greg Abbott’s wall scheme slowly advances, the state awarded $224 million to a construction company that built a private wall now on the brink of collapse into the Rio Grande. GregAbbott Corruption
the right-wing Center for Immigration Studies in 2021 that Abbott should use his emergency powers to skirt the state’s contracting procedures and empower the private sector to build the wall.
“Our biggest obstacle is negotiations with landowners. We are dealing with thousands of landowners,” Facilities Commission Chair Steven Alvis said at the meeting. “It is a maze that I just have never anticipated. … It took us months and months to get us to this point now.” Rick Cavazos, a former Border Patrol agent and city councilor for the town, confirmed that construction began there right before Christmas and that crews had so far raised two panels of steel wall. This marks the first segment of state-funded wall built on private property in Texas.
While Fisher Sand & Gravel’s contract was promptly approved by the commission, one member did raise concerns about the exorbitant cost and slow progress of the state’s wall project. Commissioner William Allensworth, an Abbott appointee, pointed to a barrier that Poland built along its border with Belarus to stop migrants. He citedabout how the country built an 18-foot high steel barrier 115 miles long that was finished within six months and cost just $400 million.
