Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently announced border deterrence strategies to help Operation Lone Star achieve its objectives. "The Texas National Guard continues to build mile after mile of razor wire barrier, backed up by soldiers and law-enforcement," he said. "They have one goal — deny illegal entry into Texas."

"The Texas Legislature has stepped up to make sure we continue to robustly respond to President Biden's growing border crisis, including allocating $5.1 billion for border security,” said Governor Abbott in a recent statement. “I am signing six bills from this year's regular session to ensure that Texas can continue to do even more."

Governor Abbott recently thanked Ohio Governor Mike DeWine for sending personnel from the Ohio State Highway Patrol to support Texas' border security mission. "Thank you to @GovMikeDeWine for sending Ohio's support to our southern border," said Greg Abbott on Twitter. "Grateful to all my fellow Governors stepping up to join us."

Several other states have also sent assistance to Texas during the southern border crisis. "Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia have stepped up in response to the southern border crisis with manpower and assets. Currently, soldiers and law enforcement officers from Idaho, Florida, Tennessee, and Nebraska are on the southern border providing support for Operation Lone Star."

According to a press release issued by Greg Abbott, Texas has bused over 9,700 migrants to Washington, D.C. Texas has also bused migrants to New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Denver.
