The wire barrier – placed along the Rio Grande in layers near Sunland Park, N.M. – is an attempt to curb a dramatic increase in migrants crossing into Texas, according to Abbott.Sunday. “They then entered into El Paso from there. To end that, we are building a barrier on the New Mexico border.”to the Texas Military Department. The military department and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Abbott’s initiative drew criticism. “Governor Abbott is desperate to stem the migrant tide, but his aggressive measures such as constructing barriers between El Paso and New Mexico not only harass and deter asylum-seekers but provoke divisions and generate tensions and animosities between and among American citizens,” said Howard Campbell, a University of Texas at El Paso professor of cultural anthropology and a specialist in Latin American studies with a primary focus on Mexico.
“This is crazy,” Pasillas, 74, said. “What happened to safe passage? We need to be able to move between states because we are the same country.”
