texas border wall immigration.

Texas has stopped providing new funding toward building a U.S.-Mexico border wall after lawmakers quietly approved a new budget that does not include funding for the project. It’s a shift in course after the state allocated billions of dollars to install hundreds of miles of barrier that Republican Gov. Greg Abbott set out to construct four years ago. The state has since completed only about 65 miles of the border wall to date. Abbott’s office said that efforts by President Trump to crack down on immigration allowed the state to adjust its spending. The number of migrant crossings has fallen dramatically this year.
