The governor has reacted to figures showing that migrant crossings into Texas are down, while up in Arizona and California.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Tuesday that Operation Lone Star, his campaign to block irregular migration, 'is working' after U.S. Customs and Border Protection published figures showing a sharp decrease in illegal crossings into the Lone Star State.
CBP data showed that all five of Texas' border control regions registered declines between October and February, with the highest being at Big Bend and El Paso, at -65 percent and -47 percent, respectively.These were followed by Laredo at -38 percent, Rio Grande Valley at -23 percent and Del Rio at -6 percent. By contrast, Tucson, a CBP border region in Arizona, saw a 167 percent increase, and San Diego in California recorded a 76 percent rise.
