Sen. Marsha Blackburn , the senior senator from Tennessee and a member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, toured the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday and told Breitbart News that what she found is that the physical barriers Texans are putting up are slowing the flow of migrants into the country.
“I took the time to go back to Eagle Pass, if you remember I was there last January in 2023,” Blackburn told Breitbart News. “Eagle Pass was kind of the hotspot. What the state of Texas has done is begin to put barriers in place. They have put buoys in place in the river. They have got containers at the water’s edge and they have got razor wire and fencing to help secure their border, actually secure it. The crossings are greatly diminished.
While Eagle Pass is having success using these barriers to deter migration, Blackburn said migrants are going elsewhere like El Paso, Arizona, and California to get around them and into the country. She pointed to the wild video that showed migrants storming the country in El Paso that came out earlier this month and noted that officials have said other states have served as other avenues into the country as Texas fights back on its own without support from Washington.
