Avideo clip that captures Texas law enforcement reinforcing razor wire along its state's southern border has gone viral on Twitter in the wake of Title 42's expiration.
The 1944 health measure was enacted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic during the administration of then-President Donald Trump as a method to control the number of border crossings. Title 42 allows U.S. officials to expel migrants without going through a formal asylum process in order to prevent the spread of diseases.
However, after President Joe Biden signed a measure declaring May 11 as the end of the COVID-19 emergency in the U.S., Title 42 expired, beginning Thursday evening. Critics of the president's decision feared that without Title 42 in place, chaos could ensue in already overwhelmed border communities, prompting some Southern states to announce their own plans ahead of the policy's end date.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has been one of the staunchest critics of Biden's decision to end Title 42, announced this week that he was sending hundreds of members of his state's National Guard to "border hotspots" to help repel "illegal crossings." Videos shared by Abbott on Wednesday showed Texas personnel putting up razor wire along the state's southern border as a deterrent against migrants from crossing in mass numbers.
On Thursday, roughly seven hours before Title 42 would officially be lifted, Abbott shared another video of the Texas National Guard and Texas Department of Safety (DPS) affixing additional razor wire in the face of a group of migrants who had gathered along the other side of the fence dividing Texas and Mexico.
As of Friday evening, Abbott's video had reached over 2.2 million views.
"Thanks to the Texas National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety," Abbott wrote alongside the 30-second-clip.

Not much on the video. Looks like a normal day at the border to me. People walk up, they walk in. Someone gives them an Obamaophone and they’re off.
How about land mines and guard towers with snipers while we’re at it.
Wonder if the brand of razor wire was Harry’s Razor blades “Long Lasting Titanium Coated Blades that Adjust To Contours.”
Obamaphone on first use says “By starting this device you have agreed to be a registered Democrat.”
“Sorry, me no speaky English. Trade Obamaophone for beef jerky. I am off to some place called Martha’s Vineyard.”
They can all be geo tracked through the smart phones so Trump can have them rounded up later and deported.
We don’t need no stinkin Title 42. Just seal the border. Why not stack leftist bodies 40 feet tall? Works for me.
Just for the cameras. Just Kabuki Theater..
In many places they stretch out a hundred yards of Concertina wire, then instruct the invaders to go around.
In other places where they stretch a thousand or so meters out, the invaders throw blankets, coats, boards, whatever is avaiilable over it and climb past. Some of the invaders get in such a hurry that they slip off the padding and into the wire. But never fear, there are troops, Cops and Border Patrol there with wirecutters to cut them out and get them on ambulances to take them to nearby US hospitals.
The wall with hi tech is the best. It stops some and it deelays many. They are easier to capture.
And you know this...how?
“”Trump can have them rounded up later and deported””
President Eisenhower deported over a million in the 1950s. Today, there would be at least several million volunteers willing to assist in locating and deporting all the new Obama / Biden Regime voters.
How dare a nation defend its borders....
A migrant stepping on a land mine would become a refried beaner.
He would not have the guts to do it again
>> Today, there would be at least several million volunteers willing to assist in locating and deporting all the new Obama / Biden Regime voters.
For the sake of argument, let’s say we have 10 million “immigrants” subject to deportation. (I’m not going to quibble about the number, maybe it’s 20, whatever.)
10 million * $1000 bounty on each head (dead or alive) = $10 billion — chump change in today’s spendthrift government world.
As you say, I think millions would volunteer to help with this effort. I know I would.
(by the way, the “dead or alive” on the bounty is optional, but it might help encourage quite a few of ‘em to SELF-deport. ;-) )
I’m thinking Squid Game...
That video goes viral, giving you hope, while the truth is the migrants are being re-directed to the big crossing points where they are put on buses and sent out all night every night.

I am a big fan of M109A1 howitzers, hub-to-hub, shell beehive.
Correction…M101A1 howitzers.
The M109s have to use KJ (Killer Junior)!
I’m 100% all in for bussing the illegals...
back to Mexico.
