Ana Yáñez Correa crossed the U.S. border with her mother in May—this time, in the opposite direction from which they came 40 years ago. For the first time in 50 years, the U.S. may experience a net immigration loss.

Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone .....

Four years after Gov. Greg Abbott announced Texas would be the first state to build its own border wall, Texas lawmakers have quietly stopped funding the project, leaving only scattered segments covering a small fraction of the border.

Just 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to date.

The Texas Tribune reported last year that the wall is full of gaps that migrants and smugglers can easily walk around. Previous funding is enough to complete 83 miles with 65 miles now complete. Work will continue on segments currently under construction but no new projects will begin. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/06/17/texas-border-wall-funding-ends-abbott-trump/ #immigration #borderwall #Texas #TexasBorder #DHS

While Biden said Tuesday the intent is to “gain control of our border, [and] restore order to the process,” analysts see this proclamation as a short term solution, but hard to determine if these new measures would work.

Border communities now await the fate of a state law that allows police to detain anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. If found guilty, a magistrate judge could expel that person to Mexico— even if they are not Mexican.

Two different groups surged through an El Paso border gate. An El Paso judge has twice thrown out the resulting criminal charges.

Texan secessionist movement is getting more attention than I've seen in decades. 😳

"longtime leader of Texas’...secessionist movement" -- "Daniel Miller felt encouraged last week, as fears of a new civil war trended online and a coalition of powerful Republicans coalesced behind Gov. Greg Abbott’s standoff with the Biden administration."
