Border Wall Plan Sparks Outrage in Texas’ Big Bend
Plans for a new 120-mile border wall in Texas' Big Bend region are facing fierce opposition from residents and local officials. Despite historically low illegal crossing rates, the Department of Homeland Security plans to build a 30-foot steel bollard barrier, threatening livelihoods and vital water sources. Local law enforcement and landowners are pushing back, advocating for surveillance over a physical wall.
