The Texas authorities entered into a conflict with the federal authorities over border security measures. State authorities also insist that the border is not properly secured, which has led to the infiltration of record numbers of illegal immigrants.

The US administration describes the measures taken by local authorities as "unconstitutional and unsafe."

Up to 25 Republicans have accused President Joe Biden of not wanting to combat illegal immigration, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott made clear that he was prepared for a possible conflict with the federal government.

Former US President Donald Trump said yesterday that the proposals of the current administration led by Joe Biden to secure the borders do not help stop the flow of migrants, while he is sending billions of dollars to Kiev to no avail. Considering the situation on the American border as a weapon of mass destruction that threatens the country's security.
