Texas deploys new strategy to handle migrant influx

♪ ♪. WILL: TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT DOUBLING DOWN ON BORDER SECURITY ISSUING INFLATABLE BORDER ALONG THE RIO GRANDE RIVER. >> THERE ARE A LOT OF DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE OF BIDEN'S OPEN BORDER POLICY. NOBODY IS BECOMING BETWEEN THE PORT OF ENTRY IT IS DANGEROUS. WE ARE ABOUT TO DEPLOY THE FIRST 1000 FEET AT EAGLE PASS BECAUSE THE CENTER OF GRAVITY WE ARE SMUGGLING IS MAVERICK COUNTY AND EAGLE PASS AREA WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO COME ACROSS AND CONTINUE TO PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK WHEN THEY GO BETWEEN THE PORTS OF ENTRY. >> YOU TO REACT ABORTED RITUAL COUNSEL BRANDON JUDD. IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU THIS MORNING. I'M CURIOUS ON WHAT YOU MAKE OF THIS IDEA. I DON'T KNOW PERSONALLY IF IT'S BEEN TRIED IN THE PAST. THIS IS NEW TO ME WILL IT BE EFFECTIVE AND WHY HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST? >> IT HAS NOT BEEN DONE IN THE PAST AND WILL PROVE TO BE EFFECTIVE. THIS IS BUILDING OFF TRUMP'S BORDER WALL, THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. WHAT WE SAW EVERYWHERE WE PUT TECHNOLOGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAUSES SMUGGLERS TO MOVE TO OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE BORDER WALL WAS VERY EFFECTIVE THAT TRUMP BUILT. THIS IS BUILDING OFF OF IT AND LOOKING AT THE RIVER WHERE ARE THE VULNERABILITIES WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP SMUGGLERS FROM BRINGING PEOPLE ACROSS THAT ARE GOING TO GET AWAY GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT STOP US. WHAT IT DOES STOP IS FROM EVADING APPREHENSIONS OF THE GOT AWAY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT ARE ABLE TO EVADE APPREHENSION IS WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE WILL DO AND IT WILL ALLOW US TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN REACTING TO WHAT THE CRIMINALS ARE DOING THEY WANT TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES. INFRASTRUCTURE WILL STOP THE OPPORTUNITIES AND IT WILL ALLOW US TO DEPLOY OUR RESOURCES. THEY WANT TO BE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE, WE WANT TO CREATE TIME AND THAT'S WITH THE BORDER BARRIERS WILL DO. WILL: IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SEE AND THINK TO YOURSELF WHY HAD I NOT THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE THAT MAKES TON OF SENSE I'M CURIOUS WHY HAS IT IN INFLATABLE BORDER BEEN DEPLOYED TO THE PAST? IS IT RECREATIONAL USE OF THE RIVER OR THE EFFECT ON THE WILDLIFE I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY WE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE. >> WE HAVE NOT SEEN ON THE RIVER BEFORE BECAUSE THE RIVER WAS A NATURAL BARRIER FOR WE HAD THE OTHER WALLS IN PLACE. ONCE WE GOT THE WALLS IN PLACE THEN THE RIVER BECAME AN AREA THAT THE CARTELS WERE TRYING TO EXPLOIT. THAT WAS THE NEXT STEP IN THE NATURAL PROGRESSION. NOW THAT WERE IN THE AREA WE HAVE TO BUILD THE WALL BUT WHAT IS SO DISAPPOINTING ABOUT THIS THIS IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S JOB. THIS IS NOT THE STATE OF TEXAS. YET THEY ARE STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE BORDER WALL WAS VERY EFFECTIVE, NOW WHAT CAN WE DO ON THE RIVER THE PUTTING UP THE INFLATABLE BARRIERS THAT WILL STOP SMUGGLERS FROM BEING ABLE TO OPERATE WITH IMPUNITY AND IT'S GOING TO SLOW THEM DOWN WHICH WILL ALLOW THE BORDER PATROL TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE. WILL: ABLE TO GET YOUR TAKE ON THIS BEFORE WE GO THERE'S A NEW U.S. BORDER PATROL CHIEF NAMED HE IS DEL RIO SECTOR HIS NAME IS JASON WINS. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE FUTURE BORDER PATROL. >> JASON L WINS IS ENFORCEMENT MINDED HE COMES FROM A BACKGROUND THAT SHOWS HE WANTS TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM THAT IS GOING TO ALLOW US TO BE SUCCESSFUL. THAT'S ALL WE WANT TO DO WE WANT TO PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS AND WE HOPEFUL JASON WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT. THE PROBLEM WILL BE SUBJECT TO DHS AND WE HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THERE ARE GOING TO ALLOW HIM TO DO HIS JOB. IF HE COULD DO HIS JOB HE WILL
