Cruz calls on Biden to fix gap in Texas levee that protects border towns
Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and local residents in Mission, Texas, are calling on President Biden to fix a compromised levee that protects border towns from the Rio Grande Valley – with hurricane season just weeks away.
The levee was being adapted into a border wall under the Trump administration, and was supposed to connect to an already modified levee nearby. But in January, President Biden ordered a halt to border wall constructions – something he had promised to do during the 2020 presidential campaign. Construction crews left and now parts of the levee are shaved off or weakened, and some are missing altogether.More Related News
