Officials say both the newly funded and previously funded sections of wall should be complete by 2025.

SAN ANTONIO — Texas Representative Jacey Jetton told fellow lawmakers Monday that HB 6 would provide"critically needed funding for the continued construction of border-barrier infrastructure."

While the bill doesn't currently specify where the 50 miles of wall will be built, Jetton said those miles would actually be split between sections of Starr, Webb, Maverick, and Val Verde counties. "We have multiple tools in the toolbox that we are using to secure the border whether that is manpower with Operation Lonestar, whether it is buoys, whether it is border wall," Jetton said."We need to deploy every tool that we have."
