   Texas has said it will continue to install razor wire at the US - Mexico   
   border despite a Supreme Court ruling which allows the Biden   
   administration to take it down.   
      
   The state has been putting increasing pressure on the federal government   
   for assistance in tackling the surge in migrants arriving from across the   
   border.   
      
   A section of the border near Eagle Pass in Texas has been the centre of a   
   standoff between the state and the Biden administration amid uproar over   
   border authority and security.   
      
   Authorities claim the Texas National Guard blocked federal Border Patrol   
   access to Shelby Park - previously used by the Border Patrol to process   
   migrants and for its Rio Grande boat ramp.   
      
   A Supreme Court ruling stated that federal government can remove Texas’s   
   barriers in the area.   
   However, Texas Lt Gov Dan Patrick has vowed to continue putting up more   
   razor wires.   
      
   "We are putting up wire ... everywhere we can. We will continue. We will   
   not stop," he told Fox News.   
      
   "If they cut it, we will replace it."

   Patrick also warned of "confrontation" with state authorities if the   
   barriers were removed.   
      
   He added: "I was down there Friday with our troops to thank them, support   
   them, and also to stand with them in the event the Biden administration   
   did send Border Patrol there.   
      
   "Wisely, they did not. We’re thankful they did not. We don’t want a   
   confrontation, but we want this border secure."   
      
   Last week, Gov. Greg Abbott said Texas has the right to fight off an   
   "invasion" and that state authority "supersedes" federal law.   
      
   Biden is now facing pressure from other Democrats to nationalise the Texas   
   National Guard and force it to tear down state barriers.   
      
   More than half of American Governors have sided with Abbott in his furious   
   spat with Biden.   
      
   The group, which includes every single Grand Old Party Governor excluding   
   Vermont’s anti-Donald Trump Governor Phil Scott, expressed support for   
   “Texas' constitutional right to self-defence”.
