Texas installs razor wire barriers along border in El Paso

Texas has started constructing wire fencing and barriers along the border in El Paso as Governor Greg Abbott takes action to stem the flow of illegal immigrants entering the state.

The move comes just two weeks after hordes of people hoping to be granted asylum in the United States stormed the border in the Texas town, tearing down the previous barriers and assaulting National Guard troops.
