Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he's soliciting donations to build the US-Mexico border wall

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told a podcast host on Tuesday that he would solicit donations from the public to fund the construction of Texas' border wall.

Abbott said he would formally unveil the effort later this week and welcomed financial support from around the world.

"I will also be providing a link that you can click on and go to for everybody in the United States - really everybody in the entire world - who wants to help Texas build the border wall, there will be a place on there where they can contribute," Abbott said during an interview on the podcast "Ruthless."

The governor announced last week that Texas would begin building its own border wall after President Joe Biden stopped most construction of the barrier when he took office in January. The governor also said his state would step up its arrests of migrants illegally crossing the border.

5. who is the biggest Trump humper - DeSantis or Abbott?

I swear there is a competition for the two, vying to be Trump's next VP pick.

10. I think that's what it is, too.

Or the chosen heir if Donny’s not up to it in 2024.

6. Isn't Mexico paying for it?

These yahoos deserve to lose their retirement funds if they go for this.

7. Well, I guess Mexico must have paid for it

Otherwise, all of those people from the 2016 rallies would have given up on trump, right??

11. There is already a wall on the border nearly everywhere it makes sense to have a wall

The people that complain about needing a wall have actually never been to the border or (and let's be honest) are just racist assholes.

12. This is not a good idea.
