"Texas" begins building a wall with Mexico, which is witnessing demonstrations against immigration laws

The governor of the US state of Texas announced Saturday the start of building its own wall on the border with Mexico, and the Republican governor said that the decision came due to the Biden administration's failure to confront irregular immigration.

Texas has begun building its own "wall", consisting of huge steel bars on the border with Mexico, according to what was announced Saturday by Republican Governor Greg Abbott, criticizing the Biden administration, which he considered not taking sufficient steps in the face of irregular immigration.

"Texas is really taking a step that no other state has taken," Abbott told a news conference. "Texas is building a wall on our border to protect the sovereignty of the United States and our state."

He added from the city of Rio Grande in front of a crane and steel bars that it was a measure "necessary for one reason only: the Biden administration failed to do its job."

The governor denounced the dire "consequences" of Democratic President Joe Biden's policies.

He continued, "This border wall that you see behind us is a replica of the border wall that President Trump built. Same materials, same concept."

Abbott confirmed to Fox News that his state is able to "move quickly" on construction because the barrier is being built on land held in Texas or owned by people who are "sick of the Biden administration."

The construction of an "anti-immigrant" wall on the US border with Mexico was one of the key promises made by former Republican President Donald Trump in his 2016 presidential campaign.

Construction began under Trump and then stopped under Biden.

In a related context, dozens of people from a caravan of migrants crossing Mexico since October, heading to the United States, organized a march Saturday in the streets of the Mexican capital on the occasion of International Migrants Day.

The participants, mostly from Central America, marched without incident on Central Reforma Avenue, carrying signs with slogans such as "Immigration is not a crime" and "No one is illegal."

The protesters arrived in Mexico on Monday after starting their journey in Chiapas, on the border with Guatemala, in search of a humanitarian visa to stay or move freely through Mexico.

During their first meeting with Mexican authorities on Thursday, the migrants reached several agreements under which the government will work to list these people to see in detail the status of each of them.

The advance of convoys towards the northern border has caused tensions with the United States, particularly under former President Donald Trump.

Other immigrants continue to try to reach the United States by paying smugglers, who often transport them in inhumane conditions.

It led to the deaths of thousands of civilians Pentagon documents reveal: US air strikes in the Middle East are flawed

New documents from the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) revealed that the US air war in the Middle East, since 2014, has been characterized by highly flawed intelligence information, hasty and inaccurate targeting, and in many cases led to the deaths of thousands of civilians.

The New York Times reported that the documents show that pledges of transparency and accountability have given way to blackouts and impunity.

In its report, it reviewed cases in which civilians were killed, none of which resulted in an admission of wrongdoing. It mentioned the killing of 120 Syrian villagers on the outskirts of the village of Tokhar, in a strike that the Pentagon said at the time targeted a gathering of ISIS fighters.

Another example came in the implementation of a strike in November 2015 in the Ramadi region in Iraq, after a person was observed dragging an "unidentified and heavy object" to an ISIS site, and it was found in a report prepared after a review that the object was a child who was killed in a raid.

Most recently, the United States was forced to retract allegations that a car that was destroyed by a drone on a street in the capital, Kabul, in August was loaded with bombs.

It was later revealed that the victims of the strike were 10 members of one family.

And the American newspaper reported that a set of confidential documents - recently obtained - dealing with more than 1,300 reports on civilian casualties undermine what the government is promoting about a war fought with precision bombs.

The New York Times added that "not a single record concluded that there had been an error or disciplinary action," noting that this was what the first half of the documents revealed.

While a number of cases reported by the newspaper had previously been reported, the New York Times reported that its investigations showed that the number of civilian deaths had been significantly underestimated.

The newspaper's report indicated that the poor and insufficient surveillance footage often leads to failures that result in deaths outside the targeting range.

He explains that many civilians who were injured in US strikes, and who survived, suffer disabilities that require costly treatment, and that less than 12 of them have received financial compensation.

In response to a query from the New York Times, US Central Command spokesman Captain Bill Urban said, "Mistakes can happen even with the best technology in the world."

"We are working hard to avoid such damage. We investigate every credible case. We regret all the loss of innocent life," he added.

The reliance of the United States on air strikes in the Middle East witnessed a sharp acceleration in the last years of the era of former President Barack Obama, as popular support for ground wars waned.

Obama described the new approach based on the use of drones as "the most accurate air campaign in history" and said it was able to keep the number of civilian deaths to a minimum.

But in 5 years, US forces carried out more than 50,000 air strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, according to the report.

The New York Times reported that its reporters "visited more than 100 victim sites and interviewed dozens of surviving residents and current and former US officials."
