Greg Abbott, has a lot of reasons to celebrate the success of the Operation Lone Star initiative, because several recent reports show a sharp decline in the number of migrant encounters in all Texas border sectors. Since the start of the special operation more than three years ago, Texas has managed to put illegal immigration under control in the absence of adequate federal help.
