Since the feds WON’T protect and defend our country, it looks like it will fall on the states to do that.

Ken Paxton has been suing the obama admin over issues like this for years. That is why the dims and rinos wanted to get rid of him. And in defense of Abbott, even though he is a finger in the wind governor, he did the same thing to the first 2 obama admins as well.

Google mapped it. What’s to stop the Rio Grande from shifting and turning it over to Mexico?

"Google mapped it. What’s to stop the Rio Grande from shifting and turning it over to Mexico?"

Filling in the river between the US border and the island and forcing all of the current to flow between Mexico and the former island?

A bit more: Paxton was attacked by the very liberal Dallas Morning News right after he won his first election. They accused him of being everything but a white man.
They knew who he was and wanted to destroy him any way they could.

Wonder how that operation went down. It sounded like they were prepared for a military style fire fight.

The border is set by GPS, not the flow of the river.

Been that way for 70+ years. (Not the GPS but longitude/latitude).

I’m sure the Cartel has good intel and knew when to vacate for now. Mexico was “cooperating” on their border in the area. Taking and abandoning islands in the Rio Grande happens from time to time.

Look for the Biden administration to find a liberal judge who will issue an injunction against this action.

Should have taken island disguised as cartel operatives. Lure dealers and mules in and find their contacts...then go on a rampage...not saying how to rampage....
Should be done for every secretive criminal organizations..

Just look at state borders along the Mississippi - the map line doesn’t move, which led to some odd ‘oxbow’ pieces of states not contiguous with their claiming state.

There is some area by OK and TX where the River controls.

Obama managed to make oil exploration impossible in OK along an area and tried to ignore the River moved the border. Not sure how it came out.
