Two bodies have been found near the chained buoys in the Rio Grande within 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) of each other, according to Mexican authorities.

The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Texas Department of Public Safety notified them that they discovered the first “lifeless body caught in the southern part of the buoys that were installed in the Rio Grande River.”

The barrier works! Now let's get it deployed on all of the water border. Even better, the bodies are back in Mexico, not in the US.

If they stayed home it wouldn’t have happened

My sympathy meter is stuck on zero.

Two down ...

[DesertRhino]

If they are still in the river, they need to be dumped back on the south bank.

Success at last!

I’d say that there is a non-negligible chance that agents of the US government scrounged up 2 bodies, transported them to this location and dumped them in the river so that the media could imply that “the barrier killed them”.

Or the cartels murdered 2 who paid in cash so their bosses in district of cartels could scream about the floating barriers.

[RWGinger]

You might be right.
The Demx will milk this.

The death toll for July 2023 alone was 125...853 died in 2022....people are dying....is that the point The Hill?

My first guess is deliberate murders by the Cartels to produce psyops that will give political cover to stop the barriers.

Yes, these people will murder people to keep their business producing money.

Cartels.

This.

[AirForceVet1988]

As a pro-lifer, this makes me sad.

[Chode]

children...right??? feh

[1Old Pro]

Biden is encouraging this.

[ClearCase_guy]

You say “cartels”. I say “agents of the US government”. I’m not always sure there is any real distinction between these concepts. But, yeah: “those guys”.

[JimRed]

I prefer rolls of razor wire anchored to the bottom midriver at crossing points. A few screaming as they are sliced, diced and drowned will certainly discourage the others! That will result in fewer deaths than those kindly-looking floats.

[TornadoAlley3]

Now Biden’s DOJ will charge the Texas governor with murder.
