So I don't know what to make of this Tweet which supposedly shows illegals being ferried across the river in Southern Texas.

Charlotte Cuthbertson on Twitter: "Video taken in SE Texas this morning. Huge line of people waiting for smugglers to ferry them across the Rio Grande into the US. Video courtesy of Tripwires and Triggers. #BorderCrisis https://t.co/KtONTzfP85" / Twitter

The boat is filmed delivering a load of women and children to the US side of the river and then returning. All women and children - I think that's what that crowd is.

I think persons without children and young/strong enough to do so would swim that river, it's quite calm.

But the video doesn't quite make sense. It appears to be a person friendly to this effort filming - people climb the embankment next to the person filming completely unconcerned. If you were smuggling people, why reveal where you are and the appearance of the smuggler paddling the boat, and that you have an endless stream of more people waiting to come in? 

In reality, those wanting in are likely heavily infiltrated with foreign fighters - the recent reports of people massing at the border should include men of fighting age but this boat footage just shows women and children waiting in line for help crossing.

Is it propaganda to warm up the public to "help" women and children when in fact foreign fighters are trying to flood our borders? Why have a friendly document and post footage of incursion?

Is this footage current? I checked the weather and it's 90 degrees in Laredo Texas right now.

Frankly, and my views vary in popularity around the internet, I believe we should guard the border with the same vigor with which I would guard the threshold to my house. Nobody should be allowed in illegally, and those that try should be, for lack of a better word, shot.

I realize this isn’t popular in some circles, but it is not THEIR country and they have NO right to be in it or to benefit in any way from it.

Odd. I never heard a soul refer to any part of the Rio Grande as SE Texas. South EAST Texas is by the Gulf of Mexico, the Sabine or maybe San Jacinto, Trinity or other rivers sliding into northern edge of the gulf. A Texan talks about the Rio Grande in other geographic terms. The valley. Big bend. South Texas. West Texas.

Lots of the Rio Grande you could wade across. Plenty of spots you can’t wade. But this seems off to me.

One of the greatest upsets to globalists and Democrats has been the flocking of a once monolithic democrat voter block of the Hispanic population to Donald Trump and the America First movement. Because of Trump’s style and America First conservative national populism, Trump attracted an entire population once statistically reserved for Democrats since the 1960s.
