PATHETIC
This is exactly why we need our military on the border. 30,000 would do nicely and send the right message to our awful “neighbor” to the south.
FENCE— This also shows why we need a fence. With a fence you need less border agents. And not some bullshit virtual fence. The treacherous bastards in DC have tried to change the 700 of mandated fence into a virtual fence
700 MILES of mandated fence into a virtual fence
regarding a fence, it appears that livestock use the rio grande for water and a fence would make that difficult.

The river is the primary source of water for livestock on both banks. In this desert country, cattle are attracted to the succulent vegetation of the riparian area, where they remain until moved or the forage is used up.
On the BLM lands, livestock access to the river is restricted by a fence between the riparian area and the uplands. Small fenced water gaps allow livestock access to the river to drink.
