People need to hit you tybe and watch construction videos for Three Gorges Dam, The Hoover Dam, any of the Golden Gate sized bridges, and like feats of construction and then tell me how we cannot make a measly little fence on, or IN a river.
Just excuses to support Perry and avoid protecting America.
I could have built the fence for the money Jorge pissed away not building the fence. These fools that scream terrain have never seen the mountains they log in Washington and other parts of the northwest.
No one’s explained how the fence in, on, 125 feet in from the river is more of a hindrance than the 1200 miles of the Rio Grande itself.
A road along the river would be the equivalent of a “no man’s land,” without the lost access to Texan landowners and patrols along the road would be more efficacious than the fence with out patrols or with the few and far between patrols we have.
We’ve got to have federal agents who are allowed to do what it takes to stop the invaders. We haven’t had those.
The State of Texas has been doing what we can with Rangers and DPS agents, guns, autos, planes and helicopters, with some virtual fencing. Our citizens volunteer for patrol on the border and even along the highways going up through Texas. Those professionals and volunteers actually apprehend quite a few, but then wait hours for the Feds to show up.
But then, the Feds - when they finally get there - “catch and release.”
