Wonder how Great Whites would do in the Rio Grande.

[Mouton]

Forget gators. Get some crocs.

[falcon99]

Exactly. Add a few more and we have a natural wall that takes care of itself — and a lot cheaper too.

[Mark]

Chum the water!

[deport]

Gators couldn’t eat that much.

[libstripper]

Venomous snake farms would also be a good idea.

[Osage Orange]

That was a movie.

And a six foot gator can tear your arm off.

[FrdmLvr]

Spread the news of 6 foot alligators in the Rio Grand south of the border. Who’s going to attempt to cross it if there’s a possibility there are gators in it? Put out some fake pics on the internet of body parts washed up on the shore. We can play their “dead body” game.

Florida would probably love to ship Texas as many pythons as they want from the Everglades.

Golly, imagine if someone had a truck full of alligators and they managed to get free and head into the river.

Hows about importing some Egyptian Nile crocks! Won’t need a fence with them in the Rio Grande.

Illegal heads north, hits the Rio Grande and is never heard from again.

Oh yeah! I’m an animal lover too (not at the retarded level of PETA members) so we should help nature run its course and send more wild dogs, wolves and crocodiles...

[libstripper]

Same for several cases of cotton mouths and rattlers. Dump them in at night—they don’t have serial numbers.

[Charles Martel]

A gator-filled moat is not as good as a wall of bollards.

This shouldn't be viewed in either/or context. Louisiana and Florida have plenty of the toothy critters - ship 'em to the Rio Grande.

>> “ship ‘em to the Rio Grande.” <<

The enviro weenies should love it!

Call it “Re-wilding.”

[catnipman]

one’s not enough ...

[unixfox]

Forget gators. Get some crocs.

Get some piranhas. Hell, just put up some signs. Danger: Piranhas.

In Spanish of course.

[metmom]

GOOD!

Import some salties, too.

[Califreak]

Irish kid in Lonesome Dove right?

I hated that part!
