Six-foot alligator presents deadly threat to migrants crossing the Rio Grande

That was my first thought. Why aren’t there tons of them? I know. I am a meanie but something has to be done.

[SuperLuminal]

Need to import some crocs... Much more efficient than gators...

[Lurkinanloomin]

Can we transfer some more alligators from FL?

[Kickass Conservative]

American Alligator or Mexican Alligator?

[Jane Long]

What kind of snake was that???

Yipes!!!

[Equine1952]

I think it was supposed to be a cotton mouth or Water Moccasin if you prefer. They can be aggressive and are very poisonous. Nothing to play with. I might mention Rattlesnakes swim too.

6 footer, that’s a baby. We had an 11 footer the wreck a semi truck.
I say, let’s donate some really big gators and cotton mouths to the great state of Texas.
You’re welcome, Florida man

We should at least put up some signs warning crossers of the alligator and snake danger.

It would be the decent thing to do.

Perhaps warn them too that the Americans will put them in cages and not give them toothpaste.

Are you thinking “why didn’t I think of this sooner?” I plan to establish a “go fund a gator” account. I know the where to find the really big ones. We can import them from Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Bayou. Anyone else interested?

[Califreak]

Water Moccasin.

Your Cajun gators might like to mix a little carne asada into their diet.

There is a big gator under the dock for the USS North Carolina, BB-55, in Wilmington. It snatches one or two of those yappy, annoying little Chihuahuas, every summer. Where there is one, there are usually more.

[Equine1952]

If you can make it with cayenne pepper then them Cajun gators might be interested. Taste like chicken.

[gubamyster]

That’s a big ol’ snake. That might even scare away the gators, not alone the illegals.

[Equine1952]

Snakes are slow. Gators and crocs are faster. Salt water crocs are way faster. Australia might even give us some.

[gubamyster]

We’re going to have more gators than illegals pretty quickly.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

How soon before they report “Texas Border Patrol agents fear that FIFTY THOUSAND six-foot alligators who live in the Rio Grande, which migrants swim across daily to get into the United States from Mexico, may carry out a deadly attack.”

[Equine1952]

At least they won’t be starving. It breaks my heart to see a starving alligator. Molly Hatchet “Gator Country”. When you cross at night shine a flashlight across the river. It may change your mind.

[mass55th]

Can we get a few dozen more? Throw in some Nile crocs while you’re at it.

“Unfortunately, the water in the Rio Grande is too cold for Piranhas, it’s a good thought though.”

Well, crap.. there goes my dream scenario. So.. gators it is!
