Texas to Deploy Marine Barrier in the Rio Grande to Block New Surge of Immigrants

The first 1,000 feet of floating barrier, consisting of large rotating buoys strung tightly together on thick steel cable, will be rolled out on a highly trafficked stretch of the Rio Grande between Piedras Negras, Mexico, and Eagle Pass, Texas, where a rising torrent of immigrant family groups have been crossing to turn themselves in since the end of Title 42 pandemic instant expulsions May 12, the sources said. Immigrants would have difficulty crossing over the buoys because they would rotate backward toward immigrants attempting to climb over them.

It's about time since the Federal Govt. has been so ineffective in stopping the continuous flow of illegal immigration into this nation.

Good for Texas and God bless them!

Gonna need a lot more than 1000 ft

[Vendome]

Good idea...

They have several other products that can be used to deny crossing and entry

[Lurker]

Just shoot a few of the coyotes, already.

Might as well get the party started.

Hi.

“They have several other products that can be used to deny crossing and entry”

Whatever works.

How about just a few rows of concertina wire.

A good start but should be along the entire water border, then concertina wire on the shore. Dry border should have a wall. Everywhere should be armed troops to shoot any military age people that still manage to cross.

How about relocating a few gators from Houston?

[The Bugler]

How ‘bout taking a deep breath and swim under them ?

Immigrants would have difficulty crossing over the buoys because they would rotate backward toward immigrants attempting to climb over them

Now that's going to spawn some funny YouTube videos.

I would suppose that cable could be cut?

[Texan4Life]

Honestly, to stop this invasion, the US needs to invade Mexico, and take over the border for about5 miles inland. That would become American soil, and you would build the Customs and border wall there.

And just who is going to Stop us???

[Reno89519]

Yes, much like we’ve created safe havens in other countries, do it here, give a safe place to deport illegal aliens from Mexico or who have crossed into the US from Mexico (or from anywhere).

An American borderwall on the southern end of Mexico would be cheaper and shorter...

I think Florida has a few hundred alligators that could be relocated to the Rio Grande.

[dfwgator]

What about sharks with lasers attached to their heads?

[spokeshave]

How about just a few rows of concertina wire.

That,,,and some heavy interlocked chain main hanging down.
