"So what is the exact complaint?"

In October alone, Mexicans abroad sent $4.8 billion home..

Maybe the portion of the cross-border remittances the mexican
government will miss out on.

The cartels can just shut their traps.

Excellent. If Mexico is complaining, it’s working.

There is no need to import a non-native species that will become invasive and problematic-there are plenty of nice, native alligators in the river of E Texas right on on/near the state line with Louisiana that can easily be caught and moved to the Rio Grande-might have to re-catch and take them back to E Texas in the Winter-it can get pretty cold in S and W Texas...

It isn’t as if the Rio Grande has major commerce that is being interfered with-the only thing that is being shipped across from Mexico there is mojados and illegal drugs-Mexico is just pissed because there is not as much drug and human smuggling money bribes being paid by los carteles with that barrier in place...

Signs every 50 ft saying we castrate both the pedos and the folks who make homemade goat milk in their bathtubs.

Defending our borders is racist.

Operating a border without a license from the syndicate:

- DNC
- progressive globalists supreme committee
- drug cartels
- Hollywood script writers
- churches for abortion
- race hustlers
- leftwing media
- labor unions
- and other such bastions of tyranny

Abbott should erect a 40 foot middle finger on the border in response.

The only kind of floating barrier that I want to see on the Rio Grande is multiple large boats powered by diesel engines with quad .50s on all four sides.

"I still think a Marine sniper every mile across the border would only take one or two days to get the message to the illegals."
Amen!

Oh he has already said the mass migration into th US is our fault. He’s right about Biden refusing to uphold Federal Law against illegal migration but then again he could close his Southern Border to tha illegals if he wanted to but then his income from the Cartels would dry up.

Gee, I wonder if the OBiden WH has sent a diplomatic note to the Mexican government expressing the American concerns of Mexico allowing millions of illegals from all other nations to funnel into America through Mexico’s previously well-controlled borders. I’m guessing not.

Picking off the Cartel members escorting them to the border and picking off the smugglers would also work.

Texas has the sovereign authority to defend our border, under the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution.

We have sent the Biden Administration numerous letters detailing our authority, including the one I hand-delivered to President Biden earlier this year.

The tragic humanitarian crisis on the border was created because of Biden’s refusal to secure the border.

His open border policies encourage migrants to risk their lives crossing illegally through the Rio Grande, instead of safely and legally over a bridge.
