White House condemns Texas over ‘atrocious’ floating razor wire barriers at Southern border
Fox News ^ | July 19, 2023 | Anders Hagstrom

Posted on 07/19/2023 6:22:30 PM PDT by McGruff

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemned Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for installing razor wire barriers in the Rio Grande to block migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

"Texas has been installing these buoys along with razor wire on the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass. Mexico is now requesting that Texas remove these barriers. They say the state is violating international treaties and that they raised this with the administration three weeks ago. Do you agree with Mexico that Texas is violating these international treaties?" a reporter asked.

"This governor … has treated the situation that we're seeing at the border in an inhumane way," Jean-Pierre responded. "It is atrocious, the actions that he decides to take. He takes this [action] instead of dealing with this issue in a way that we can get to a resolution and working together, he turns it into a political stunt."

But razor wires around the Capitol were just fine.

“[Texas] is violating international treaties”

Oh, yeah, the treaty that eliminated all national borders worldwide. I forgot about that one. Why don’t they tell that to Red China, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea?

We Americans were taught at an early age to not touch the hot stove.

Most of us got it but some needed OJT training.

If the invaders are stupid enough to intentionally slice n' dice themselves, we SURELY don't want them here.

Just call the barrier triage.

But the White House is saying “tHe BoRdER iS sEcUrE!”

If it was, razor wire wouldn’t be needed would it?

They’re relying on the stupidity of people to believe what they’re feeding us.

The razor wire isn’t in Mexico. Those who stay on that side of the river have nothing to worry about.

Notice how they have reverted back to the Obozo years...”the WHITE HOUSE” says this or does that. Not “the Biden regime” or “the Obozo regime.” Rush pointed this out as a way the driveby mefia disassociates the horrific policies with the regime/pResident himself.

The only thing wrong that I see is the barriers aren’t electrified.

Texas is protecting their border...the fedgov is not protecting ours.

Odd aside.
Cats learn that if they jump onto a hot stove they shouldn’t do it again. But they say cats then will never jump onto a cold stove, either. That seems to be a way humans are better.

Maybe shoot them instead? Or, simpler, STAY IN MEXICO.

Mayorkas in a just world would be impeached and convicted by now, but nothing from our worthless do-nothing GOPe/uniparty congress.

If Karine doesn’t like something it’s a good idea to like it.

Old dirty tricks:
Feds putting poison on marijuana fields to discourage dealing. Made a lot of 60s people anti-government.

Jewelers putting a tarantula or a snake in the lighted front window display of the store seen from the sidewalk.
No matter if “not really deadly” or “not a deadly snake.”
Smash and grabs went down at those.

They aren’t making any effort to enforce the immigration laws, so they forfeit the right to criticize.

If the border was secure, there wouldn’t be any reason to worry about anyone being hurt by razor wire floating in the middle of the Rio Grande.

Gators, Florida crocodiles. Oh and piranhas might just be an invasive species (wink, wink).
