Trouble is, the Rio Grande is like international waters.

It is treatized (or whatever) so that both countries can benefit from it.

Its a problem, but we (the U.S.) signed something away and said we would share or whatever.

I’m with you, cause it ain’t that reliable of a river. ( I doubt they have to swim here lately).

Yes, the USA and Mexico have a treaty in place to share water from the Rio Grande. The international boundary is recognized as the middle of the river.. I believe.

That said... our right to take water from the river... or theirs, would NOT prevent the construction of a barrier fence on OUR side of the river.
