Why build a fence that serves to keep your own people away from the river? But allows the other side free and unfettered access? Well, first you build the fence...then you divert the river to our side of the fence.

Why not just keep the river where it is, and fill it with gators, piranhas, and hippopotami? :-P

Well, first you build the fence...then you divert the river to our side of the fence. I like it. Diabolical.
But Mexico might have something to say about that -- since almost all of the water in the Rio Grande comes out of Mexico.
All of the Colorado and New Mexico water is usually used up by the time the river reaches Fort Hancock, about 80 miles below El Paso. The river is usually dry between Fort Hancock and Presidio.
At Presidio, the Rio Concho flows out of Mexico into the Rio Grande and it becomes a river again. The Concho provides around 80% of the water that eventually reaches the Gulf.
