You and a few other posters act like very cow and bull and calf in Texas drinks directly from the Rio Grande. Someone who’s capable of being objective and who also knows the true water situation in south Texas needs to provide some factual input.
But there is no way that that river is providing water directly for cattle more than a few miles to the north.
But whatever the water for cattle situation is, it is long past time that those narrow local interest were made a distant second to the national security need to get control of the southern border. Build the fence above the river for and if cattle farming is no longer possible, then cattle farming on the border isn’t that important.
narrow local interests? hmmmm
Is the objective to secure the border? Or is it to build a fence?
