SAN ANTONIO — Congressman Joaquin Castro has heard the stories and allegations of inhumane treatment along the southern Texas border.
And he’s seen the video and pictures of floating buoys and razor wire.
In the coming days, though, he will take it all in with his own eyes.
The Democrat from San Antonio is leading a Congressional delegation to Eagle Pass, Texas -- where it’s all taking place.
“This is something that was completely avoidable,” Congressman Castro told us on Inside Texas Politics. “It’s something that many of us warned about in the last few weeks when Gov. Abbott made the decision to put these drowning devices in the river.”
At least one body has been discovered stuck in the buoys installed in the Rio Grande.
But Texas authorities say it appears that person, who has yet to be identified, drowned upstream and floated into the barriers.
Wheels should tell them all to swim-out and take a look as they are fresh out of boats. Outside of that the proper response is to very publicly tell the Democrat National Committee to FOAD.
Bad buoy, bad buoy
Whatcha going to do
