Texas governor Greg Abbott announces plan to deploy marine floating barriers on Rio Grande to deter migrant crossings

Sad that it's come to this, but since the left will fight ANY attempt to secure our border on land, maybe this is worth trying.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday announced plans to deploy a floating marine barrier along the Rio Grande to deter illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border.

The announcement came during a bill signing in Austin, Texas.

Abbott, a longtime critic of the Biden administration’s border policies, said he intends to float the first 1,000 feet of the barrier in the river near the city of Eagle Pass in Maverick County. In 2022, a Texas National Guardsman drowned in the Rio Grande attempting to rescue a woman crossing the river.

Should install some shark fencing too so they can't swim under.

Moats and gators would be the perfect solution.

I noticed they don't have the spikes on the bouys like the military versions do. They are also extremely expensive, a 1,000 ft. stretch cost millions. I think they are good idea, but they don't need to be that expensive; somebody's relatives are making a huge bundle off this, unfortunately.

They should just mine them and set up machine gun pits.

Nile crocodiles, the answer is Nile crocodiles!

But since we know that will never happen, at least there's this plan.

Maybe abbot can get desantis to round up a shit load of Florida Gators and drop them off in the river.

Texas should just hire 1 or 2 border security guards for every mile of border. State jobs with good benefits doing a job.

The Biden ministration seems to have a pretty firm grip on what’s going on at the border.

But Greg Abbott has completely lost control of Texas. 5 Pro life women are suing the state of Texas over their crazy bans on abortion which endangered the lives, and may result in their never being able to have children.

There seems to be a mass shooting in Texas every other day, which is not surprising, considering the open carry, stand your ground, and every Texan gotta have a gun laws passed.

And you still don’t have power grid you can rely on as the summer heat is about to hit.

Abbott is pulling this border Staurant to deflect from his failures as a governor.

Might kill Trump's alligators.

Greggy is a little late to the party. The latest "border crisis" never materialized...he missed the memo that transphobia is the new black (no pun intended).

And as you can see by some of the above posts, Dimocrats will ALWAYS be against ANY attempt to secure our borders. They are all just like Biden, who invited this invasion in the first place.

A woman who can't get an abortion, may result in them never having children. How does that work?

The only time you EVER HEAR a liberal be concerned about spending is when securing the border is mentioned. THATS THE ONLY TIME. And if any of you clownish buffoons honestly thought a wall would make no difference, you would be DEMANDING the GOP build one. That way you could point out how useless it is!!!!! But you know you are full of shit. It's not about the money. It's not about the viability. Its all about just leaving the border wide fucking open so your maids, lawn care guys, and brick layers can come in and do your cheap ass labor.
