Crime Texas Floating Funhouse emerges on the Rio Grande to stop illegals

[jefferz]

I wonder how much money was funneled to Abbott's buddy for these things.

I went out to a pool and swam a foot under the surface and died.

Condolences to your family.

is that an alligator in the water? if the gators arent going to deter the illegals from crossing, i dont think those bouys will either.

It wouldn't stop you from crossing over into our country.

I understand they have nets under them. Anyone know anything about that.
It wouldn't stop everyone that's true but it makes it harder.

You know why they don't hold the Olympics in Mexico? Cause all those who can run, jump or swim are already here in the States...

This should effectively kill all the young children and elderly, so... Success?

Everyone knows that diving down a foot under water is literally impossible. This is ingenious!

 

[My Spot]

They still haven't tried putting komodo dragons in the water like @Hollywood Nicky suggested. OXNARRRRRRRRRDDDDD

The search function on this forum is absolutely awful.
Can't find my other thread to update it, so I'm posting this one.

Workers have arranged large orange buoys across the middle of the Rio Grande, which doubles as the international boundary, near Eagle Pass, Texas which is an an illegal crossing hot spot.
“The buoys go down a foot below the water line, so anyone wanting to get past them would have to swim at least that far down,” Texas Department of Public Safety Spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez told The Post.

So far, migrants trying to make their way into the US have not attempted to go over them or under them, Olivarez said, adding gaps in certain areas are still being closed.
It will take another week before they can be anchored to the river bed and the work is completed.

Why aren't Mexicans allowed in, being that America is actually really theirs anyway. It was just stolen from them wasn't it?

The Narco Sub Coyotes are laughing at us

It's sure going to make it hard to get a boat across. So it's going to do it's job of slowing people down.

Oh but that's right, per some here of it's not a 100% effective then there is no sense doing anything.

Step 1: deploy the buoys
Step 2: tie weighted nets and wrap with barbed wire

^ I was going to say .. it's different if you add some kind of sharp cutting objects .. that would send most right back .. but then that would be cruel and homicidal .. and a lot of those people are not criminals just people looking for a better life .. I guess this is some attempt at deterrence without causing serious physical harm or death

They should stay over there then

 

[Crawler89]

It's very Christianlike.

 

[Darkballs]

Lol... What the fuck? They going to run that the entire over 1,000 miles along the border?

I think the plan is a small portion with a lot of pictures. The goal is to virtue signal, not to produce anything practical.

this is our border wall right here. they can't even stop the deer from illegally migrating.

Mexico files border boundaries complaint over Texas' floating barrier plan on Rio Grande

Mexico's top diplomat says her country has sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. government expressing concern that Texas' plan to deploy floating barriers on the Rio Grande may violate 1944 and 1970 treaties on boundaries and water

Migrants trying to enter the U.S. from Mexico approach the site where workers are assembling large buoys to be used as a border barrier along the banks of the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas, Tuesday, July 11, 2023.

MEXICO CITY -- Mexico’s top diplomat said Friday her country has sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. government expressing concern that Texas’ deployment of floating barriers on the Rio Grande may violate 1944 and 1970 treaties on boundaries and water.

Foreign Relations Secretary Alicia Bárcena said Mexico will send an inspection team to the Rio Grande to see whether any of the barrier extends into Mexico’s side of the border river.

She also complained about U.S. efforts to put up barbed wire on a low-lying island in the river near Eagle Pass, Texas.

Bárcena said that if the buoys impede the flow of water, it would violate the treaties, which requires the river remain unobstructed. Mexico has already asked that the barriers be removed.

Texas began rolling out the new floating barrier on the Rio Grande in early July. It is part of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s multibillion-dollar effort to secure the U.S. border with Mexico, which already has included busing migrants to liberal states and authorizing the National Guard to make arrests.

Migrant advocates have voiced concerns about drowning risks from the buoys and environmentalists questioned the impact on the river.

Once installed, the above-river parts of the system and the webbing they’re connected with will cover 1,000 feet (305 meter) of the middle of the Rio Grande, with anchors in the riverbed.

It's not their country. Sorry chief.
