Mexico submits complaint to US after Texas starts placing floating barriers along Rio Grande

Texas’ plan to install floating barriers to deter migrant crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border is being met with criticism from Mexico’s top diplomat.

The barriers are brilliant! Dangerous, yes, but remarkably effective!

Mexico has sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. government saying that Texas’ deployment of floating barriers along the Rio Grande may violate treaties on boundaries and water, Foreign Relations Secretary Alicia Bárcena said.

According to the Associated Press, Bárcena says Mexico will send an inspection team to the Rio Grande to see whether any part of the barrier – put in place to deter illegal migration – extends into Mexico’s side of the border river.

In June, Abbott also signed a package of six border security bills intended to help the state "hold the line" as an increased number of illegal migrants, weapons and deadly drugs pour into Texas from Mexico.

So long as the barrier is on the US side of the border Mexico hasn't got anything to complain about... but since it's an international issue it falls to the Federal govmint and I won't be surprised if diben orders Texas to remove the barrier.

How dare Texas to defend our border, the utter audacity of it.

And I wouldn't be surprised if Texas refuses!

I hope it plays out that way. It's against the law to aid and abet criminals. Everyone in the Federal govmint as well as others who have aided illegal aliens in any way are in violation of criminal law. But, we apparently don't have rule of law in the USA anymore.

No, what we have is widespread treason.

DOJ Demands Texas Remove Floating Border Barriers – ‘See You in Court,’ Says Governor​

The U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatening legal action if the State does not remove the recently installed floating border barrier. Governor Abbott responded on Twitter, saying, “We will see you in court, Mr. President.”

Assistant Attorney General Todd Kim and U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas Jaime Esparza sent a letter to Governor Abbott claiming the State illegally installed a floating border barrier in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, Texas. The letter claims the buoy barrier was installed without the approval of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The DOJ also claims the barrier violates the Rivers and Harbors Act by creating a hazard to navigation on the river.

Governor Abbott responded on Twitter and declared, “Texas has the sovereign right to defend our border, under the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution.” The governor added that President Joe Biden’s refusal to secure the border “encourages migrants to risk their lives crossing illegally through the Rio Grande, instead of safely and legally over a bridge.”
