Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has approved a plan to disrupt Rio Grande crossings from Mexico to his state by illegal immigrants.
His plan is to use a 1,000-foot “marine floating barrier” to visibly block key sections of the river most immigrants have to cross to enter the United States illegally.
The Center for Immigration Studies said the system is made up of large floating balls that spin to keep people from getting on. And while good swimmers can dive under them, “the whole design is to block the thousands, not the one” who can swim under, a state official told CIS.
Reporter Michael Adkison tweeted Thursday, “#NEW: Gov. @GregAbbott_TX says the state is ‘pretty much immediately’ beginning to deploy these sort of aquatic barriers, seemingly along the Rio Grande border with Mexico. It would inhibit border crossings by the river. #txlege”
