Texas to build floating barrier in Rio Grande river to stop illegal alien migrants | Eastern NC Now
state has appropriated $5.1 Billion in state funds for border security
Governor Abbot of Texas has announced that the state will begin installing a floating barrier in the middle to the Rio Grande River to stop illegal aliens from crossing. Large buoys 4 to 6 feet in diameter will be moored in a tight line in the middle of the river, with webbing underneath to stop people swimming under them. The buoys are designed to be almost impossible to climb over. The first section will be installed July 7 at Eagle Pass.
This year's state budget includes $5.1 Billion for border security against illegal alien incursion.

To claim they are about the same, Little Bobbie, you must be using that wacky Common Core math.

Take away covid, and they're about the same.

All one has to do is compare the numbers of illegal aliens who were getting in under Trump and the massive flood under Biden. THere is a huge difference. Also, under Trump, we had border enforcement, while it is a swinging door under Biden.
What we need is to look at what other countries are doing. Push illegal aliens back over the border as is now the law in Latvia. Use firearms and even pull the triggers as necessary as Greece and Hungary have done. Use water cannon like Poland. BUILD A WALL like many countries. Do not accept asylum claims from safe countries, like a number of European countries are enforcing. Deposit the illegal aliens for safekeeping in another country where the illegals do not want to be as Australia has done by depositing them in New Guinea and the UK is in the process of doing to deposit them in Uganda. There is lots we could do that we are not. Heck Botswana even built their border fence so they could run a lethal dose of electricity through it. The fact that they could at any time has made that fence a huge deterrant without ever having to actually turn on the juice. |

Like a boarder wall the Mexican government will pay for? Bahahahaha, seriously Stan, some times you say some funny stuff.

Big Bob: I absolutely believe that you have no grip on what is real.

|

and yet the boarder remains open

There in only one branch of government when it come to appropriations, and Mr. Trump was fought tooth and nail by the Non Patriot Democratic Socialist congress, while they were running the Fake Impeachment Series.
You would know that, Big Bob, if you paid attention. |

Proof, even when Republicans held 2 of the 3 branches of government the boarder remained open. They talk but little changed. Why? The rich people in both parties want the cheap labor. You and I are pandered to now and again but cheap labor trumps everything. Even racism.

Beaufort County residents deserve lower taxes and should demand them from government.

Cheryl Hines. Dennis Quaid. Nicki Minaj. All became associated with the Trump administration. What happened next?

"Pay no attention to the folks behind the curtain" was their preference but things are beginning to come to light.

Smoke and mirrors keep county citizens paying higher taxes.

Understanding how parties work is important for making informed decisions regarding elected officials.

Constant schedule/venue changes and double standards continue.
