Texas Begins Installing Barrier On Rio Grande River To Stop Illegals From Crossing | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Texas law enforcement officials began installing barriers on the Rio Grande River this week in an effort to stop illegal aliens from trying to cross the river to reach U.S. soil.

    "New marine barrier installation on the Rio Grande begins today," Governor Greg Abbott said in a Friday tweet. "Texas DPS is overseeing the project in Eagle Pass. More to come."

    The 4-foot-wide orange spherical buoys spin if someone tries to grab onto them, according to the New York Post. The barrier can be moved or extended if need be.

    The effort is part of the state's "Operation Lone Star," which aims to combat the catastrophe unleashed on the state by President Joe Biden's immigration policies.

    A small business owner filed a lawsuit against the state claiming that the barrier will impact his livelihood as a kayak tour guide.

    Epi's Canoe & Kayak Team owner Jesse Fuentes filed his lawsuit just a few hours after law enforcement began installing the barriers, claiming that they will cause him "imminent and irreparable harm."

    "The Governor proclaims to support law and order, yet he initiated Operation Lone Star without legal authority and seeks to install buoys to score political points without a legitimate public policy objective," a lawyer for the company claimed in a statement.

    Abbott fired back at the lawsuit on Twitter.

    "We will see you in court. And don't think the Travis Co. Court will be the end of it," he said. "This is going to the Supreme Court. Texas has a constitutional right to secure our border."

    In a press release from the governor's office this week, the state announced that Operation Lone Star has "led to over 387,000 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 30,400 criminal arrests, with more than 28,500 felony charges reported."

    "In the fight against fentanyl, Texas law enforcement has seized over 421 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission," the statement added.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
