Texas law enforcement officials began installing barriers along the Rio Grande River this week in an effort to stop illegal immigrants from trying to cross the border.
“New marine barrier installation on the Rio Grande begins today,” Governor Greg Abbott said in a tweet. “Texas DPS is overseeing the project in Eagle Pass. More to come.”
Although the barrier can be moved or extended, he 4-foot-wide orange spherical buoys spin if someone tries to grab onto them.
From The Daily Wire:
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.
