So I guess some of these floaty toys do have barbed wire on them? It looks like that in some of the newer photos.
Apparently, they added that after they were mocked.
But of course, if these are effective at all, some spic is going to hurt himself, and that cripple governor will apologize and remove them.
Texas’ latest measures to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the state between official points of entry was rolled out Wednesday with a 1,000ft floating barrier strung across the river separating the US from Mexico.
Workers have arranged large orange buoys across the middle of the Rio Grande, which doubles as the international boundary, near Eagle Pass, Texas — which is an an illegal crossing hot spot.
“The buoys go down a foot below the water line, so anyone wanting to get past them would have to swim at least that far down,” Texas Department of Public Safety Spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez told The Post.
A foot is not very far down though. I mean, I know my distances pretty well, and that is not a very great distance.
So far, migrants trying to make their way into the US have not attempted to go over them or under them, Olivarez said, adding gaps in certain areas are still being closed.
Well, that’s because they can just walk past them right now.
It will take another week or so before they can be anchored to the river bed and the work is completed.
“Most [migrants], they don’t want to go under water, they’re trying to scale over, like a wall,” Olivarez explained.
“Especially with children, I think it’s going to be most effective with families who are trying to come across. Across the board, we want to prevent people from crossing the river in the first place.”
I would just pick my kids up and throw them over. Kids don’t weigh a lot. People might not know this, but you can just pick them up and throw them.
Migrants who cross into the US through Texas have no other option than to wade through the waters of the Rio Grande, as it stretches the entire length of the state from El Paso, in the western corner of the state, all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, some 1,885 miles east.
I don’t even think they do all have barbed wire.
This has got to be the goofiest thing I’ve seen in days.

A real country would just shoot these people.
Or, you know – you could just arrest them once they are here. You could ban them from work and from renting housing.
We’ve had a border with Mexico for a really long time, and for most of that time, these people were not crossing because they couldn’t work or collect welfare. So they could cross over and then there was nothing to do so they just went back.
A wall was never really necessary, even. It’s very easy to just make it unattractive to come.
Their own countries are not that bad. Obviously, most of them are not coming from Mexico, originally. Mexico is a great country, and much better than the US, but these people are not allowed to work there, and can’t collect welfare, and get beaten up on the streets if they try to squat.
But even their own countries, in Central America – I’ve been there. They’re not really that bad.
This is such a stupid, manufactured problem.
