Mexico upset Texas floating barrier might actually work on Rio Grande

Mexico seems worried that the Texas floating barrier along the Rio Grande may keep illegal aliens on their side of the river and cause them higher crime and lower job availability if the migrants stay. They sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. government saying such an effective barrier may violate treaties on boundaries and water, Foreign Relations Secretary Alicia Bárcena said.

The Associate Press reports that Bárcena says Mexico will send an inspection team to the Rio Grande to see whether any part of the barrier – put in place to deter illegal immigration – extends into Mexico’s side of the border river. If it does, then it's no bueno, amigos. But if Texas can pull it toward their shore just a little, then they have nothing to say on the matter.

Texas began rolling out the new floating barriers in early July, but migrant advocates have voiced concerns about drowning risks from the buoys as opposed to the drowning risks of crossing the river in the first place.

Environmentalists, especially progressive liberal Democratic socialist environmentalist who believed the world should have already burned up, questioned the impact on the river.

Bárcena, a Mexican from Mexico not living in the United States, also complained about the installation of barbed wire on an island in the river near Eagle Pass, Texas, not Mexico. 

Photos of the inflatable barriers show what appear to be a string of connected inflatable spheres that spin when someone attempts to scale them. They look like giant caterpillars and can be fun for the whole illegal alien family.

According to a press release from Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s office, the inflatable barrier will "proactively prevent illegal crossings between ports of entry by making it more difficult to cross the Rio Grande and reach the Texas side of the southern border."

This can serve as a deterrent and thus save lives rather than end them, but it certainly will help stop the flow of future Democrats, the left believes.
