Do you want to cede part of Texas to Mexico? You can not builld a fence IN a river. If it is built on this side of a river, how far inland must it go to get beyond the flood stage? Who pays for the land that must be lost? The rancher who asked about watering his cattle in the river has a good point. That may be the only water close by.
But, hey, let's build a fence. Private property is not important. If they own land, they must have gotten it illegally, by using illegals, so just take it over.
You are so correct. They need to try a different type of “fence”.
Put barbed wire in the middle of the river along with sensors, then monitor it 24/7.
See, that wasn’t hard.
Like the reporter sooner or later someone talks out of their butt.
For the past ten years are so the united states government has had a cost sharing program where they pay farmers to fence cattle away from running water and put in pumping and a watering system. They pay 95% of the total cost (some get 100%) in some cases, and they pay 75 dollars an acre per year for the amount of land lost if it is planted in trees and not used. So there is no water concerns it is just BS for those who don't know.
I wonder what happens to the US-Mexico border if the river changes course.
