BREAKING NEWS – Eagle Pass, Texas – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that the Lone Star State is installing its “marine barrier installation” as part of its efforts to stop illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border — a move that has brought criticism from left-wing groups.
Texas officials have said that the latest plan will discourage people from attempting to cross the treacherous river. It is expected to take about two weeks to set up the buoys.
The move has seen pushback from left-wing groups. Environmental activists held a demonstration this week near the border, including holding a prayer for the river, praying to Mother Earth and Zeus.
