The Biden admin cares more about protecting illegal aliens than American citizens. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who’s watched the Democratic Party for decades
DOJ asks judge to order Abbott to start Rio Grande floating barrier removal
The Justice Department on Wednesday filed paperwork asking a judge to order Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to take action and have the floating barrier in the Rio Grande removed.
In a 21-page filing, attorneys for the DOJ have asked for the court to order two things: that the state remove the current floating barrier and any infrastructure used to anchor it, and that the state stop installing any further barriers while the case proceeds.
In its brief, the government claims the floating barrier has caused international concern.
“Texas’s construction of the Floating Barrier has already substantially harmed the United States’ foreign relations with Mexico,” the filing reads. “On numerous occasions since late June, the Government of Mexico has lodged protests with the United States, including at the highest diplomatic levels, regarding Texas’s deployment of the Floating Barrier.”
International concern? That’s their excuse? The thing they should be concerned with is protected American citizens and sovereignty. That’s it. Sure, we’d like good relations with Mexico, so, perhaps they could stop the foreign invaders from passing through Mexico, stop sending their own illegals, deal with the cartels, and work to stop the drug and trafficked children and women flow.
The Justice Department also argues that Texas is in violation of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA), by building the barrier in the river without federal authorization. DOJ also cited safety concerns as a reason they’re asking for the rulings.
On one hand, that is an international boundary, so, should the federal government have priority? On the other hand, it also borders the state of Texas, which has every right to protect it’s statehood when the federal government refuses to do the job. Brandon said the border wasn’t open, yet, he’s doing everything possible to make sure it’s open. Should be some interesting arguments in court.
So, the President of the United States won’t enforce our border laws, yet the Feds get mad when the Governor of Texas tries to do so?
That barrier is 1200,’ long
Texas has a border with Mexico of 1200 miles

Well John, you don’t live in Texas so you don’t need to worry about it.
so then what’s the problem? Obviously it doesn’t secure the border so why are they bitching about it? What is it, any attempt at securing our border is wrong to the president of the United states whose job it is to secure the border? The man is completely stupid and useless and he should be removed from office now. The president has got to the point where he poses a clear and present danger to the nation and people of the United states.
Lol
Who thinks this will be effective?
Probably only those who thought the Great Wall would alleviate their fantasy fears
This does bring up interesting questions about ownership, control, and easements of land. While the Federal government does have obligations to control the border, what happens when the federal government chooses to not perform that role? How thick is the border? Is it a line of 1 or 2 dimensions? Or an easement of several yards or a hundred yards? If it has a physical thickness, then can’t Texas put up unlimited barriers just outside of those federal easements? Can Texas pay Mexico to put up barriers on their side of the border, where not even the EPA can raise ridiculous arguments about interference with migratory birds and rats? Construction costs in Mexico are likely a lot cheaper too.
