The Justice Department has put Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on notice that it intends to file suit over a floating barrier wall he erected in the Rio Grande River to keep migrants from crossing the border illegally.
The letter, a copy of which was obtained by USA TODAY, gives Texas officials until Monday to commit to removing the barrier. If there is no response, the Justice Department will pursue legal action, the letter warns.

The buoys, which are manufactured off-site by a U.S./Dubai-based company called Cochrane USA, were already challenged by a local kayaking rental business owner who claimed their presence was damaging to the river’s ecosystem. The DOJ’s letter was met with a tweet from Abbott wherein he claimed "sovereign authority” over the international border. The news comes in the wake of another DOJ investigation involving potentially life-threatening commands given to a Texas DPS trooper regarding the handling of migrants, an allegation which Abbott apparently denies.

Someone should drag this pos out of its wheelchair and throttle it with stick.
There is also razor wire, and the buoys have nets anchored to the bottom. Cf:
One wall, of course, is designed to keep people out and the other to keep them in. The execution and mindset—and pathology—however, are the same.
Why should a state allows "ILLEGAL" immigrants in ? They should have came in the legal way ! Its so funny that all these democrats are proposing to make "ILLEGAL" things legal, thats so disgusting.
Maybe since Magas are experts in the field they could give Democrats a few pointers.
