Texas is doing the job the federal government hasn't done; secure the border.
Crews began deployment of the floating border barrier near Eagle Pass, Texas yesterday. The project is expected to provide a strong deterrent to illegal border crossings in high-traffic areas along the Rio Grande.
Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez tweeted videos showing construction crews beginning the installation of a series of floating buoys near Eagle Pass on Monday. The buoys are being deployed under orders from Governor Greg Abbott with funds authorized by the Texas Legislature.
Construction is expected to take a couple of weeks.
