Texas' Controversial Border Wall: Cruel, Hypocritical, and Mostly in Mexican Waters

A survey conducted by the International Boundary and Water Commission revealed that 79% of the floating barrier deployed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott in the Rio Grande to deter illegal border crossings is actually located in Mexican territory. The buoy barrier, part of Operation Lone Star, was installed without permission and has faced criticism from both the US Justice Department and the Mexican government. The Justice Department claims it violates federal laws and poses a humanitarian concern, while Mexico argues that it violates international treaties. Texas authorities maintain that the barrier is necessary to combat illegal immigration, despite objections.
