US troops lay down barbed wire along border ahead of caravan

As three separate migrant caravans slowly made their way north through Mexico on Saturday, newly arrived US troops worked to lay a barbed-wire fence along the Texas side of the Rio Grande.

The soldiers worked with US Customs and Border Patrol officers to lay about 1,000 feet of fencing along the river, the Defense Department said. The makeshift barrier was installed underneath the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge, which crosses into Mexico. The overpass is in the small town of Hidalgo, about 250 miles south of San Antonio.

“I saw that beautiful barbed wire going up,” Trump said at a Saturday campaign rally in Montana. “Beautiful sight.”

A nice image, but 1,000 feet ain't gonna do much of anything.

A thousand MILES -- now we're getting somewhere.

You got me thinking about something, @Fishrrman.  They aren't going to do the 1,000 miles, but I wonder why they seem to be concentrating on TX.  I thought the rag-tags didn't want to go to TX, they wanted CA.  Did something happen to upset that plan?

Isn't Texas about 800 miles less traveling distance than California?

I don't know by how much, but yeah.  A lot shorter.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
