No trespass signs will be added. Migrants will be arrested on state charges if they cross.

That is the key.  No border patrol will be involved.

Simply paint a few posts purple.  Do not need no trespassing signs.

And I wonder if state charges pertains to the Border Patrol as well if they attempt to intefere with an arrest by state officials on the property?

This is a joke, right?
THAT isn't going to do much to keep anyone out.

A good set of bolt cutters and they'll be through it in minutes.
