HARLINGEN, Texas (Border Report) — The Department of Homeland Security is putting 17 miles of “waterborne barrier” in the Rio Grande in Cameron County in deep South Texas, Border Report has learned.

More military border zones likely in South Texas, Cuellar says
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has signed a waiver to expedite construction, the agency said in a news release Thursday. This is the sixth waiver signed by Noem for border barrier construction projects along the Southwest border.

The river structure is to be built south of Brownsville, across from Matamoros, Mexico, according to a memo obtained by Border Report.

The Texas border with Mexico is a lot longer than '17 miles'.

Sounds like they'd better get busy down there.

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.
