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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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

Sounds like they'd better get busy down there.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

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.
