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.

Must be a prime crossing area.
