In Piedras Negras, a nun prays for migrants as smugglers benefit from Texas’ border buoys
Last week, two dead migrants were found on or near the buoy barriers, strung along the river between Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, Mexico. The Texas Department of Public Safety has denied that either migrant died by getting entangled in the barriers.
Turcios, an emphatic figure of faith who doesn’t mince words, says asylum seekers avoid the buoy barriers by walking three to four hours up and down the shores of the Rio Grande, risking more dangerous crossings of the river.The buoy barriers make the journey longer and more dangerous, agreed Ieva Jusionyte, associate professor of international security and anthropology at Brown University.
Mexico became the top U.S. trading partner at the start of 2023, with trade between the two countries totaling $263 billion during the first four months of this year, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.One recent evening, fresh arrivals knocked on the door of Turcio’s shelter, looking for a meal, a bed and a shower.
Jose Roberto, a smuggler in Piedras Negras, Mexico, stared across the Rio Grande and saw a landscape dotted with Texas state troopers. He pointed to four Venezuelans whom he was about to help cross the river. On the other side, they would turn themselves in to border authorities. Gov. Greg Abbott's actions have made the migrants journey harder, and have led to higher prices paid to smugglers like him, he said.
