Texas will deploy a chain of buoys along the Rio Grande River next month in an effort to prevent migrants from illegally crossing the aquatic border that separates the U.S. from Mexico.
Texas Department of Public Safety Director Col. Steven McCraw said last week that the first 1,000-foot-long chain will be installed July 7 near Eagle Pass, Texas. The buoys are about 6 feet tall and have netting underneath to prevent people from swimming under.
“We’re securing the border at the border,” Mr. Abbott said at the event Thursday. “What these buoys will allow us to do is prevent people from even getting to the border.”
