Biden's Opposition to Texas's Border Buoys Is Disgraceful

• The Biden Justice Department recently filed a lawsuit to force Texas to remove a floating barrier on the Rio Grande River. The barrier is about three football fields long and consists of buoys that are four feet in diameter and spin to make climbing them difficult.
• Nothing could be more indicative of the reckless and dangerous hypocrisy of President Joe Biden and his open-borders advisors. It seems as if they would rather see men, women, and children drown trying to traverse the Rio Grande than take any effective steps to close the border and deter illegal crossings.
• In a letter to Biden, Gov. Abbott said, "if you truly care about human life, you must begin enforcing federal immigration laws."
• This marine barrier will detour any unlawful crossings, will prevent drownings, and will prevent human smugglers from bringing their victims across the river.
