Did you see that somewhere? I’m in Texas and saw it on the local news. They were described as nets anchored to the bottom and the buoys are round and tall so nearly impossible for most people to climb over. Never saw anything about razor wire
You are either too lazy or commenting in bad faith because what you are requesting is in the linked article. I left Texas because of people like you who only see what they want. Y'all blind.
I can't say whether the poster you're responding to actually read the article. However, the article says "...installing buoys along with razor wire...", so it doesn't seem clear to me, that the razor wire is necessarily part of the buoy installation. It could be they are installing the buoys, and then also installing razor wire on the banks of the river.
While it is clear that the poster missed the mention of razor wire in the article, jumping to "lazy" or "bad faith" seems like an overreaction.
It's in the article.
Texas has been installing the buoys over the past week, along with razor wire on the Rio Grande river near Eagle Pass.
I think the disconnect is coming from the phrasing. There are netted buoys in the river, and razor wire fences by the river. So you're right that the buoys themselves don't have razor wire, but it's definitely part of the "solution" our petty and evil state government is wasting our money on.
Whats exactly is evil about the buoys?
It's already a big-ass river with the border patrol cruising up and down the region in boats and trucks. The buoys are needlessly provocative, serve a purpose outside the purview of state authority, are ineffectual at any significant scale and thereby just trying to push people to even more dangerous routes without any actual impact on unauthorized crossings, are dangerous beyond what's visible, and are most likely ecologically harmful.
Honest people can disagree about the economic strain of unregulated migration, whether border states are getting the support they need from the Federal government, and who "deserves" what, but this is petty posturing and hurting people without making an actual policy difference. The notion that the state suffers overall from the inflow is just a racist dog whistle anyway.
purpose outside the purview of state authority
I would argue its not, after all there are many things handled both by the feds and the state. And texas already put up plenty of walls in more urban areas.
Get back to me when they put buoys in the Red River.
