[zacok]

Those are illegal immigrants not “migrants”

[unclesavagewithashotgun]

They are worried about migrants drowning at the barriers? This is like saying the hoodlums worry they might get shot if they break into your house.😂😂

Best idea ever!
Illegal immigration is just as illegal as illegal migration.

Only a foot under water, can't you just swim under them then??

[BabyCovid]

Im moving to the texas if they succeed

[_garebear]

Dem here. This is BS. Either come up with a solution or allow Texas to defend itself.

[jimborghini]

Go to a LEGAL port of entry to claim asylum. Period.

[supergem]

That good idea I do not see a problem with that

[belladeive]

It's almost as if NBC doesn't have the mental capacity to understand that this is

[allenbaxter]

If the Federal government won't do their job then it reverts back to the State to do the Federal governments job.

[Qwiv]

Wow, they extend a whole foot under water so you CANT swim under them. Go to a legal point of entry then.
