If this shit doesn’t convince libs that these states need just straight up military occupation then I don’t know what will. Long past time to finish reconstruction.

Lib-friendly idea to toss out as a "what excuse do we have for not doing this?": nationalize the national guard troops of Texas and anyone else who sent troops to the border then order them to tear this shit down.

Absolute minimum you could do and you draw parallels to nationalizing the Alabama national guard to force desegregation.

And even the most institutional brained should support some sort of intervention by the federal government because this involves the border, which has always been the domain of the Feds not the states.

Love how our border policy is being written by fucking Jigsaw

I'm still catching up at floating razor wire death traps - because you know, these aren't going to end up in the ocean. we aren't killing enough wildlife you see. that aside from the obvious inhumanity of these contraptions.

The future is a child climbing over the rotten bodies of animals entangled in razor wire.

Thanks for using nitter

I don't mean to downplay the inhumanity but I think it's a bulkhead connector to attach the buoys together, not a circular saw

They were designed that way to stop people from trying to climb over them.

Basically bird deterrent spikes, but to drown tired migrants.

Buoys for fucking razor wire

It's demonic.
