The governor revealed plans for a floating river barrier at a Capitol signing ceremony for six new laws related to border security. The first 1,000-foot section will be set up near Eagle Pass.
Gov. Greg Abbott used a bill-signing ceremony Thursday at the Capitol to announce that the state will deploy buoys, shown in the photo to his left, to deter migrants from crossing the Rio Grande., The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
“We’re securing the border at the border,” Abbott said. “What these buoys will allow us to do is prevent people from getting to the border.” During the regular legislative session that ended in May, the Legislature approved $5.5 billion for border security measures. The other three bills Abbott signed Thursday allow Texas to more easily establish border security partnerships with other states, improve training of local police officers and designate Mexican drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations” under state law.
