The TNG did not take over the entire border. The CBP is still in control of most legal checkpoints as ell as many illegal crossings. The TNG took over Shelby Park.
And why after a week or so are we "suddenly" getting videos from all over the internet of wide open gates? Can anyone confirm that those gates are not in New Mexico or California?
Taxes has no land border with Mexico. The Rio Grande forms the border the entire way. So why are all of the videos not showing any river? Are border checkpoints a mile inland? That makes no sense from a national security standpoint.
As always, use the 72-hour rule. If it is not shown definitively to be bull excrement within 72 hours, then its either an actual thing or we should wait for comms or declass.
Please, mods, can we try to tone down the amount of Abbott hate on here? The Feds are out en masse trying to divide us again!
"Texas has no land border with Mexico. The Rio Grande forms the border the entire way."
This is my understanding as well, though in full disclosure I've only been there in person for a small segment of it between Brownsville and Matamoros. But I agree fren, it does seem strange that we're not seeing any signs of the Rio Grande in these videos. Though I could see scenarios where they build the border wall a stretch back from the river due to potential topological issues closer to the river (unstable ground, sharp grade, etc).
And agreed that this story deserves some time in the oven before making firm pronouncements.
That being said, do not agree with the mods toning down the Abbott hate. Unless it's obvious shill content, I personally don't want the mods censoring anyone's legitimate thoughts on anything. Especially since Abbott (imo) has been a very mixed bag for the state of Texas.
