Abbott afirmó que la nueva barrera flotante evitará los cruces ilegales entre los dos puertos de entrada. 

La estrategia es hacer más difícil cruzar el río Bravo y llegar al lado de Texas.

Los primeros 1,000 pies de la barrera marina flotante se instalarán el 7 de julio cerca del área de Shelby Park. 

Costará alrededor de $1,000,000.

El Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Texas ha estado ejecutando la Operación Lone Star durante más de dos años, cubriendo a los contribuyentes con miles de millones en un esfuerzo por detener el contrabando de personas y drogas a lo largo de la frontera de Texas.

Texas to Deploy Floating Barrier along 

Rio Grande River in Eagle Pass by July

Texas Governor Greg Abbott last week announced the deployment of new marine floating barriers to deter illegal crossings in hotspots along the Rio Grande River.

Abbott stated that the new floating barrier will prevent illegal crossings between the two ports of entry. The strategy is to make it more difficult to cross the Rio Grande River and reach the Texas side.

The first 1,000 feet of the marine floating barrier will be set up by July 7th near the Shelby Park area. It will cost about $1,000,000.

The Texas Department of Public Safety has been running Operation Lone Star for more than two years, costing the taxpayers billions in the effort to stop human and drug smuggling along the Texas border.
