BARBED WIRE ALONG THE RIO GRANDE, WELCOME TO VISITORS



















Pictures Of The Week Photo Gallery

(Ed.'s Note: Barbed wire was hailed as the end to cattle drives that used to cross the prairies and llanos of Texas such as the famous ones like Jesse  Chisholm Trail that, ironically, had its start in Brownsville. The reason it started in Brownsville was because that was the place where cattle stolen in Mexico were forded over the Rio Grande.

Just last week, U.S. troops stretched the coils of wire past Hope Park, the site where a plaque commemorates the start of the Chisholm Trail here.

Now, that barbed wire is not meant to stop the cattle drives, but to stop human beings from crossing the river and seeking asylum in the United States. Strange things are happening in this year, 2018. For Trump, it is the best of times. For the rest of us who aren't in his "base," it couldn't possibly be worse.)

Trump and his wife were immigrants his wife only got her visa because of Trump. The Border wall will not be paid for by Mexico. His barb wire will not stop the people who want to cross let him show his tax returns and show the amount of cheep labor employees he has.

When a whole hoard of folks decided they like your country and what you have, more than their country and what they have, they are not visitors. When they gather in mass and strike out for your country, any country would take that serious and make preperations to withstand the mass of folks. Always bear in mind, this wire is put there in response to what others are doing.

Trump is not an immigrant. He was born here. His wife was here legally. Please don't confuse either one of them with people that come here illegally. Don't be ignorant.

There are some of us that are "in his base" and believe that our immigration laws should be enforced. The failure to enforce those laws has now created a situation that allows those interested in destroying this country to send a hoard of people, waving foreign flags, to attack/invade us from the South. Of course Democrats see these people as voters for their Party, but some of us see more people coming to take advantage of our tax payers. Most of these poorly educated people will end up on welfare and most will not qualify for legal entry or asylum. We need to protect our borders and enforce our immigration laws or change the laws.

I am NOT a Trump supporter, I DONT like him, I can't stand him, BUT as a Texan, as a voter, I WANT wire, our soldiers, crocodiles, sharks or whatever stops people that don't want to fight for their rights in THEIR native land and think that is ok to cross ILLEGALLY because you are poor. STAND IN LINE, there are poor people that are locals.
Matamoros and Brownsville have an advantage over other crossings: THE RIO GRANDE.
BOTH mayors should get together NOW and think there are 3 other groups on the way. Charro days is in late February, think AHEAD, problems DONT go away.

"Shades of Berlin" Was the wall put up to keep out West Berliners or keep East Berliners in? That was Communism, which is close to Socialism, that's democrats want to do, mind control the poor and uneducated.

If ever there was a chance of this country becoming a socialist state (communists, neo-nazis, white suprimists) it's now with the stupid republicans supporting el pendejo trump. The berlin wall was a statement by the communist to the rest of the world, which is what trump is doing right now.
