The waterborne buoys snake their way from Military Highway south toward SpaceX

Special to El Rrun-Rrun
Largely unnoticed by the public, about 17 miles of waterborne barrier is under construction in Cameron County south of the border town of Brownsville at a cost of $96.1 million. The barrier, which is expected to be constructed toward the Gulf and just south of SpaceX, was awarded to BCCG Joint Venture, of Montgomery, Alabama, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
This section of Border Wall is going up next to the Riverbend Golf Course.
The Department of Homeland Security announced late last year it had awarded $4.5 billion worth of contracts to build 230 new miles of border barrier along the Southwest border, including 80 miles of “waterborne barrier” to be installed in the Rio Grande in South Texas.
The waterborne barrier is part of a total of 10 border barrier contracts issued in September through funds provided by Congress through President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.
DHS officials say the new contracts are part of what they’re calling a “Smart Wall” along the Southwest border with Mexico, that includes technology upgrades, patrol roads, lights, cameras and advanced detection systems, along with 30-foot-tall steel bollard walls.
“The Smart Wall means more miles of barriers, more technology, and more capability for our agents on the ground. This is how you take control of the border,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott told Border Report.

If we permit the violation of federal immigration statutes, where shall such transgressions conclude? What additional municipal, state, or federal regulations will proponents of such policies subsequently disregard? A nation that abandons its legal framework ceases to function as a legitimate state and instead descends into a condition characterized by widespread criminal activity and disorder.
The second the cartel turns on the faucet they'll be crossing over in the millions.
