Crocs or gators are fine but piranha are not native so I would scratch them and replace with water moccasins.
Only in the movies so these things hurt or stop anyone.
100's of gators here on the banks of the creeks and lakes and there is a concession to rent Kayaks and canoes.....run by the state (FL), so if they expose thousands of tourists to them they can't be too bad.
I wonder if I am going to have to school Wall people on technology? There is new tech that can see virtually anyone and their movements and track it all 100%. It can be done from light planes and there are companies that are ready to do it. The founder was an instructor at War College and in Iraq - he knows what he is doing: https://www.pss-1.com/hawkeye-ii
That is in addition to drones and satellites. It wouldn't cost much to use a special geo-stationary low orbit bird with some good cameras on it.
These technologies could be implemented next week. But it won't happen.
What I think people are getting wrong is that it is not the movement of people that is the problem. It is the "Drug" that the employers are giving them - WORK and MONEY. Having those employers flourishing in Texas and Florida certainly doesn't help.
If I was in their position I'd hop the border also. I'd want work. Can't blame people for wanting to be productive and earn a living. But you can blame employers for being hypocritical and making certain their states don't e-verify.
So when Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall, what he meant was that Mexico would not pay for the wall?
I think Giuliani said something to the effect that the truth isn't always the truth, or similar. Basically, he was saying that people lie, but some people think it is the truth, even though it is truly a lie.
I've come to believe it's a feature, not a bug. Repeating lies is how Trump followers pledge their allegiance. Being willing to stand up and say something demonstrably untrue, because Trump said so - that is some serious virtue signaling in that crowd. Kinda like Soviet Party members in the bad old days. Truth is irrelevant, Party Doctrine is everything.
And in Trump's inner circle, anyone not willing to propagate his lies has failed to show loyalty (to Trump - Trump knows of no higher loyalty than that, certainly not to vague ideals like truth) and will be purged.
He never meant that Mexico would pay for the wall and of course his supporters will believe that just as they believed that Mexico would pay for the wall.
Does anyone with a brain even really believe the liar in chief on anything anymore? He is not even a good liar because he either can't remember his previous lies and changes his story or he just doesn't care that he lies because he knows his base will follow him blindly and not check anything he says.
