Wow. Do you think they just went to WalMart and bought some beach balls, or something?

Without having to do a single bit of research on it, I can virtually guarantee that these can be punctured and still float.

You know that stuff is actually engineered, right? Someone's manufacturing hundreds of thousands or millions of these things. Pretty sure they considered their market and the environments they could be used in during the design phase.

Does anyone put a single ounce of thought into the stuff they publish anymore? Doesn't seem like it.

Amen, at least somebody is trying to do something to stop this illegal invasion.

You might benefit from a study of the purposes of defensive barriers, and the strategies and tactics that underpin their usage. Hint: it's very, very easy to avoid being "murdered" by the defenders; simply don't try to breach the barrier.

Well, piranha lives in sweet water. Because of the geological formations, groundwater along the Rio Grande tends toward saltiness.
It will die there...

All they would have to do is get their friends already across to toss a border guard in to draw the piranha away from where they want to cross. Where piranha are native they use goats, but the fish aren’t that picky.

The Governors, Mayors etc need to join together and sue Biden.
Better yet, they should just tell him to go pound sand. The only powers possessed by the federal government are those that have been delegated to it by the states. It's high time that the state leaders are reminded of this, and act accordingly.

Doing something that is effective for the taxpayer dollars spent works for me.

Yeah, but Abbott can show pictures of what he’s doing to his slack jawed base and make them slobber with delight. How much is that worth?

I think that New Mexico (not to mention Mexico) will have a problem with Texas stocking piranha in the Rio Grande.

As soon as the folks on the Mexican side find an alternative use for the buoys and netting, they will disappear. The Palestinians started dismantling Israel's wall for scrap metal right after it was built.

Well, that would be priceless. Can you imagine the buckets of drool?
