Texas Has Kicked Off Construction On Historic Floating Border Barrier

Construction crews in Eagle Pass, Texas, started building a brand new, historic floating border barrier near the area on Monday.

The ultimate goal of the new project is to provide a strong deterrent for individuals contemplating crossing the border illegally in high-traffic areas along the Rio Grande.

This is largely due to the fact that so many immigrants have died attempting to cross the river, making it a serious safety hazard to those trying to gain access to the United States.
