Greg Abbott Issues Deadly Alligator Warning to Migrants

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has warned migrants of alligators in the Rio Grande river.

"Alligators are in the Rio Grande. FYI there are warning signs posted in some sectors. Cross at your own risk," the Republican wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.

Abbott's post came in response to a journalist's video of an alligator that a resident spotted while fishing in the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass.

"Local resident, Luis De La Torre, came across an alligator while fishing this morning at the Rio Grande," Auden B. Cabello's post said. "Previous sightings of alligators have been confirmed by Border Patrol."

American alligator's range is expanding. As long as they have habitat, they seem to thrive.
They have them in the San Antonio River. (But not on the riverwalk area LOL)

And stick her on a swiftboat with her shotgun to "take care" of any "unruly" immigrants -- sometimes life on the border is hard, you know....

Then again I probably shouldn't give him any ideas, even in the spirit of sarcastic criticism...

Vedi Napoli e poi muori *See Naples and die

Goethe said that because he thought Naples was so beautiful you didn't need any further for beauty.
