Biden Waiving 26 Laws to Rush Border Wall through Texas Wildlife Refuge

2. Starr County borders the Rio Grande, and its major city is built close to the marshland bordering

the river. Trying to build huge walls on shifting ground is a waste of money. I haven’t seen anything showing the path of the wall, but I know that proposed walls in other parts of Texas have been in the courts for years because they would abandon some citizens on the Mexico side of the wall, either forcing them to leave homes they can’t sell or travel miles to get through a border checkpoint. It’s hard to build a heavy wall on a shifting riverbank, so the solution has been to build it a few miles inland, thus cutting off people. I’m sad about this decision. It seems more political than a real solution to anything.
