Speaking of addressing the real problem, it's all just another political


stunt by Abbott, this one even a violation of international law.

But I realize that the cruelty as the point is more important, even Trumping (pun intended) the rule of law.

In June, Mexico’s government sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. State Department charging that Abbott's installation of razor wire and buoy barriers in the Rio Grande violated two key bilateral treaties governing the U.S.-Mexico border.

The barrier violates a 1944 International Water Treaty and a 1970 Boundary Treaty, according to Mexico. The boundary treaty states that both countries “shall prohibit the construction of works in its territory which … may cause deflection or obstruction of the normal flow of the river or of its flood flows,” Mexico’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
