Texas is putting up an inflatable wall in the center of the Rio Grande River to create an additional barrier for migrants attempting to illegally enter the U.S.
Gov. Greg Abbott announced the new measure to help quell the southern border crisis.
The 1,000-foot inflatable barrier will be placed in the middle of the river near Eagle Pass, Texas – a highly popular crossing spot for migrants across from Piedras Negras in the state of Coahuila, Mexico.
During a press conference Thursday, the Texas governor unveiled a photo rendering of the water-based barrier on buoys in the middle of the Rio Grande River.
