Unfortunately, Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) just gave away the Democratic game on Tuesday when it comes to the question of the buoy barricade in the Rio Grande and the fence at our border. She seemed to think the very action of protecting the border is evil in and of itself. This is where the Democrats have come to at this point — they don’t even believe in the basic protections for the defense of our nation.
Listen, as she and Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) describes how evil and inhumane it is just to have barbed wire at the border.
I’m here at Heavenly Farms with @JoaquinCastrotx as we witnessed the razor wires and buoys that has been implemented by @GovAbbott.
This inhumane, barbaric, and ungodly! We need to act now before lives are lost. pic.twitter.com/xlHZTdYepw

Um, guys? It’s a border. That’s what you have at borders. All over the world.
Imagine what other countries must think of us when they see our supposed leaders exhibiting this silliness. This is why other countries like China think they can roll right over us now and treats us like a toy. Other countries do far more to protect their borders. Some even shoot and/or arrest people who enter illegally. We give folks an “appearance ticket” for three years from now, for a hearing that they probably will never show up for. Then we release them into the interior. But that still isn’t lenient or ridiculous enough for Garcia, Castro, and other Democrats.
Meanwhile, my colleague Jim Thompson wrote about some of the heavily armed folks whom the Democrats seem to think we should just allow to walk right into the country.
NEW: Per law enforcement source, a group of suspected cartel gunmen armed with rifles & body armor were seen on cameras crossing illegally into the Fronton, TX area in the RGV Saturday night. Elite Border Patrol BORTAC agents were called out & searched area, but found nobody. pic.twitter.com/9GuhQngPKj

If the Democrats truly cared about the people or the country, they would protect the border and not empower the cartels with all the illegal alien trafficking. Democrats are encouraging the abuse of the people and making the cartels rich.
But then, Castro and Garcia went hilariously over the slide when they tried to describe that evil buoy barricade in the water.
Listen as Castro talks about the “chainsaw type device right in the middle of the buoys.”
Everyone needs to see what I saw in Eagle Pass today.
Clothing stuck on razor wire where families got trapped. Chainsaw devices in the middle of buoys. Land seized from US citizens.
Operation Lone Star is barbaric — and @GovAbbott is making border communities collateral damage. pic.twitter.com/PzKyZGWfds

Then Garcia focuses on the evil “chainsaw” and the true “brutality” of it.
Appalled by the ongoing cruel and inhumane tactics employed by @GovAbbott at the Texas border. The situation’s reality is unsettling as these buoys’ true danger and brutality come to light. We must stop this NOW! pic.twitter.com/XPc4C8Tnl0

Except that the problem is that they aren’t chainsaws.
And you know the simple way that you avoid them the big, bright easy-to-see barricade? Enter legally and/or at the border crossing points. Funny how that works.
Meanwhile, no one died in these, despite the Democratic lies. The body of one person who drowned upstream floated down to the buoys; that person was not killed by the buoys. But hey, who needs facts when you can spread Democrat talking points to help the narrative?
The Democrats are only upset about things that provide effective protection. They haven’t cared about all the people drowning because of Biden’s open borders. They don’t care about the thousands of missing kids under Biden.
But if you had Trump’s wall that Biden interrupted, and Biden was protecting the border as he is supposed to, you wouldn’t need any of this.
Democrats, with the help of Castro and Garcia, were immediately off to the races with the ridiculous “chainsaw” take, while Republicans were pointing out how this was all about pushing a talking point, not addressing the continuing problem.
Abbott and his extremist government are literally using chainsaw devices as part of their barbaric and inhumane border operations. The cruelty is the point — fueled directly by white nationalism. https://t.co/i0jGJpBsTa

This take has to win for the silliest take of the day.

Meanwhile, Townhall’s Julio Rosas, who has done a great job covering the border, let Castro have it with a little reality.
I didn’t see Democrats rush down to Eagle Pass last year when, before the buoys, migrants were drowning almost everyday. Democrats only care about the border crisis when there are attempts to stop and deter illegal immigration. https://t.co/XfGtHzW8gQ
