    Alligators found in Rio Grande

    Alligators found in Rio Grande

    Published: June 23, 2009 at 5:43 PM

    FORT HANCOCK, Texas, June 23 (UPI) -- Texas wildlife officials say there are six alligators living in the Rio Grande, east of Fort Hancock in Hudspeth County.

    "There were approximately six alligators that were observed, three of them that were in the 2- to 4-foot range, and about three of them in the 5- to 6-foot range," Texas Game Warden Ray Spears told KFOX-TV, El Paso, Texas.

    Spears said the alligators are in a rural area, so they don't pose much danger to humans. He said it is believed they were dropped off in the area by someone who was previously keeping them.

    The warden said his office will be monitoring the alligators to keep people safe and to see if the animals reproduce in the river.

    Hmmmm......seems that this has been suggested, for decades, as a means to keep illegal aliens from swimming across the river.

    Anyone willing to bet that this an added layer of border protection

    It would be absolutely hysterical to find that our own BP, DHS, or some other agency was responsible for them being there

    Maybe we can get a few of these to illegally immigrate to the Rio Grande!



    I may actually be convinced to support an amnesty for these critters!

    HAHAHA!! Thanks for the laugh today MW! I needed it! I would support amnesty as well, but they will have to feed themselves. No government handouts.
