The U.S. Border Patrol has halted a controversial pilot project to poison all plant life along a 1.1-mile stretch of the Rio Grande riverbank to eliminate the hiding places used by criminals.

The $2.1 million project, which was to begin today, has been stopped indefinitely because of concerns raised by Mexican government officials, said Roque Sarinana, a spokesman for the Border Patrol’s Laredo Sector.

Screw what the Mexicans' concerns are. They're ALWAYS thwarting every effort we make to secure that border and try to hide it behind false flag concerns such as envirnonmental issues which they have NEVER cared anything about.

This suddden "concern for the environment" on their part is just a ruse. As if people living along that river on the Mexican side, dumping waste water, chemicals and other contaminents into it such as human excrement isn't damamging to the river...give us all a break and quit with the dramatic, phony environmental concerns! It's time for the USA to quit kow towing to the criminals and cowards in Mexico and do what needs to be done to secure OUR side of the border and protect the lives and property of U.S. citizens!
