The clash over Gov. Greg Abbott's anti-migrant buoys hinges on the definition of 'invasion,' and the 1848 treaty when Mexico gave up its claims to Texas.
The evidence includes a survey showing that Texas put most of the buoys on the wrong side of the border, and excerpts from the, signed in 1848, where Mexico gave up its claims to Texas three years after statehood.
Planning documents obtained through an open records request show the buoys were intended to be on the US side of the line. Texas officials have not explained why the buoys are not entirely in the U.S., but they’re attached to concrete anchors by 12-meter chains – long enough to allow plenty of movement in a shallow river.The state has shrugged aside allegations it violated an 1899 law that requires federal permission before construction in a U.S. waterway.
The barrier isn’t so temporary, it added, given the state’s admission that removal would take “several weeks,” heavy machinery and $300,000.
