In addition to providing habitat for endemic plant and animal species along the U.S. Mexico border, the islands carry historical and cultural significance. For the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, they are sites where sacred ceremonies and rituals have taken place.

    This is so easy

    1. Texan Independence, introduce naturalisation
    2. Sign free trade and migration deals with US and Mexico
    3. Save the islands & profit

    The state of Texas is being used to hide and smuggle migrants into the US and I hereby call on the Trump administration to secure our border by removing Texas.

      Both the federal gooberment and Texass stopped funding their ridiculous wall less than a month after Trump took office. 64 miles of non connected wall. Just a con.

        I wasn’t sure if it was maybe meant to be:

        Texas begins removing “rio grande”; island officials say [it] is used to hide and smuggle immigrants

        Or something similar. Me not being familiar with the area and the whole title being capitalized made it hard for me to pick apart the proper nouns

    Ingenious approach to solving problems! From now on, whenever there’s a bug in my code, I’ll just delete it. Can’t have bugs if you haven’t got any code. Taps head.

    The doesn’t solve the underlying issue. They should remove Texas from the border and place it somewhere in the middle of the ocean.
