During the Trump administration Trump talked about border crossing on a regular basis and we’re still talking about border crossing between Mexico and United States during the Biden administration. Hopefully you will not find this particular article about Mexico and United States border crossing controversial.
Just west of McAllen, Texas which is where President Trump made his last and final trip to sign his name to the border wall, made a few remarks, I want to focus my attention to a small town called “Los Ebanos” and talk about a specific street called “Flores St.”
If you ever decide to make a road trip you may want to check out the small little town called Los Ebanos and drive on Flores St. as this is a way to cross the border between Mexico and United States however what makes this particular border crossing different and unusual from the rest of the border crossings is what is actually used to allow people to cross the border.
If you enter this map coordinate “26.239467, -98.565081” into Google maps, this would bring up a border crossing between Mexico and United States.
Briefly skimming over the border between Mexico and United States it would pretty much look like any other border crossing we’re on both sides you see a checkpoint, then a river but the road Just abruptly ends on both sides. It may look like that this border crossing is no longer used or the bridge that one stood here may have possibly washed out and that it should be replaced. There is no bridge that is missing, and the distance between the two checkpoints wouldn’t be enough to install a tunnel. The Rio Grande has pretty strong currents and it is deep so you wouldn’t be able to walk across the Rio Grande river.
There is a ferry that takes cars and passengers across the Rio Grande River but I don’t like this particular fairy that crosses the river crew members must pull a rope in order to make the ferry cross the river.
Yep there is a boat that crosses the Rio Grande River in order to allow people to cross the border. Unlike any other border crossing, this particular border crossing is actually special and unique as this boat does not use any power in order to cross the real ground instead a rope is tied on the United States side and the other end is tied on the Mexican side in which a crew stands on the boat and then pulls the rope in order to cross the Rio grand river.
Here is a YouTube video that gives a pretty good feel and experience of what it’s like crossing the border at this particular border crossing and why it makes it so special.

I have to say this is definitely an interesting border crossing between Mexico and United States and according to unverified sources it is believed to be that this is the only border crossing still in operation between two countries that you pull a rope.
