Do they not sell ladders or shovels anywhere close to the San Diego wall?

That's what I caught as well. Being a US law enforcement agent, aren't ALL US citizens "his people"?

Before the fence was built, all that separated that stretch of Mexico from California was a single strand of cable that demarcated the international border.

Back then, Border Patrol agent Jim Henry says he was overwhelmed by the stream of immigrants who crossed into the United States illegally just in that sector.

"It was an area that was out of control," Henry says. "There were over 100,000 aliens crossing through this area a year."

Today, Henry is assistant chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector. He says apprehensions here are down 95 percent, from 100,000 a year to 5,000 a year, largely because the single strand of cable marking the border was replaced by double — and in some places, triple — fencing.






apprehensions here are down 95 percent, from 100,000 a year to 5,000 a year - which means 95k eventual votes are also lost each year.
Maybe the left are outraged because the thing actually works.

The entire reason we the people have the 2nd amendment. when government gets to big for their elected office, for the security and sovereignty of the entire nation. That is treason, during an economic invasion.

A border LEO can't have an opinion? The guy has a more intimate knowledge of border state enforcement than most of the yahoos responding in this thread.

It seems that many from Mexican roots even if they are citizens of this country have that attitude. It has nothing to do with the costs of the wall as illegals cost us $113 billion a year and the good double and triple layered walls already in place have been very effective.


We don't have an ocean separating us from Mexico so I don't know what you mean by that. Most illegals are coming thru our southern border not thru any oceans.


Well said!

I have never heard the left so concerned about government spending.

Who knew after all these years of government waste, all you have to do to get the left to care is to mention a wall.

Before the wall went up anyone that lived near any of the routes most of them took had to literally make sure everything was freakin bolted down/locked up in their shed or garage as the horde moving through were like locust. Someone I worked with lives in Chula Vista off of the 5 and he said he had to get a dog to keep them out of his yard because they kept stealing everything in sight and would leave his water on at the tap. Ever see those signs showing illegals running across the freeway? That was for real and a daily occurrence. Imagine waking up in the night and hearing them in the canyon behind your house. We passed on what was a beautiful place on the beach in IB because it was literally non stop illegals up the beach every night. We've been burglarized twice in 20 years here and it was illegals both times. At least they were caught later.
