NOGALES, AZ - The higher the wall, the harder they will fall. That's what border crossers trying to scale the new border fence at Nogales are painfully finding out.

The imposing new border fence running through Nogales is proving to be a treacherous obstacle for suspected illegal immigrants

A Nogales Police Department report says on Aug. 12, a woman broke her leg after climbing the border fence.

Two days later, officers found a second injured fence climber. And a third, suspected illegal immigrant from China fell and broke his leg on Aug 22.

Maybe they could cut a door in there,and put in a doorbell.

And what about the handicapped illegal immigrants?
Shouldn’t they have a wheel chair ramp every so
often?

No doubt they’ll all be suing the State of AZ for damages.

Grease it on both sides.

But, but a fence wont’t work and a waste of time!!!

Seems like it’s at least slowing them down. Every little bit helps. Add in crocks, land mines, and sharp shooters and that’ll slow ‘em down even more.

And if they’d have built double-fencing as they should have, the casualties might not have tried in the first place.

This can’t be true, don’t believe your lying eyes.

I have it on good authority that such fences do not work. Just ran across that on a Perry thread, where Perry’s opposition to a border fence was justified for that very reason.

OSHA will probably check into it,this is a illegal immigrants job after all.

Maybe it could be electrified with a “green energy” windmill or solar panels.

Since fences don't work then how come the White House has a high wrought iron fence around it?

[Cheetahcat]

Throw them back over! This is not our job to rehabilitate these border criminals,they came from Mexico throw them back!

[ReneeLynn]

China?!

[rockinqsranch]

SHEESH! Logic says build ‘em higher, and break both legs.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Grease it on both sides.With pork fat. That'll keep the Islamists at bay.

"Pork fat rules!"

So the “reconquista” invaders are hurting themselves invading sovereign land where many places deem it approriate to respond to such actions with being shot on sight? GOOD!

[GeronL]

Sounds like a wall on the border would work fine.

[festusbanjo]

Put some decoy gators in the Rio Grande. Also, a few speakers with random gun shots and screaming coming from the US side of the fence ought to slow down the invasion.

How long before some slip-and-fall lawyer signs them up for a class action lawsuit against the government?

And how long after that before the government agrees to pay them medical and damages, give them amnesty and remove the fence?
