If the fence is right on the border, as the lady says, what is to stop a ladder truck or a bucket truck from driving right up to the fence, equipped with rope ladders and such, and easily helping people over the top? Such equipment is used by tree trimmers, roofers, and gutter cleaning services, and would not seem at all out of place on that road.”””

Sorry- ANY such vehicles would be VERY OUT OF PLACE on that remote road.

I have ridden horseback close enough to the border to SEE it. Westbound from El Paso. Horseback at 7 mph sure is slow enough to see what I am talking about. That was over 30 years ago, and things have ONLY GOTTEN WORSE.

The areas near cities are what you are seeing on TV. The areas along the rest of the border are remote-—ask ranchers down there. Especially the ones who NOW CARRY each & EVERY DAY. Even the women on the ranches are carrying. Too many surprise intruders.

I have no idea what it was like 30 years ago, but all you need to do is watch the video - that was a busy street.

Anyway, my question already got answered: there will be another wall - almost twice as high - deeper into US territory, to provide a “no fly zone” and allow for patrolling. Anyone spotted in this buffer zone would definitely be out of place - and trespassing to boot. Plus, thanks to the primary wall, they would not have any heavy equipment at their disposal.
