They won’t have any problem ... just a short delay since most of the border with that fence is unmanned. Wire by itself is a worthless exercise in vanity. Troops with weapons loaded need to be along all of the new fence line - or just forget it.

With today’s technology does every last foot of the border have to have someone standing there waiting for someone to approach the fence.

Is it not possible that we have aircraft (and drones) that can fly over the desert and perhaps “see” people at which point agents can be directed to intercept?

Just saying, we do not know everything going on.

Who says it’s unmanned? Anyway, a few bursts of water cannon will make it VERY DIFFICULT to cut and climb, particularly if it’s ‘skunk water’.

I forget the acronym - but I found some military class notes talking about just that. This is a delaying barrier, and is useless without armed security. However - it would give our folks a fighting chance to catch them as they are trying to cut the razor wire as we patrol a section of the fence.

And that will be a tough job I would think working from the top down - maybe with a rope tied around your legs and lowered from the other side - cutting head first? I know I wouldn’t last very long in that position! Too tall and akward to hoist a ladder over the top I would think.
