That's pretty rough terrain - there are/were easier crossings.
If the border isn’t secured, Mexico will build a superhighway and probably a railroad to the area, throw a bridge across, and connect to the nearest major highway on the U.S. side.
The democrats and environmentalists will not raise an objection.
A wall might not be the only option. Anti-personnel mines and drones with lethal armaments might work.
Or we could demand that Mexico establish a militarized zone on its side of the river. We can do it ourselves if Mexico won’t.
the irony is that the roads being built in order to build the wall actually help those who are crossing illegally.
before it was just a 100+ miles of desert and nothing, now they can simply for the road. Still a long walk, but at least they are not wondering amlessly
Been there a couple of times. It is rugged . . . and parts of it are beautiful.
My opinion is that a border fence is a necessary addition to some of the wide open areas along the border. The beautiful and dramatic areas can otherwise be left alone and patroled by Border Patrol. Just getting to Big Bend from the Mexican interior will be a chore. (Heck, driving my motorcycle from Oklahoma was hard enough!)
President Donald Trump’s administration announced Monday that it is pausing all border construction in Big Bend National Park following bipartisan backlash over the project’s potential impact on the West Texas wilderness.
