Many along this stretch of the border near Juarez were looking to turn themselves in to border patrol, while others have hired smugglers to try to evade agents. One smuggler spoke with CBS News on condition of anonymity. Even with the risk of being deported, they still want to try.
Family members in the U.S. tell them to keep trying, he said. His operation includes ladders to scale the wall, with peep holes to watch for border patrol — about $1,000 a try.
In six months, he said 80 to 100 people have paid him to cross the border.
Smugglers in Juárez have engineered camouflage hook-and-ladders made of rebar that blend in so well with the border wall that it can be hard to detect, according to U.S. Border Patrol. The ladders are the same rust brown color as the mesh panels or steel beams of the fence.
El Paso’s urban stretch of border is littered with the rusted rebar ladders at the base on both sides — ladders lying in wait on the Mexican side, ladders pulled down by border agents or abandoned by smugglers on the U.S. side. One of the rebar ladders was poking out of a dumpster in a lot near the Chihuahuita neighborhood on Thursday.
“Somebody is making money off those ladders,” said Agent Joe Romero, pointing to a mangled version tossed in the dirt on the U.S. side. “The agents pulled it off the wall and cut it up so it can’t be used again.”
A video from this morning shows not one or two but hundreds of illegals climbing the US-Mexican border.
Video below:
The ladders appear to be made with two poles of 3/8-inch rebar and four thinner poles, outfitted with steps and bent over at the end in a U, to hook on the top of the wall. It’s the sort of cubed rebar support structure used in construction in Mexico, called castillo.
At least fire hoses.
one pretty nice vehicles in the pic.
Lot of cars there for a secret operation.
The MSM only tells us what it wants us to believe...even if they have to make it up. Al Jazeera is more honest. Really.
The agents are busy processing aliens and baby sitting unaccompanied kids'.
As far as electrifying the fence, are you nuts? Every house in Mexico north of Mexico City would have an extension cord attached to it. Not enough electricity left to zot a nat.
And don't even think about a mote with alligators it. The Mexicans would turn the alligators into fajita, belts and boots.
Yes, I don't understand why we don't use water cannons in the rioting cities anymore. It would be more difficult to enforce the border in rural areas because of lack of water. Still, they could be used in and around the major points of entry like Rio Grande, El Paso, Yuma, and Tijuana.
Remember Covid? Remember ongoing lockdowns?
If THEY don’t need vaccine passports, why do we?
The rebar should be collected and made into more wall.
It’s an invasion pure and simple; and the B/H admin wants our guns.

I'm not sure that is viable since Biteme stopped the construction. I think a simple solution like they did in San Diego/Imperial Beach is concertina wire on top of their new wall. No one tries to scale that anymore. Remember when the massing illegals were climbing the wall next to the ocean? When's the last time you heard of that?
Texas has the castle doctrine. Shoot the mojados.
A-10 Warthogs. A few BRRAAAPPPPs into the empty desert would send a stern message.
America, has become a big shopping mall for the rest of the world to loot.
So brave! Heroes one and all!
There are hundreds of miles of wall, which is meant to be a full double wall with a road between, and electronic and airborne surveillance, when it was being completed and manned by well directed Border Patrol agents. This is now over.
Biden is betraying the citizens of the United States with his ridiculous ideologically driven policy of denying the rule of law and promoting drug running, human trafficking, and sexual slavery.
The only possible solution would be to return to the Trump border security policies and initiatives, immediately! Biden’s actions are meant to destroy civil authority in the Border States, and to overwhelm social services across the nation.
Interesting the lengths the Democrats will go to keep this insane travesty from expanding and worsening its destruction.
Why all this talk about demanding a $15 an hour minimum wage when these coming in will work for far less, in cash and off the books.
Sounds like the Biden admin(snigger. Opps! Can I use that word?) is undercutting the American Worker for illegal workers.
Perhaps we could make a deal with Nicaragua to import thousands of their fresh water sharks and free them in the Rio Grande.
