More than two years after a precedent-setting move by the federal government cleared a path around environmental laws and legal challenges, the construction of a stretch of border fence across a deep canyon known as Smuggler's Gulch is set to begin next month.
Proposed additional fencing The project will require cutting earth from surrounding hills and filling in the canyon with more than 2 million cubic yards of dirt, an operation so large that critics fear disastrous environmental consequences.

But all those illegals traipsing through and leaving their biological and regular garbage cause no environmental damage.

After reading the article, it says a 15’ high fence. Sounds good - just looks small.

How ‘bout rigging the whole area with landmines ? (I say straight-faced after spending the last 3 hours being audiologically raped to the point of vomiting by our ILLEGAL f*ckwit neighbors).

To heck with the actual border, fall back and build it
on the defensible high ground, build the border as a
military line.

Looks pretty desolate out there.
Probably wouldn't hurt to run a couple hundred volt through that thing-just in case!

All along the border, amongst the well worn paths used by human traffickers and their merchandise, there are trees adorned with bras and panties hanging from the branches. These are called "rape trees". They mark the places where the women members of the cargo are gang raped as a right of passage on entering the U.S.

I understand why we need a fence but I don’t understand how we need to give up American land. Some curvey fence.

Nope.

I couldn't read the name of the company doing the work. Can someone tell me it's not a Mexican or other ‘friendly’ nation doing the installation?? It wouldn't surprise me a bit if a Mexican or even a Chinese company won the bid for the job.
