This can’t be true, don’t believe your lying eyes.

I have it on good authority that such fences do not work. Just ran across that on a Perry thread, where Perry’s opposition to a border fence was justified for that very reason.

Didn’t Perry say that if you build a 30-foot fence, they’ll bring a 32-foot ladder?

Seems to me a fall of 30 feet down the other side would slow down a border jumper enough to make it pretty easy for the Border Patrol to catch them, pick them up, and throw them back over the fence.

While I think the "buy a bigger ladder" defense is stupid, google Rio Grande pics. I would be very pissed as a Texan if the Federal government put a fence along Texas southern border.

It works in many places but not along the Rio Grande.
