Hours after images of migrants climbing a border wall in San Diego went viral, the Homeland Security Department deployed razor wire Wednesday to prevent a repeat.
The immigrants, who said they were the vanguard of the caravans streaming north through Mexico, ascended the fence Tuesday in a display of defiance. Video and photos showed them cheering and jeering atop the slat-style fence.
Although no arrests or confrontations were reported, Homeland Security took immediate steps to try to keep others from climbing by deploying concertina wire, which coils over itself, creating a thorough barrier.
“As we have said repeatedly, being a member of a caravan doesn’t give you any special rights to enter the country,” said Katie Waldman, Homeland Security spokeswoman.

Nicely done.
It’s a start.
Never understood why that razor wire wasn’t there decades ago.....
They should have done that long ago along the entire border. Further, announce that anyone insisting on going through that will be treated as a serious and immediate threat. Shoot them.
Good idea, but should have been added years ago. Also looks like if they just walk a few feet into the water they can climb to their heart’s content.
Need another 2,000 miles of the stuff.
That’ll leave a mark.
so where did the illegal aliens go ?
Damn Right, Skippy!
my question as well.
Back To T.J.
Should have been done decades ago
I’m surprised California didn’t call out the National Guard to stop them. Is that a ballot in that guys hand?
America needs to bring back convict labor.
Great start. But now ELECTRIFY the razor wire so it cannot be cut or removed.
Nice....they are taking wall selfies..
Yep.
Some enterprising patriot needs chum those waters 24/7.
Keep the Bull sharks and great whites hanging around.
Must be dipped in Dog Poop to work correctly.
Couldn’t you just toss a heavy blanket over the wire at the place you want to climb?
