Razor wire now covers border wall where 'vanguard' of migrant caravan taunted U.S.

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.

Homeland Security released photos that show the concertina wire at the top and base of the fence on the U.S. side, as well as a second layer on the sandy beach further inside the U.S.

A little late. But at least they did something to prevent further excursions!

Screw razor wire - shoot the bastards! Wait for them to get to the top, then put a .308 round right through their head. We kill enough of these Mexitrash pukes, and they’ll stop this crap. It’s the time to spill blood - lots of it.

Do they interdict swimmers, or rafts, perhaps originating from the US?

Extended razor wire and erected barricades also at the point of entry near San Diego, California

Razor wire at the border in San Ysidro

Add a little electric current as a surprise for the wire cutters.

Where are the border agents? If the invaders know the easiest points to gain entry, shouldn’t our “expert” security agents know to expect them there? Why not just have a couple guys sit there and shoot anybody that climbs the wall with bean bags or paint balls? If they fall on this side we throw ‘em back over.

We need a Homeland Security leader who will actually Secure The Homeland!

There’s a reason you aren’t on the front line facing this off......I suggest you calm down your itchy fingers....you’re way too eager and that can get you into trouble.

We are going to lose this country to these invaders, because none of our so-called “leaders” are willing to stop the invasion. Rather, both the Republicans and the Democrats are “eager” to bring in as many as possible, so do reduce real Americans to slavery, because the only agenda that is STILL being advanced is that of the globalists.

This country is marked for assimilation into the godless, communist, UN-controlled and directed collective - and there is nothing but lip service coming from D.C. The American people are being betrayed, right this moment now. Unless Americans take direct action to stop this process, then I guarantee that, within 25 years, the United States as we know it will be gone.

Electric fencing is a pain to maintain.
