The wall ends at the base of the mountain and can be seen in Google Earth at 31.783921°N, -106.558309°W. Illegals can just walk around the end of it or hike up the back side of the mountain. The statue of Jesus is about 1/4 mile north of the border.

Before this section of the wall was built Union Pacific inter-modal trains with containers bound for Kansas, Dallas or Houston would stop opposite this location waiting to arrive in El Paso for fueling. Gangs would cross the border, climb on the train, open containers and throw boxes to their accomplices. That no longer happens because in addition to the fence, UP build a large fuel terminal to the west at Santa Teresa and trains do not stop and wait any more. However, even though the robbers are gone, the criminal smugglers now control the scene.

A tourist who rides Amtrak can see the fence up close as the tracks are only 25 feet from the border.

Now they can, yes. But not when Trump was Pres. and BP active.
