“I fell from 40 ft. during military training. Thankfully, I knew how to lesson the damage”
Feet and knees together, execute a good parachute landing fall, and sound off with a loud and thunderous AIRBORNE!
Thanks for your service, brother.
“Those bollard sections are going to require lots of shelter areas for the Border Patrol to work from. Otherwise they’ll be gunned down.”
If someone shoots a Border Patrol Officer, they can expect a determined investigation, and likely a coordinated operation against that area of the border. So it does not benefit cartels. There has been some shooting however.
The biggest causes of injuries for Border Patrol are border crossers resisting arrest, and Jose six pack throwing rocks. They have found that the visibility of the bollards keeps rock throwers back out of range, and intimidates them - the Border Patrol has guns, and the rock throwers generally don’t.
Nonetheless, they have a variety of body armor, vehicle protection and small shelters to park vehicles. If an area heats up, added protection can be rolled out pretty quickly.
BP = Border Patrol.........but you knew that.....LOL!

I bet they’re shaking in their boots!
Why don’t we tell these invaders there are no free anything on this side of the wall? Maybe they won’t come.

Sounds great, in theory.
The problem is that their cousins, siblings, aunt and uncles are telling them (truthfully), that that ain’t the case. :(
Because even if the government didn’t, there would be other entities that did. And those invaders wouldn’t believe us anyway as we have a multigenerational reputation of being a soft touch.
