Apparently, the fence can be cut on either side where the panel is attached to the poles, then it just rotates on the middle pole, like a swinging door. the illegals hide on one side, when the patrol goes by, then they just push the panel open a foot or so, and come on in. start asking some quesitons mr. ross. i can't give you my name in fear of reprisal from my employer.

I feel we have one and we have started to impliment the first steps of a very long process. When I get into Yuma if you want I am more then willing to sit down and share with you the why to the illegal immigration problem that we face as well as to what extent that I can to explain to you the solution. If your interested send me an e-mail, then later we can decide when we can meet.

For the money spent on an ugly metal barrier that already has holes and breaches, they could have done far better with water and beaches. Envision an inland water wonderland and recreation area. Wasn't there always talk of making Yuma a seaport in the past? What a perfect opportunity to make that happen. With water comes resorts, with resorts come people needing creature comforts, and with people’s needs come employment and business opportunities on both sides of the border. If they work it right, Yuma could become a really popular recreational area that people would trade for trips to San Diego, El Golfo, and many more outlying recreation areas, and think of the ecological savings in fuel. Instead of heading across the border to the gulf to enjoy the breeze off of the ocean, bring the ocean to the border. We’re going to get the monsoon moisture in the summer anyway, let’s consider the advantages of working with the elements. Just a thought.

I got jealous, as I knew I had more than an hour wait before crossing. Penn and Teller hired a group of illegals to spend a day building a replica section of fence, then broke them into teams to compete going over, under, and through that fence. It had taken a day to build, and minutes to bypass. The only barriers that will prevent crossing are social and economic ones that remove the incentive.
