Border Wall Update
Here's a look at the hysterical border wall construction about 10 miles west of Lukeville, AZ. Mexico Highway 2 is about 50 meters to the south. While
I was taking photos, a helpful representative of the US Government drove up and explained that I was in a restricted area (there were no signs,
barricades, etc). We both left the location until he was out of sight.
There are long sections of new wall, then long sections of no wall.
A more aggressive border wall just east of Naco, AZ. Note the sensors on the left wall (secondary wall).
A section of virgin border wall farther west from Lukeville.

Looks like they actually wised up and put the concertina wire on the US side, so the Mexicans don't steal it and sell it as easily as in TJ.

Genesis 10
Genesis 11
Genesis 32:8
Joshua 13
What 'god' are you appealing to?
I think the God of the Bible is less concerned with the concept of borders and division that He advocated and more concerned with our penchant to
worship at the alter of convenience through the abortion of 53 million of our offspring since the 70's.
And isn't it a little curious that we advocate the importation of a similar number through 'immigration' at the same time in the name of mercy?

Gimme that Old Time Religion ?
Love your Brother and Kill those other Mothers !
Face it. Whatever any "Good Book" Preaches, God's obviously into killing them alien "Sons of Beeches".
And, he's made the art of killing easier and better through the Millenia.
Hallelujah - Praise the Lord - Amen and A-M-F !

Back in 2001 I decided to check out the Mexican border somewhere in New Mexico. It was nothing more than a barbed wire fence with periodic marker
monuments. http://octopup.org/sw2001/808

In the 1960s, we drove across to do some rock hounding... from south of Ocotillo, CA. and off Hwy. 98. The dirt road just crossed the border and there
was a rock pile with MEX painted on one side and USA painted on the other. We were going to a site called 'Agate Mountain' (there was lots of
petrified wood laying about, too).

If you go hiking/climbing at valley of the moon (east of jacumba) and the scarp to east of valley, you can see some of the old-timey border, no fence
or just a rickety old waist high barb wire.
Problem is the area is crawling with homeland security gestapo,... so beware!
Woke!

Here's a Photo Sphere (aka Street View) that I shot along the virgin border fence. Good looking Sonoran Desert, eh?

I think these 3 folks might have a different story to tell about "effectiveness" of border walls. LOL
