A mainstream Arizona newspaper is decrying the small section of the Arizona-Mexico border that has a 14-foot-high primary fence because it is too high for illegal immigrants to safely cross. The article, “Border Fence Jumpers Breaking Bones,” includes the claim that sections of the border with a 14-foot-high fence are “as tall as a two or three-story house” and tells the stories of several women who broke bones and were treated extensively to healthcare and surgeries at the expense of U.S. taxpayers. The writer never mentions any lives directly lost as a result of there not being a border fence in most sections, such as when Mexican nationals crossed into the U.S. and murdered father and husband Robert Rosas, a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
The article in question was written by Perla Trevizo for the Arizona Daily Star. In the excerpt below, note the section’s subtitle and the casual mention that the foreign woman had been deported multiple times prior:

Oh, so you mean it needs to be electrified BEFORE they reach the OSHA 6 foot rule?
ReplyDeleteOSHA compliant border fence? REALLY? Do we need to supply proper scaffolding and ladders to be OSHA compliant so they won't sue us when they try to climb "unclimbable" fences?
ReplyDeleteREALLY?
Isn't the "fence" there for the purpose of keeping climbers from getting over the fence?
What, exactly, am I missing here?
Put a couple of strings of razor wire throughout the entire length of the fence. One at the top and one to snag em at the bottom. Then hire the Delaware punkin chunker guys to hurl them back over the fence into el Mexicoco, if they somehow get past the razor wire or...... just shoot em before they climb up to high so their illegal corpse falls back down on the Mexican side. Si?
