    Here's What the U.S.-Mexico Border Looks Like Pre-Trump

    Here's What the U.S.-Mexico Border Looks Like Pre-Trump

    Now that the election is over, the question is whether Donald Trump will actually build a barrier. Here's what the border looks like now.

    4. U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel walk along a section of the recently-constructed fence at the U.S.-Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona, on Feb. 26, 2013.

    The newest generation of fencing allows Border Patrol agents to see through the fence and is harder to scale from the Mexican side.

    Jackson meets regularly with local ranchers to coordinate the agency's efforts on border issues, including drug smuggling and illegal immigration from Mexico. Bell, a third generation rancher, grazes cattle on nearly ten miles of border property.

    I would like President Trump to set up a Donation Site to buy a "Memorial Brick in the Wall".

    Each brick stamped in "angel wings" in memory of all those US Citizens who have been murdered by illegal aliens.

    Our government has lied to us, we have been left hopeless to secure our border and this is one way we can be involved in getting that Wall built...and get it done once and for all.

    BUILD THAT WALL...TURN THEM RIGHT BACK AROUND

    Those fences are so ugly. Trump won't stand for that. They're a disgrace. We want a beautiful wall. The 8th wonder of the world, peace through strength and beauty.

    So is the invasion of our Country. Mexico is NOT our friend and I am sick and tired of what they have done to our Country, and our border lands strewn with trash, crime and dead bodies.

    I was thinking the same thing when I looked at those photos.

    I thought, "Really? THIS is the best we can do?!? The greatest economic and military power the world has ever seen and THIS is all we can do!?! Are you kidding me!?! We can send hundreds of billions of dollars to countries that hate us and all we can do for a border wall is some broken down chain link fencing!?! I have better fencing around my own house!"

    This is an outrage as far as I'm concerned!!

    . . . and how about the people killed by illegal alien drunk drivers and children raped by illegals? How about the damage done by the drugs they bring in? Or diseases? I could go on and on.

    SECURE THE BORDER!!!
