'Disgusting' razor wire must go, say U.S. border city residents

From the article:

When Sherrie Nixon saw the six strands of razor wire strung along the U.S.-Mexico border fence in her Arizona city, she said she wanted to cry.
“They’re turning our town into a military base. It’s like the front lines of some kind of war zone,” Nixon, 68, told the Nogales City Council on Wednesday night. “Please take a stand and at least have them get rid of the razor wire. It’s a public nuisance, it’s lethal.”
Minutes later, the council unanimously passed a resolution condemning the use of the concertina wire as an indiscriminate use of lethal force normally reserved for battlefields and high-security prisons.

maybe that's what they'll do in Big Bend National Park, since it would be hard to put much of a wall there.

They want to run dozers through that beautiful landscape because we love it. Seriously, they do.
