Also, roads blasted into previously unreachable areas are making border crossing easier.

this marvelous feat at Alamo while Chump is visiting today. "Look what we can do, Mr. pResident!"

The rush to complete President Trump's border wall with Mexico is in some places worse than pointless, campaigners have told Insider.
In order to reach the border, contractors have blasted roads into terrain that was once rugged and impassable.
However, some areas still have no barrier erected, with work likely to stop when Trump leaves office. But the roads will remain.
Customs and Border Protection officials defended their approach, but it is hard not to conclude that these parts of the US-Mexico border are easier to penetrate now than in 2016.

difficult is the color and heat. But with protective gear, it can still be scaled and repelled down.

special tools.
Every time I heard the murdering thug nattering about his wall, I remembered a comment from a proposal years ago about a 50 ft. Wall. "50 ft. Wall, meet 51 ft. Ladder". And then, of course, there are the tunnels.
