Half-mile drug-smuggling tunnel connecting Tijuana to San Diego shut down by Border Patrol

2. Walls? Merely decorations and a way to funnel federal money to select contractors

In our area, locals on the south side of the wall have used it for a canvas. Lots of vibrant colorful paintings on it. We also have a cross-border musical event about every year. Families and friends gather on both sides, hold hands between the bollards, pass tasty treats, sing, dance.... Sometimes people show how easy it is to get thru the wall with a Saws-All, or over the wall with ladders (once someone showed an SUV could conquer the wall with help of some easy to bring ramps)

Decades ago, not far from where I live, officials discovered a tunnel big enough to drive small trucks thru. Officials have always known walls don't work, but they do cause the deaths of wildlife by cutting off traditional routes to water, grazing, and ways for predators to just follow their prey.

Walls? Boondoggles and marketing ploy/diversion for the party that never has any real solutions to our problems.
