'A 2,000-mile wall is a monument to stupidly, not just vanity. ... It doesn't solve the problem,' says California's Democratic Gov. GavinNewsom on President Trump's continued quest to build a wall along the Southern border.
The US-Mexico border fence stretches into the countryside near Nogales, Arizona, in March 2013.
Out west, between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, there’s high double fencing to deter people from crossing illegally. Part of the fence goes right through the beach and continues into a section of the Pacific Ocean. A US Border Patrol vehicle monitors an opening in the border fence near McAllen, Texas, in January 2017.
The border fence separating San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico, extends into the Pacific Ocean in May 2017. Moore said the area is heavily surveilled from the American side, with tower-mounted cameras and frequent helicopter patrols. “Occasionally someone tries to swim around the fence, but often they have to get rescued or they are quickly taken into custody by Border Patrol agents,” he said. “It’s one of the most secure spots of the entire US-Mexico border.
