Video Shows Women Climbing U.S.-Mexico Border Fence in Less Than 18 Seconds

Less than 18 seconds. That's how long it took two young women to climb a U.S.-Mexico border fence that costs millions of dollars in taxpayer money.

In a video shot by filmmaker Roy Germano, two women show how easy it is to reach the top by climbing the fence's concrete-filled steel pipes in less than 18 seconds, MyFoxHouston.com reports.

Very physically fit women.

“...it is all about supply and demand...”

to a degree, but I think the lure of a better life, the public dole and anchor babies provide the most motivation.

That idea would clearly pay for itself as a tourist attraction.

Best of all, we could have Fonzie jump over the moat every year when we celebrate its completion. It’s a win-win situation for everybody, if you include the Fonz! Ayyyyy!

I’m amazed the fence doesn’t have a gate

I believe that the work ethic is stronger in Hispanics than many Americans who are themselves heavy on the public dole, thus the opportunities available.

Education, yes all parents want that for their children and access to exceptional medical care--so for those reasons combined they seek our America. Perhaps this is where privately run [aka corporate] education would benefit over government owned. "Opening soon a new school by you." Worldwide projection.

And perhaps I am painting too broad a brush stroke as well..but I do think being in poverty with a neighbor who seems to have all the riches makes one want to reach for the same golden ring.

Past Mexico's President Fox granting duel citizenship was the cherry on top.

But you follow the money and the money is in America.

Designed by DemocRATS. There are all kinds of fencing and wall designs that would be extremely effective at keeping illegals out. The Israelis are pretty good at building them. Our engineers would be just as good at building them as the Israelis are, better even — if only the RATS would let them.

I’d bet good money that both of those girls are rock climbers.

The Mexican invasion does not set a precedent. Foreign nationals through legal and illegal means have been besieging the American borders for many years. Hispanic and African citizens have been in the forefront, but also Asians have been in the mix.

When all the world puts down the US, it is noted by conservatives that we are the one country in the world where all the world wants to live, and no one wants to leave.

The fence should be made of steel replicas of these:

Our states are divided on immigration.

My state has now put back into effect that government authorities may ask residence status, and even though we do not have that many illegal immigrants in our state, it was to discourage others from coming here. This was also to discourage people coming here from PA or where ever looking for handouts. That was the first promise put into effect by the new governor of Maine. Of course the NAACP are here up in arms and other liberal groups charging prejudice especially when the governor attended the memorial services of a law office on MLK Day instead of attending breakfast lunch or dinner events with the NAACP.
As this was voiced in the negative in the media, the governor replied if they didn't like it they could kiss his butt..lol

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
