The City Council in Nogales, which sits on the border with Nogales, Mexico, wants the federal government to remove all concertina wire installed within the city limits. Otherwise, Nogales Mayor Arturo Garino said the city will sue. City officials say Army troops installed more horizontal layers of the wire along the border wall last weekend. The council's resolution says the razor wire would harm or kill anyone who scales the wall and "is only found in a war, prison or battle setting" and should not be in downtown Nogales. In a statement, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the wire was added after a request "for additional support in high-risk urban areas commonly exploited by criminal smuggling organizations." It did not say who made the request. The new wire is being added to sections outside city limits, according to a CBP spokeswoman. In locations where there is high pedestrian activity, the concertina wire is limited to only the upper portion of the wall, she wrote.

....azzhole mayor isn’t getting his cartel cut...
Uh, and their point?
The border is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, not the City of Nogales.
From the article: “....The council’s resolution says the razor wire would harm or kill anyone who scales the wall and “is only found in a war, prison or battle setting” and should not be in downtown Nogales.”
Guess what Nogales, you are in a “war”, “battle zone”.
Yeah, I’m sure that the number of deaths and accidents will fall to something at or near one very desired number. Zero.
Translation: razor wire works.
.....”is only found in a war, prison or battle setting”......
It IS war, you Bozo!!!!
Also pretty useful in repelling invasions.
That's the point.....................
Remove the concertina wire. Install claymores.
Fund the wall and it will be replaced with a much more palatable wall... that you can paint with your culturally appropriated murals... or your Che Guevara posters... or whatever...
Well-when your insurance company does the demographic studies for your ‘neighborhood’ and your policy premium hits the stratosphere... we can revisit this conversation
Uh, no.
Didn’t Obamugabe tell Arizona that immigration was reserved exclusively for the Federal government.
Something about a referendum out there that was voted and passed by the citizens?
Just move Nogales back 5 or 6 miles.....problem solved....mayor must be losing his head tax....
The whores get scratched up climbing back and forth every night.
They need to be made to feel the pain, economically. Send ‘em the bill.
MFers will have ICE on speed dial before you know it.
Put the wire around Nogales.
