American and Mexican leaders reached a deal a year ago this week to start arresting, prosecuting, and seeking damages from anyone caught attempting to destroy border barrier in southeastern California, where Border Patrol made $396,000 worth of repairs at 1,300 cuts in its fence in fiscal 2019.

I like it! Finally, some punishment of offenders and collection of money from Mexico!

Knock themselves out. I’m pretty sure destroying the wall would take much more time, effort and money that building it.
