I wish I could just take that at face value. Sure, that’s one image of a Minuteman fence, but CNN shows other images of something that’s allegedly electrical conduit stuck in the ground, and others that are little more than sticks standing haphazardly. And yet others that are nothing more than barbed-wire fencing (of which I’ve installed more than my fair share during my life).

I’d like to see something from a reasonably unbiased source on this.

CNN is lying? Thank you, Mr. Obvious, for pointing out this unusual fact.

The fence shown at your link has some design flaws that make it easy to defeat. It would be easy to go through this fence with a set of wire cutters or a shovel.

Looks like a cow fence to me. From your link:

It should be built like this.

Great post. It’s not the Berlin Wall but it certainly looks difficult to get over.

“Here are photos. CNN is lying”

I want to think they are but look about 1/4 of the way down the page (your link).

"Almost two years later, the reality is a five-strand barbed-wire barrier that ranchers dismiss as a mere cattle fence......

Picture from the site you provided looks like the above statement in the article to me.

The Minutemen have been working since 2006 on the construction of a reliable, practical and affordable demonstration border fence built with donations from people just like you. These generous patriots have paved the way to a secure and safe America. You can make a difference you can show the U.S. government that fences do work! You can help get the job done right by donating to the Minutemen Border Fence.

I went to the link. You are joking, right? That fence in the photo gallery looks pretty easy to climb. What is it, 10 ft. tall? A mass of hand/foot holes? I don't see any "barbed wire".

Maybe I clicked the wrong "Photo Gallery" link.
