BS! February 19, 2019, U.S. Customs and Border Protection crews began construction of the San Diego Secondary Wall Project that will replace the existing barriers along the San Diego-Tijuana border Monday, authorities said.
The 14-mile project -- which is not a new wall -- will include replacing existing barriers with new 30-foot-tall steel bollards. The project is directly north to the San Diego primary fence replacement project that is currently under construction, according to CBP.
“These two important barriers, in combination with a patrol road and technology, create an enforcement zone for the USBP as part of a border wall system. Given the high-density population in the San Diego-Tijuana area, the updated border infrastructure is critically needed,” CBP officials stated.

Border patrol apprehends group of 325 migrants near Lukeville
Feb 08, 2019
Look at the current border fence. No security at all!
Lukeville is a small populated place on the U.S.-Mexico border in southern Pima County, Arizona, United States.
The community consists of the Lukeville Port of Entry border crossing into Sonoyta, Sonora, Mexico, together with a gas station, a US Post Office, a duty-free shop, and a stop-over spot for buses that are bound for Phoenix and Tucson.
So what do you think the BP did with those 325 illegals that they caught?
How did they feed them? There are NO beds available in what is not even a town!
This is a more interesting video.
Nov 28, 2015 - Rocky Point aka Puerto Penasco was our goal for a 4 day jaunt into Mexico.
This is our first time driving across the southern USA border, and we have our Aussie Deacon with us as well, but we left the KTM's at home in Colorado. We pick up the action as we enter the southbound customs border crossing.
Evidently, it is never a problem leaving the USA, only coming back, so have your passports up-to-date, and your dogs health certificate that is date within 10 days of your crossing by your vet.
This is a one hour ride through what is called the "Hassle Free Zone" along Sonoran highway 8 to the top of the Sea of Cortez.
Puerto Peñasco is a little fishing village that is popular with residences of Arizona. Clean beaches and friendly Mexicans.
The condos are all owned, and some are rented out by a management company, Seaside Resorts.
We will be staying at Sonoran Sky, but my sister favors Sonoran Sun.
We couldn't find a condo owner that would permit Deacon to be there.
The shrimp here are fresh, caught daily, and are large. You can take up to 50 pounds back across the border, but no plants or pork products.
There is a large motorcycle rally (7000 bikes, mostly Harleys) that go down there in the fall.
For those of us who like to ride off-road, you can rent an ATV for $30+/hour.
Next time I'll bring a KTM to explore some sand dunes. You cannot ride on the beach, except on a horse.
The place is empty after Thanksgiving and before Christmas, when the condo owners are back in the States.
Booze is cheap in town. Mexicans will walk the beach trying to sell you something and in town, there are guys with buckets and rags wanting to wash your car for tips.
It was a great time, and I learned more Spanish.
