Provides a status of the border fence in the Otay Mountain area between Tijuana and Tecate for November, 2019. On September 16, 2019, General Semonite, commander of the Army Corps of Engineers said during a news conference at the border fence in San Diego that a new fence is planned for this stretch of the border next year.

In this clip, scenes are shown of the existing border fence as it is in October, 2019, near Campo, California. This clip deals with a stretch of about 17 miles in total, running from the outskirts of Tecate to the community of Boulevard. Campo is a small border town of about 3,000 inhabitants in the mountains about 35 miles east of San Diego. The border fence is not in good condition here, but I want to show the best and the worst. The public needs to know what the bad parts are, also, not just the good. Hopefully, a new fence in Campo will be built before long.
NOTE: None of the fence shown in this video was constructed during the Trump term in office. It’s not meant to be anti-Trump or pro-Trump, just the reality of what the fence looks like now. The only exception is that the Army Corps of Engineers added the concertina wire to the existing fence last winter.

For almost a year from Fall of 2018 through 2019, I tired to find out whether armed troops were really guarding our border as has been claimed. Learn the results in this video with also some explanation of the Posse Comitatus Act. The Posse Comitatus Act forbids use of troops to enforce domestic law. However, there are exceptions to the law for civil disturbances and terrorist attacks. A exception may also be needed for the president to be able to send armed troops to guard our border directly against mass illegal crossings by hundreds of thousands of foreigners, which could justifiably be called an unarmed “invasion”.
This is a document analyzing the Posse Comitatus Act by the Congressional Research Service.

Took video of this Tijuana resident spraying the new border fence with some liquid. I speculate that he’s trying to make it corrode faster. What do you think

A five-mile border fence is being constructed on the Colorado River, where the gap is actually about twelve miles wide. More than six of the miles where there will be no pedestrian fence would be on an Indian reservation and another mile will be to the north of Morelos Dam where the river can be waded with ease.
This section of the border is easily accessible via Mexican highway 2 that runs parallel to the border in this area. It is also near populated areas, Yuma on the US side and the Mexican towns of San Luis Rio Colorado and Los Algodones, making it a convenient place for illegal border crossing. This particular section has historically had a high rate of illegal crossing.
The US Customs and Border Protection spokesman for public affairs for the Yuma sector, Vincent Dulesky, said there is no funding for the seven-mile gap that will remain and and a fence is not being considered for these gaps in the border fence at this time.
