Latest border security technology
Part of a vehicle barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border was erected in the wrong country, and a lawmaker is calling for it to be rebuilt on American soil.
Sen. Jeff Bingaman said he only recently was alerted to the partially misplaced barrier, built two years ago by the National Guard just west of Columbus, N.M. In a letter Friday to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Ralph Basham, he demanded that the barrier be replaced before the existing barrier is torn down.
The Boundary Commission is coordinating with Mexican officials and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to reposition the fence.
Tee hee.
So, this was designed, positioned and constructed by the same guys responsible for the “surgical strikes” in Iraq?
Eideard… tell me you didn’t work on that project… 😉
Eideard, is that a picture of a “Trojan Piñata?” 😉
#2 – never worked on a job site south of the Albuquerque Sunport
#3 – Ayup.
How about we just adjust the US border southward. Maybe keep going further and give ourselves an illegal immigrant security buffer zone? I guess it’s pointless, since George Bush and the Democrats are about to pass an amnesty that opens the border.
They got the country wrong? I would never expect this from the U.S. Government.
And you people still wonder why they outsource your jobs?
#3, #4 – I love that image! 🙂

Rambling thoughts I had, then one of them said, “Post them all!”
That “Middle-East” thing isn’t working so well, so let’s go back to bitching about wetbacks taking all the Taco Bell and building-cleaning jobs!!!
Seriously, though – Paris gets out tomorrow, so we’ll have something more interesting to talk about…
Not much of a story, what is the concern? The USA inappropriately appropriated some scrub, surrounded by more scrub?
A Trojan Piñata wouldn’t be a good tactical deployment. To use it, the thing would have to be hung hundreds of feet in the air, and then a broomstick just wouldn’t do. So, the Mexicanos would have to use trebuchets to open it (no trap doors in a piñata). The subsequent fall would injure or kill the occupants. DUH!
Really, seriously, the Mexican government could just cede the territory to the USA, since the rest of the country will become part of the USA some day, anyway.
This brings a new meaning to the phrase: ‘Where’s the fence?’

#8, Jägermeister — Golden State Fence Company? Guess they couldn’t call it the Baja State Fence company.
#7, Angel, Greed, see #8. At least they got caught!
#11 Too freaking obvious… 😉
Eideard – Tee hee? So I’m guessing you don’t pay taxes?
Oh, please. The wall is between one and six feet into Mexico along 1.5 miles of fence. Heck, my neighbor once did the same thing in my backyard by putting his fence one foot too close to my house. I didn’t complain. Heck, let him mow it.
I say that the new land should be annexed. I mean, is Mexico going to start a war with the U.S. over one to six feet of land? Its less than one acre total. If they complain, give them $500.
#8 & #11
True.. I just can’t imagine white people working in a place over 100 degrees..
Cries of “This is Sparta” are muffled by the walls of the HUGE pinyata – We need some action on this one!!! Pronto!
Arrogance, is what you Americans are made of.
Let me rephrase that… Your American government is made of arrogance, and they don’t give a pin for you, citizens, either.
Keep dreaming about annexing land, and invading countries.
Do we hate you? That’s a stupid remark. But a whole bunch of people are not quite happy with your arrogant government. WAKE UP AMERICANS!
It’s not all Football and Miss Hilton you know?
17. Yeah we know, we know. We hate these MFERRS more than you do. But since your govt is worse, what are WE going to do about it.
Couldn’t we just give ’em $20 and buy that part of Mexico?
#17 – Name and address please. If you really believe what you’re saying you should be ready to die for it.
