Journalist Carolina Rocha of Azteca Noticias in Mexico City was in Nogales, Arizona, reporting on the US Border Patrol’s use of force 16 March when she spotted two young men in black T-shirts and jeans climbing down the fence in daylight. Footage shows them carrying large backpacks that were likely holding drugs, walking while hunched over and then hiding behind some bushes and talking on what appears to be a phone before realizing the camera was recording.

With night vision goggles.

In daylight, spotters can keep track of the Border Patrols and radio in to the mules. They didn't count on the extra cameras from the new reporters (no uniform).

Cameras on both side with shots of border patrol etal?
Someone wants to use this to make a case for a police state.

And are assuming that the video presented occurred simultaneously and in chronological order.

Pay some young athletic men $2,000 to scale the wall 10X over the next few weeks - find a camera crew filming them and scoot back over the wall to avoid the boarder control agent​s.

Now everyone is screeming at Congress to fund and build the needless boondoggle wall. My God there are swarms of Mexican damp backs coming to murder white men, rape white women, and illegally vote for liberals.

Fear - hate and more fear and hate again.

of a wall and people climbing over it. It was like a test - if you could get over the wall, you are able bodied and can harvest crops.
