The US Border Patrol released a video in which a group of 118 undocumented aliens was seen jumping the wall with Mexico in the state of Arizona with the assistance of a “coyote: who provided them with a ladder.
In the 55-second video, you can see how the migrants climb the wall in the Yuma sector, in Arizona, with the help of a ladder that is placed on the Mexican side and when arriving at the top the undocumented aliens slowly fall towards the American territory.
Shortly after crossing the border illegally, in an incident that occurred last Monday, Patrol agents detained the migrants.
“98% of the migrants in this group are originally from Guatemala, 86% were traveling in family groups,” José Garibay, spokesperson for the Yuma Sector Border Patrol reported.
“A few others also dug below the wall to cross,” the spokesman said of a recent event in the same region.
In this area, the border wall measures approximately 16 feet high and the place where the migrants crossed is half a mile from where last week, border agents arrested a group of 376 Central American immigrants.
Garibay said that there are more frequent cases of migrants who use ladders or dig underneath to get around the wall, especially in areas where there is no concrete reinforcement at their base.
The video is released when the partial government shutdown continues due to the lack of understanding between Republicans and Democrats about a budget of 5.7 billion dollars that President Donald Trump insists on getting to start building a wall in the border with Mexico.
This video proves that a wall is necessary in the southern states to prevent more illegal crossing into the US. The problem we are dealing with is not just illegal immigration; there are illicit drugs flowing through our borders, human trafficking, and dangerous cartels exploiting vulnerable women and children. The biggest takeaway: We need the wall and the wall will work.
