President Donald Trump, only a day after walking back his pledge to shut all ports of entry along the country's border to Mexico, visited U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials in California, where he seemed to challenge immigrants to scale the fencing and walls along the border.
Trump spent Friday afternoon in Calexico, California, located on the border with Mexico, across from the much larger city of Mexicali. According to the Washington Post, the president was on hand to visit a new two-mile section of border fencing. However, the new structure is not part of Trump's often-promised wall. Rather, notes the Post, it is a long-planned replacement for older fencing in that area.
While the president may think a sharp-edged wall would deter illegal border crossings, immigrants have long risked their health and lives to enter the U.S. at various points along its shared border with Mexico. "She had climbed a ladder on the other side of the steel border wall, but was unable to hold on to the structure and fell down from a height of about 24 feet," he writes of the woman who had broken both legs in the fall. "We were told that she had been lying there for two hours when a Border Patrol agent found her."
