UN Mexicans Are Stealing Border Wall Materials, Using Them For Home Security - LOL DRUMPF *CLAP* OWNED *CLAP*

Whatever adjectives you might use to describe a border wall ― “big” or perhaps even “beautiful” ― “readily stolen” is not likely one of them.

Unnamed Mexican officials told San Diego’s KUSI-TV that 15 to 20 people have been arrested for stealing concertina wire from the U.S.-Mexico border and selling it to security-minded homeowners in Tijuana.

U.S. troops installed the fencing in November 2018 at the urging of President Donald Trump, who was concerned about a “caravan” of migrants.

“We have detected that the barbed wire that was installed in the border area is no longer there,” Marco Antonio Sotomayor Amezcua, the secretary of public safety in Tijuana, confirmed to the San Diego Union-Tribune. “We know about the stealing of the concertina [wire] from United States authorities who have asked us for help through the liaison staff.”

Though Mexican authorities told the Union-Tribune that those arrested were mostly Mexican citizens, one Tijuana resident who had the wire installed said the man who sold it to her sure didn’t seem Mexican.

The woman, identified as “Veronica,” told the newspaper El Sol de Tijuana that the man had blue eyes, blonde hair, and didn’t speak Spanish well.

The residents paid 40 pesos to have the razor-sharp fencing material installed outside their homes, reported Tijuana’s XEWT-12 TV. That’s equivalent to $2.10.

I like how smugly this article is presented despite it just showing Mexico being a dilapidated shithole where people are desperate enough to steal barbed wire to protect their houses.

Also, when I looked this up, the fourth result was a Stormfront thread from 2009.

I know some guys who went to Iraq and Afghanistan. Part of the "Hearts and Minds" mission was building new facilities for the locals' benefit. If you turned your back on the construction site for longer than 30 seconds, someone will have run off with an armful of metal that they tore out of the drywall.

That happens in other Western countries as well, though they usually wait until nightfall before pilfering from construction sites, unguarded buildings, and cemeteries (historic and ancient crypts are popular targets) - if it can be sold for scrap, its in danger in areas full of poor people.

Shit, wasn't there a canidate running for presidency in Mexico who vowed to build their own wall at the southern border or something? What happened to him?

Probably threatened by the cartel. I think besides building a wall he also wanted to deal with the cartel so he was obviously bad for their operations. If I know who you're talking about I think he also wanted help from the US military to help locate and stop them.

I mean, I can't hate them for it if they want to be isolationist as well. I actually think this is worthy of props even if they're being fucking thieves. I'd probably resort to the same thing if I was in their shoes. I practically resort to the same thing minus the theft part NOW and I live in America.

Are they using it to keep out the other South Americans from entering their home? They're more pro Trump than I thought.

Central Americans. It's Central Americans the ones who invade their countries.

South Americans don't invade Mexico, but they hate them nevertheless.
