Razor Wire Effective on Border

Free Image hosting by ImageSnap(San Diego, California) Razor wire added to the fence may not completely secure the border but it sure seems to help.
Three strands of razor sharp wire, along one point two miles of the country's *most* violent section of the border.

The "concertina" wire went up in December on a trial basis, and after five months the border patrol says the impact has been so significant, the concertina will run continuously for five miles between Otay Mesa and San Ysidro.

In fact, the border patrol says the number of injuries to illegals coming over the fence has decreased by nearly half since the concertina went up. Assaults on border patrol agents have gone down 53 percent. And the number of people coming across illegally has decreased by 61 percent.
Sounds like a good plan, eh? Good fences make good neighbors.
