Concertina added to top of border wall near San Diego where migrants had threatened to enter US

Washington Times:

Hours after images of migrants climbing a border wall in San Diego went viral, the Homeland Security Department deployed razor wire Wednesday to prevent a repeat.

The immigrants, who said they were the vanguard of the caravans streaming north through Mexico, ascended the fence Tuesday in a display of defiance. Video and photos showed them cheering and jeering atop the slat-style fence.

Although no arrests or confrontations were reported, Homeland Security took immediate steps to try to keep others from climbing by deploying concertina wire, which coils over itself, creating a thorough barrier.

“As we have said repeatedly, being a member of a caravan doesn’t give you any special rights to enter the country,” said Katie Waldman, Homeland Security spokeswoman.

Homeland Security released photos that show the concertina wire at the top and base of the fence on the U.S. side, as well as a second layer on the sandy beach further inside the U.S.

October set all-time records for illegal immigrant children and families attempting to sneak into the U.S., and November could be just as bad, with thousands of people in caravans making their way from Central America through Mexico.

The wire should present a challenge to those threatening to illegally enter the US.  It might also push the migrants to try other routes.
