Mexican Lawmaker Climbs Border Wall to Prove Point to Trump
In his tweets on Twitter, Guerra brags that he was able to scale and climb the wall to wind up sitting on the top.
A Mexican congressman went to great lengths — and heights — Wednesday to illustrate why he believes that President Trump’s controversial U.S.-Mexico border wall is “unnecessary” and “totally absurd.”
Braulio Guerra, a congressman from the state of Queretaro, tweeted photos and a video of himself perched atop a 30-foot tall fence that separates the Mexican border city of Tijuana from the U.S.
“I was able to scale it, climb it, and sit myself right here,” Guerra said in the video. “It would be simple for me to jump into the United States, which shows that it is unnecessary and totally absurd to build a wall.”
He adds, “It’s easy, and it shows how unnecessary this project, this political rhetoric from Donald Trump, is.”
In one of the photos Guerra tweeted, two other people atop the wall are visible. Guerra said they were climbing the wall while he was there.

“You can climb it with great ease, one climbs in an instant,” Guerra says in the video. “I climbed it in Tijuana, one of the highest parts, even from a distance this looks very complex, but there are young people that go up and down, at all times.”
It is worth noting, though, that Guerra did not post any photos or video footage of himself climbing the wall, so some in the Twittersphere questioned how he reached the top and how easy such a feat really is.
Guerra’s point is somewhat undermined by the fact that border crossers might be too frightened to make the descent from atop the 30-foot high barrier. Certainly it could prove daunting for women and children seeking to enter the United States.
It also might encourage the Trump Administration to just build a higher wall. News reports last week indicate that a number of construction companies have already requested they be allowed to enter the bidding for contracts to build the wall.
A snotty leftist Mexican sedicous politician showing what idiot he is by climing the fence. Maybe he should tell everybody why the Mexican government have a fence on their southern border to keep other Hispanics out from Central America. Are they racist against the Central Americans?
