Detail view of US border fence on the Mexico border, east of Nogales Arizona USA, and Nogales Sonora Mexico, viewed from US side. Note the design for top of the fence making it harder to cross, and at the bottom, the specialized construction features to allow better water flow in times of heavy rain filling ravines and stream washes. This type of barrier is “bollard” style construction, composed of 6” x 6” heavy steel tubing anchored in concrete and extending 16 feet or more above ground level, making it difficult for individuals to climb for access to the United States, and hard to cut through. For that reason, it is regarded as a “pedestrian barrier”, unlike shorter barriers which only block vehicles. The gap between bollards is less than 6”. The border fence is not a contiguous structure across the US boundary with Mexico, but is found in segments of relatively higher frequency of attempted border crossings.
