Image shows US border fence on the Mexico border, east of Nogales Arizona and Nogales Sonora Mexico, viewed from US side looking type of barrier is “bollard” style construction, composed of 6” x 6” heavy steel tubing anchored in concrete and extending16 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”. Bollard fencing was introduced as an improvement over the older “landing mat” type barrier. 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 crossing.
