Border Dispatch: What Could A "Smart Wall" Do To Prevent Illegal Border Crossings? | Kristina Davis

Episode Summary

Deep in the Otay Mountain Wilderness, there is no wall. The only boundary between the U.S. and Mexico is a section of barbed wire fence in a pastoral valley. And miles and miles of treacherous terrain. It’s a territory criss-crossed with steep trails that disappear into tunnels of thick brush, a place looped by violently rutted roads that Border Patrol agents negotiate daily. Land such as this is not a likely candidate for President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful wall.” https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/border-baja-california/sd-me-virtual-wall-201903-story.html
