| San Pedro &
Southwestern Railroad - could have been a scenic history ride
for Americans. |

It had been
reported that the new pedestrian barriers along the Mexican border
were built with Chinese steel and
Mexican panels.
It now appears, based on information
from American Border Patrol, that DHS cannibalized
rails from the historic San
Pedro and Southwestern Railroad to build vehicle barriers.
The movie 310
to Yuma starts out in the town of Bisbee
Arizona, which was one of the stops
made by the railroad. "It is stunning that Secretary
Chertoff chose to destroy an historic railroad to save a little
money," said Glenn Spencer of American Patrol. Spencer said
the railroad rail barriers
are easily defeated.
There is no doubt these rails will be
discarded when the pedestrian fence called for in the Secure
Fence Act of 2006 is finally finished. |
