New Border fence between Mexico and New Mexico at mile mark 124 half way between Columbus New Mexico and El Paso Texas. Your $$$ at work.
Shell casings found at murder site in Mexico south of Juarez MX
Notice the old barb war fence behind monument. That was the old fence before the new three foot high iron fence was installed last year. This is a drug runners crossover point, between Columbus New Mexico and El Paso Texas.... mile marker 124 about one mile south of NM Highway 09.
Its still in use today. 'same ole-- same ole'. It is a very dangerous place at night. More than one person has met their end-- three hundred feet from the monument. The old car was shot up a few years ago. Three people were gunned down next to the car. The old car is now used to hide drugs, until they are picked up and transported north. The saddle in the mountain five miles north of the border was used as a stagging area for the drug runners for a number of years. It is said by BP that it is still in use.
(3rd picture from the left, you can still see part of the old fence in the center right of the picture. Its a two strand barb wire.
notes used to be left on the fence by the drug runners and the coyoties that controled this area. The Border Patrol would not go near this place, to dangerous and they were under staffed... still are.
As the pictures show, it is a desolate place and still very dangerous. You can be walking along and then suddenly the sand kicks up in front of you and in the back from automatic weaponds... a warning to clear out.... I always did.
(more to come)
