Garden City ID

Description

US Border Patrol forces reportedly often find discarded ladders, often as cheap as $5, left alongside the wall when patrolling the area. The forces have also had to call Hidalgo, Texas to haul away the piles of lumber that are produced by the destroyed ladders. Wooden ladders have become a go-to method of crossing for migrants along the Granjeno-to-Hidalgo stretch of border, according a report from Texas Monthly. The section in South Texas where ladders have thwarted the barrier cost $27 million per mile to constructs according to the same report Unlike the wall, these ladders are functional.
