And now we're getting Indians and Pakistanis crossing in from Mexico. Great. More convenience store clerks to take those jobs Americans don't want.

There is no fence there.

OK, so now I'm confozzled:

https://www.quora.com/Does-Mexico-have-a-wall-on-its-southern-border

Refers to Snopes, which I automatically distrust if the subject in question has any left-right connotations.

Another search hit says there are cattle fences. (Which doesn't preclude immigration fences / walls.)

Here is one spot: https://www.google.com/maps/@16.0437662,-91.7493239,254m/data=!3m1!1e3

The tag at the bottom of the screen says the map data is from 2017.
