A good part of that was installing services in a rural area, well drilling and such, if it was in an already built-up place it could be a little cheaper, nevertheless, it is still a lot cheaper than a pre-built home!
I think the region is part of the "Gadsdon Purchase"/Mesilla Valley .. a few years after what we call "The Unjust Invasion of the North Americans"... but something of a forced sale (Santa Anna, in his memoirs said he really had no choice but to sell it... though somehow the money never ended up in the Mexican treasury). There's some question about whether the surveyor's lines were correct when the border was drawn, possibly putting that wall o crates in Mexican territory ... not that anyone is going to make a big deal of it at this point.
As it is, most of the "Mexicans" crossing the US border right now are not Mexicans but Hondurans, Salvadorians, Guatemalans, and Venezuelans. You know, countries the US fucked over even more than Mexico.
Nobody's stepping aside. They all get high on their own supply. Biden's old. Next to nothing to knock off. And they're the one to do it. Fuck waiting until '28.
Well, we used to have a generous guest worker visa, where migrant workers would come into the country legally, follow the various harvests until the season was over, and take their earnings and go back home to their families, where the poverty-level wages US employers paid buys a decent standard of living.
We did away with those, so workers are now forced to sneak into the country. It's so hard and dangerous to do that there's no option to go back home at the end of the season. They're forced to become permanent residents of this country, which is not what they wanted.
So, bringing back the guest worker visa would be a start, coupled with better oversight and enforcement of labor laws so they aren't mistreated any worse than an American worker.
Claims that shipping containers will make good housing is a horrid and nasty grift that exploits budgets for *real* affordable housing AND is a stupid and terrible idea.
I was sitting on a couch and the devil bit me on the heel.

How do they know the ocelot isn't a Mexican interloper? Last I heard, ocelots don't carry passports or "real ID" of any sort.
Gross.

Well, of course. Feet are always fair game.

I'm just saying, if someone dumped old shipping containers on my private land, I'd have them sold and hauled off for scrap metal about an hour later.

Cool. Now do the northern border. That's even more unsecured than the southern border because no one pays attention to it.
Don't forget the prying it out of your cold, dead hands.
Remember Trump's wall, where everyone on the Mexican side was stealing the razor wire for home security?
As it has been said, "If you pick amateurs over experts to solve a problem, shit will go sideways every time."
Next monsoon season (August), some will get blown over. Others will float away.
