A remote bombing range on the border gets sized up for a piece of Trump's wall
YUMA, Ariz. —A lonely sign emerges in the Sonoran Desert on a sandy tract of nowhere.
“DANGER. Military reservation,” the text reads. “Unexploded Ordnance. Do not enter.”
Underneath, in Spanish, the sign warns of live fire and threatens trespassers with prosecution.
This is the Barry M. Goldwater Range. Military pilots from across the country come to the roughly 1.7-million-acre expanse to blow up replica targets from jets in the desert sky.
Today, the Arizona range’s remote terrain — part of which abuts Mexico — is in the crosshairs of not only the pilots who train here. It also has landed in the middle of one of the fiercest battles in American politics: the fight over President Trump’s effort to build a wall across the nation’s 1,954-mile southern border.

Wouldn't be a laugh if an errant bomb knocked the thing down.
