``It's an attempt to get them to use the ladders instead of tearing the fences,'' said Scott Pattinson, who owns one of a group of ranches known as La Copa.

Paul Johnson protects his 2,700-acre exotic game ranch of zebras, scimitar-horned oryx and wildebeests with about 10 miles of high wire fence, and joined his neighbors in placing ladders along the way.

Johnson plans to take the ladders down, worried about the message he's sending.
``I think what it does is give a signal that we are wanting them to cross there, don't mind the crossing, and that kind of magnifies the problem,'' he said.
Rancher Michael Vickers never liked the ladder idea and instead has ringed his fence with 220 volts of electricity.

the neo cons want both borders open - therefore both borders will remain open - troops on borders merely window dressing.
neo cons want it to be one country made out of 3. with the neo cons in charge of it all.
that's their new reality for us all Mex., US, Can..
all we are is cheap labor - slave labor - slave labor doesn't live long so banning abortion and contraceptives will keep them provided with slave labor.
