The wall between the U.S. and Mexico is less than a mile away from the town of Jacumba and where we were staying for this trip. We could see the wall from our motel off of old Highway 80. I really have mixed feelings about the wall. I know that times have changed but my ancestors immigrated to this country a few generations ago to have a better life for their children and these people are doing the same thing.
What's interesting though, the wall isn't complete. It ends a short distance to the East of the town. While we were here, a coyote dropped off a group of Chinese immigrants there and then they were led to a parking area next to an Interstate 8 off ramp by the border patrol. There were two tents, some firewood, and four outhouses for them to use until they went onto the next step in their journey.
Next, they will be taken back to be processed at the next border crossing. We found out from talking to a border patrol agent, they do this because there is a quota on how many people can cross into the U.S. each day. But if you cross around the wall, you automatically get processed and you can't get turned away. It's a loophole in the system.

On the right, the long island with two humps is Saturna Island which is part of the Gulf Islands on the Canada side.

This building sits on the border of the United States and Canada in Derby Line, Vermont. The stanchions and caution tape in the foreground actually define the federal border.
We’ve crossed the border into Mexico on my Pan-American Trek using Google Street View. The border town of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, is very different from its cousin town of Laredo, Texas, but the cultural crossovers are still very evident. Nuevo Laredo is a key logistics hub in Mexico.
It’s been 8800 km from Dead Horse, Alaska, to Laredo, Texas, and it will be about 2400 km from Nuevo Loredo to Tapachula, at the Mexico-Guatemala border. Unfortunately, Google Street View isn’t available in the rest of Central America, so we’ll be doing a virtual flight from Mexico to Columbia, South America.
Some initial thoughts about the trip from Alaska to Texas:
* Google Street View is one of the most important photographic endeavors of history, and Street View drivers are photography pioneers. Really.
* A drive in Alaska can be the most boring imaginable or the most glorious.
* Alberta Highway 93, otherwise known as the Icefields Parkway, or Promenade des Glaciers, is heavenly.
* Towns really do have archetypal layouts; the “other side of tracks” is literally true.
* Decaying brick, wood, and metal are sustainable art.
* The US is a visibly Christian country.
* Grain and livestock businesses still exist in Grain Belt, but fewer people are needed for labor, so almost everyone has migrated, leaving modern ghost towns.
* Signage is often purposefully quirky, an artistic brand expression.
* No one is outside in the US, they’re only visible getting into, inside, or getting out of cars.
* Wall art falls into three categories – gang or random graffiti, “endorsed” wall art (by a town or business), and “unendorsed” wall art, the latter being typically the most intense and artistic.
* More old buildings exist as you go south, probably because of increased density and less harsh weather.
* The Texas Panhandle looks like it’s been standing up to a strong wind for a long time.
* Texans use trees purposefully to frame their houses.
* Mexican-Hispanic influence increases nonlinearly as a function of closeness to the Mexican border.
* Abandoned buildings are a luxury of a rich society; the US can afford to build structures that last and afford to leave them to decay without stealing their materials or re-using them in some intelligent way.
* Is it possible that there’s a “Law of Conservation of Interestingness”? In awesome landscapes the buildings are boring and aren’t made to last; in boring landscapes (dry landscapes?) the buildings are made to be more interesting and last a long time, which in turn makes them even more interesting.
* Is virtual photography a new field?
I didn't have perfect weather for this shot it was windy cold and misting,. I was however able to keep my lens dry long enough to get this Panorama. The colud cover did give me some contrast for the GM building.

Welcome to the US at the US-Mexico border in Loredo, Texas. The first thing you're reminded of when you get in the U.S. is that you want to get somewhere else. Pan-American Trek using Google Street View.

I was very tense because I knew the U.S. border police were paying close attention to my words and actions! I hated being here on account of that, and I hurried away as soon as I got my pics.

people are faving it so the work will get out there to see how dreadful this actually is. All paid for by American taxpayers.Here are my prior comments.
"ya, it is a total insult to the land and the people - it goes on for miles and miles - appears to be made of metal - it is not something that makes one proud to be American.
How tall is it?
10 - 12 feet. It is very strange. You can easily climb over with a ladder, and it ends wherever there is a mountain or hill. The only thing it keeps out is animals from migrating - they have to go - I don't know - far far around it.
Personally I walked up to it and spit on it. First I apologized to the metal in the fence as I knew it was not it's fault, nor the fault of the (probably Mexican workers on the pay of the US) that built it. "
IT SUCKS!
