Dozens of ladders used to get migrants over wall discovered in dumpster near border

SAN DIEGO ( Border Report ) — Dozens of makeshift ladders mysteriously appeared in a dumpster near the border wall on Tuesday morning.
The discovery was made in an area known as “Whiskey 8,” where migrants congregate along the border between San Diego and Tijuana.
All the ladders — most of which were made out of rebar and other materials — were used by smugglers to help migrants get over border barriers in the area, a Border Patrol source told Border Report.
In the past, agents have been seen throwing similar ladders into the container. However, the source said they weren’t sure where all the ladders came from or how recently they might’ve been gathered.
A migrant advocate who asked not to be identified, said the ladders symbolize “a waste of money,” in reference to the $15 billion used to build 30-foot-tall sections of the border wall along the southern border.
Some of its trauma surgeons published a study in the Journal of American Journal of Medical Association two years ago describing the type of injuries they were seeing since the walls were raised to 30-feet back in 2019.
