A stretch of old fencing along Arizona's border
with Mexico will be replaced, per the federal agency.
U.S. Border Patrol reported the wall around the Naco port of entry,
south of the city of Bisbee, is due for an upgrade. Much of that fence
is made of solid steel sheets that were once landing mats for military
aircraft. Many parts are visibly rusting.
An agency spokesman said the new fencing could look like the vertical, see-through-style posts in Nogales."Tucson Sector Border Patrol constantly evaluates its tactical infrastructure to ensure upgrades occur as needed and as funding becomes available,” the department wrote in a statement to KGUN9.
Border Patrol does not have a timeline for the project, including when construction might start.
