    Right… Because black paint is going to stop them how exactly? “It absorbs the heat, so they will get burns when touching the fence”.

    Ever heard of night?

      Yes, but at the same time. A reduction of attempts during the day means you can have a concentration of manpower at night. And with the forcing day jumpers to wear gloves and long sleeves and pants. They are more likely to subcome to heat exhaustion. Because once over the other side they won’t really have time to stop and strip off the extra layers when running from border patrol.

      Hell it can probably make thermal cameras more effective to having g a cooler body with the back drop of hot as hell steel.
