April 7, 2018 - Jacumba, California, U.S. - Image shows US border fence looking southwest on the Mexico border with mountainous terrain. This type of barrier is generally called landing mat, a reference to the use of steel panels from the Vietnam War era which helped helicopters land in jungle areas. Landing mats are an early approach to creating a barrier on the US border with Mexico, to prevent illegal crossings. The structure is made of steel panels welded together and attached to vertical steel columns that follow the contours of the land. The structure varies in height from 5 to 10 feet, so it is effective against vehicles, but easily climbed by people on foot. Later versions of the border fence use superior construction designs to prevent illegal border crossers. The fence is not a contiguous structure across the US boundary with Mexico, but is found in segments where relatively higher frequency of attempted border crossings occur.
