A Mexican congressman mocked President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall between the U.S. and Mexico with an extreme stunt.
Braulio Guerra, a congressman from Queretaro, posted a video and photos of himself high atop a 30-foot-high fence along the US-Tijuana border, the New York Post reported.
Sencillo subir al #Muro pero son muchos los peligros para nuestra gente. Derechos Humanos, principios y dignidad son innegociables #México?? pic.twitter.com/9PExn3RlnV

“I was able to scale it, climb it, and sit myself right here,” he said in the video.
“It would be simple for me to jump into the United States, which shows that it is unnecessary and totally absurd to build a wall,” he said. “It’s easy, and it shows how unnecessary this project, this political rhetoric from Donald Trump, is.”
Photos he tweeted appeared to show two other people who were climbing the wall at the same time he was there.
Escalé el Muro con EEUU. Mira @realDonaldTrump lo absurdo e innecesario el gasto en este proyecto que agravia y daña nuestra buena vecindad. pic.twitter.com/K2S5RI8a0d

“You can climb it with great ease, one climbs in an instant,” Guerra said. “I climbed it in Tijuana, one of the highest parts. Even from a distance, this looks very complex, but there are young people that go up and down at all times.”
The Post noted that the section of fence where Guerra was perched ended only a few feet away at the beach. It seems anyone wanting to enter the U.S. could just walk through at that point rather than climb over the wall.
Skeptics on Twitter questioned how the congressman even got on top of the structure as no video was posted showing him climbing. Many others just criticized Guerra for stunt.

@BraulioPRI No wonder Trump wants to build the wall. The current border is a joke.

.@BraulioPRI from the looks of the background, seems like the backstroke would have been much easier.

@BraulioPRI Great example of the lawless leadership in our southern neighbors. He obviously has no respect for our laws. Bigger. Higher.

@BraulioPRI Instead of you posting a picture of you on the fence, post to the world you ACTUALLY climbing the fence. I triple-dog dare you!
