A Mexican congressman who scaled the border wall that separates San Diego from Tijuana and sat on it is getting plenty of attention for it.

Photos and video of Braulio Guerra’s stunt atop the metal fence have been shared hundreds of times since being posted on Wednesday.

Guerra is a representative of the state of Queretaro, who, according to his government web page, was involved with national defense up until last year, and is currently a member of a commission on climate change.

On Wednesday, his message was to point out why President Donald Trump’s plan to improve border security with improved walls is the wrong move.

“I climbed the wall with the United States,” he wrote on Twitter.

Then he tweeted directly at Trump to say it’s absurd and unnecessary to spend money on a project that is damaging to U.S.-Mexican relations or what he specifically called being good neighbors.

Building a wall to keep out unauthorized immigrants from Mexico was a campaign promise of Trump’s repeated again and again, and plans to start construction are already underway. But that didn’t stop Guerra from trying to prove the wall won’t help.

He also shared a video he took up on top of the fence the next day, in which he said “I was able to scale it, climb it, and sit myself right here.”

“It’s easy, and it shows how unnecessary this project, this political rhetoric from Donald Trump is.”

Some who saw the posts on Twitter thought the stunt was a little much, including one woman who basically said he needs to get back to work.

Did you think this was a good move by Guerra? Politics aside, it was a pretty daring thing to do, although no evidence of how he actually got up there or down was shared on social media.

Hmm.
