In the early 1990s I visited the Pacific terminus of the US-Mexico border. The chain-link fence ended on the beach about 3-5 meters from the water. On the beach were warning signs not to cross illegally. Since that time, sometime during the mid-1990s, the US government extended the fences several meters out into the water and fortified the fence with steel panels. I'm not sure about the Gulf of Mexico terminus.

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] mexican - us borders
Can anyone shed some light on what structures, fences, etc. are at
the termini of the mexican - us borders (S. of San Diego and Mouth of
Rio Grande). Can one simply swim out a few feet and come back to
shore in the other country?
