They know that wall is built entirely on the US side of the actual border, right? In some areas, more than a mile of territory was effectively ceded. They can go and paint the other side too, if they want.

But how would they get back over?

Ah sweet a stairway to heaven.

Errrmmmm... I... guess you could call it that. "One man's heaven is another man's..." and all that.

Well, walking up that stairway will send you to heaven.

But those are black too. They might try this after painting the white

Ladders? Milk crates? More seriously, in some places there are actual gates in the wall, which also allow ranchers access to their land on the other side.

Yep, here’s one in south Texas that’s about 1/4 mile from the actual border (the Rio Grande). It seems to be generally left open. The photo is from the “outside”.

Colour of the utility pole crossing over, making it extremely obvious that both sides of the fence are the same country.

It's stolen territory, bub. They didn't cede anything.
