One illegal immigrant may have the worst timing in history.
On Wednesday, Sen. John McCain was taking a tour of the U.S.-Mexico border near Nogales, Ariz. when something unusual happened.
Just witnessed a woman successfully climb an 18-ft bollard fence a few yards from us in #Nogales twitter.com/SenJohnMcCain/…

A bollard fence is one that is not solid, but has small gaps in between steel posts.
McCain subsequently tweeted that the woman was apprehended by Border Patrol agents.
McCain was joined in the tour by Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO).
