Mexican congressman trolls Trump by climbing ‘the wall’
RT (Russia Today) ^ | 3/3/2017

A Mexican congressman scaled great heights to demonstrate the “absurdity” of President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall between the US and Mexico.

Braulio Guerra, a congressman from the state of Queretaro, tweeted photos and a video of himself sitting proudly on top of a 26-foot tall fence that separates the Mexican border city of Tijuana from the US.

Guerra said he climbed the wall to illustrate the ridiculousness of the US president’s idea and point out that the futile spending would damage relationships between the two countries.

Can he be arrested and put on a no-fly list now? Also, does that mean he immigrated from his country for political asylum?

“would damage relationships between the two countries.”

We’ve tolerated you existence since the 1840s. You people have been a pain in the rear ever since.

Good relations are only in you imagination.

Electrify the fence, leave it off for awhile, let them get halfway up then flip the switch. Works on dogs. It’ll work on people.

It obviously needs to be higher/beter. Trump should send him a thank you tweet for proving that point.

Either that or invite people to use them for target practice as they get to the top.

That “wall” looks more like a fence to me. A real wall with nothing to hold onto is going to slow down most people.

I'm thinking a pop-up section at the top with material like a good boxing glove that could be used to give them a good punch off the wall. They're asking for it. Might as well make it entertaining...: )

I’ll support this idea if they also included live web cams and the Benny hill theme playing as they get knocked off the wall.

Saw the photo. Reminded me of plinking empty refried bean tin cans off the top of a fence with my Ruger 10/22.

The Mexican Congressman is helping immensely by demonstrating that the wall must be designed better than what exists at present and is illustrating why we must have a wall in the first lace. I do think the company that designed Israel’s wall should be hired for at least an oversight and approval role.

“I was able to climb and sit right here on top of the wall, it would be very easy to just jump to the US side,” he said.

The idiot should have videoed himself jumping from the 26-foot-high wall. Would have cracked him up. And me too.

It would be fun to sit at the border with paint ball guns and “troll” mexicans by shooting them with paint if they climb up the wall. Just for fun, you know, to show how if you climb a wall you could get shot.

Mr. Guerra, I think encouraging your poorest citizens to enter a neighboring country illegally has already damaged the relationship between our two countries.
