Good walls make good neighbors.
When your neighbor can’t seem to help himself from coming onto your property and stealing your stuff.
This will work.
So far every design that I’ve see will SERIOUSLY slow down anyone trying to get across. And likely slow them enough so that the Border Patrol can catch them. After all, it’s not like we’re going to build the wall and then abandon the border.
Sounds like a plan to me!
It’s probably too late to do any good. Let’s just invade all the way down to Panama and take it back. Use the Canal as our new Southern border.
I forgot to add this. If I were a Mexican National I sure as hell would try to enter this nation if it were a barbed wire fence in the desert.
It is hell in Mexico if you have no skills. The risk of dying in the desert is worth it. Actually if you want to survive the desert carry 1 gallon of water for each day. You really do not need food but if you do it should be high in sugars, fats and carbs. You can get your protein later. Bring water, a lot.
I would not cross a 300 meter mine field. I do not want to die.
Need more alligator motes.
They can’t climb a latter when the alligators have chewed off their foot.
Those who try to sneak over the wall become aligator meat...free of charge.
Crushed dreams of a 21st Century Aztlan. Boo hoo hoo
Go fix you’re own damm country! Its called a border, its to keep out ideology as well as other things.
Not unless the alligators get to them first
The look awesome!
Laser guided, infrared sensor automatic gun terrents every 300 feet where placing border patrol is not pratical.
Used drones to patrol more open areas.
Use alligators , barbed wire, glass inbedded into the top layers of the top of the wall.
Embedded 30 feet from the walls on both sides heat sensing, motion semsing with the aid of camreas that would apply a infrared heat gun as a deterrence to even get near the wall.
LOL!
No wall will work, unless combined with observation and armed response.
Even a short wall will work, if wall climbers know that there are riflemen watching the wall, with orders to shoot.
Remote controlled machinegun with camera will discourage wall climbers.
Unattended minefields are easy enough to breach, even with simple equipment if one is a little creative; easier than a tall wall in many respects. All it takes is one person with military combat engineering experience to create breaching lanes across the minefield— they could store the GPS coordinates of the cleared lanes and sell them with border security being none the wiser for a time.
The Mexicans also imbed broken bottles on top of their walls.
I remember a CEO telling me about entering a CIA facility....and the buried electric along the fencing. Kidding or not, they said they let rabbits loose everyday...
Gal I know has Huskies. They’re escape artists. She lined the whole top of her back fence with wire overlaid with pvc pipe. They can’t get a toe hold now. It turns everytime they try. lol
The purpose of the wall is a deterrent. Failing that it's secondary purpose is to slow down the border jumper long enough so border agents can apprehend.
Take you sh!t over to the DU.
