Remember the single flimsy fence that spearated Tijuana and San Diego last year, where the prototypes were built?

Check it out today (and a second 30 feet tall layer starts building behind this one, next month)

Walls do work, all you have to do is look at the leftists mansions to know that.

well, someone long long ago invented the wheel and we’ve been using it ever since. Sometimes simple things work and last and you can’t improve on them.

I’d prefer to look at it as having stood the test of time. Some things just cannot be improved on.

Other things which are medieval solutions that still work:

Movable type and the printing press
Mechanical clocks
Eyeglasses
Scissors
Windmills
Crop rotation
Universities. Okay, this one doesn't work anymore but it did for a long time until the 1960s.

He “claims” it still works.

Next that idiot will “claim” the wheel still works.

Same can be said for the Wheel.

Like a catapult still works as a deportation device.

Wheels are medieval solutions. So are levers. And clothing. And walking. And inclined planes. And pulleys. And...

So I guess the Magna Carta which first established the principle that everyone is subject to the LAW, guarantees the rights of individuals, and the right to a fair trial should be ignored too since it’s such a “medieval” idea! These MSM critters are such irritants!

What good does it do to just identify them if Democrats aren’t willing to deport them?

I drove by the airport and Oakland Port.

They seem to think walls and barriers work, as did the base at Alameda that once was there and my customers all around Oakland have some pretty dang’d high gates/walls lined with Barbed Wire....

Of course walls work, every time they've been tried.

A border between a first world nation and a third world one requires a physical fence, or no border exists.

We now have no functional, effective border in place...any non citizen can merely walk across the border and ask for asylum. When they do, they're eventually released with an order to appear.

If they make their way to a sanctuary city, they are untouchable. There they will be given welfare, medical and free schooling.

Chuck and Nancy, how is that a border?

That's why we want a wall. It's not subject to the whim of RAT politicians, activists or judges.

Other medieval (or earlier) ideas are:

wheels
fire
monotheistic theism
democracy and the republican form of government
mechanical clocks
gun powder/modern chemistry
water mills and wind mills
eye glasses
flying buttress architecture

Etc.

Just because it’s old, doesn’t mean it’s outdated.

George W Bush had a virtual wall of cameras built.

But Obama had it taken down first thing, claiming it didn’t work.

The new wall doesn’t look like any of the prototypes.

The only problem with the steel slot wall is there is too much grounding. Unless the top bar is insulated and they can run a current down it.

The difference between a wall & drones/sensors is that the wall stops the illegal BEFORE he/she crosses the border, whereas drones/sensors spot the illegal only after they are in the US, giving him/her instant US rights to fight deportation, with the burden of caring for them entirely on us.

I don’t believe I’ve heard any Conservatives explain this publicly.

Drones/sensors are a clever Leftist ploy to get the illegal here & force the government to try to deport them, swamping our detention facilities & immigration courts.
