I’m assuming the water is the Pacific (and not an inlet or bay) and the wall is therefore extending west with the viewable right side facing north & the US.

Then why are there spikes pointing to the US side at the top of the leftmost section?

“Why bother climbing at all? You can just go out around it.”

Don’t understand why that wall isn’t out a couple hundred yards? It doesn’t need to be very tall, just enough of an obstruction to force the illegals to have to start swimming. Apprehending swimmers is relatively easy, particularly if they’ve had to swim a couple hundred yards out and back.

That’s a good question. It is definitely the Pacific and those spikes are on the US side. Not sure why it is designed like that though.

Razor wire should be deployed all along the border at least 3 high and 3 wide. Cheap, easy, and quick

A few land mines or grenades wired to go off in that razor wire would help.

“America needs to bring back convict labor.”

I like that idea. If illegals are on American land using American resources, they should be bunked in a prison like setting, and made to work daily for their keep. They could be putting up solar screens in deserts, picking up trash on highways, etc.

And that one guy in the picture is stripped down to his shorts and looks like he is going to do just that.

Need another 2,000 miles of the stuff.

Partner, we had the wall approved in 1996 except that Senator Kay Baily Hutchison of Texas took out the money for the wall when they reconciled the budget with the House.

She will never ever be forgiven in Texas.

It so obvious that the powers that be want America to be invaded
Cause if they really wanted to stop it they would have made it very painful$$$ to hire or house illegals.

Argh.

I’m alarmed by maps of Texas that show border counties trending toward Dummycrats. Don’t know if they are accurate, but Cruz barely beat a complete turd in O’Rourke...

“Never understood why that razor wire wasn’t there decades ago.....”

Didn’t want to hurt the invaders.

To damn little and far to late. We were promised a wall. Build the WALL!

Only on one side. If you throw a leather jacket over that, and move quickly, you can bypass it.

Yeah, but look at the wire on the ground that awaits them.

If they spring forward with their hands, they’ll miss it. You need the wire on the ground to stick out more, maybe have two coils. They could also put something on the Mexico side, a solid piece facing diagonally downward and out, sort of like a squirrel catcher.

They can’t screw with it from the ground on their side. They actually have to climb up the wall and over before they hit the wire.
