Simple Border Solution (Vanity)
self | 5/5/17 | Self

Posted on 05/05/2017 8:39:26 PM PDT by rapture-me

I am so tired of listening to liberals and weak Republicans arguing about a wall along our southern border that I want to scream. However, at this late date, I’m beginning to see their point. It IS expensive. It CAN be breached with a tall enough ladder. It CAN have holes cut in it.

I finally have a cheap, foolproof, workable solution. Why don’t we just allocate a ½ mile wide strip as “No Man’s Land” and plant land mines in it. That would be simple, cheap, fast, and very effective. Plus, we would be notified every time one of the mines exploded.

Leave it to the politicians to complicate a simple, inexpensive solution. I’ll bet that after 3 months either the Democrats or the Mexican government would be volunteering to build the wall themselves.

Now that’s a Texas solution!

Um, land mines can be removed by a later administration. What some are hoping for is a permanent structure that cannot be disabled by future Presidents.

A wall needs top be manned 24x7 or it is worthless. But a wall is a huge force multiplier that is why so many globalist are against it.

I’d just send a line of donkey’s through first. Those that make it through, follow their tracks, jump on, and be gone. Viola..

After a few months we would have a “FREE” wall. This would entice someone else to build & pay for it.

If someone was brave enough to follow a string of donkeys thru a minefield, they may deserve citizenship.

"It CAN be breached with a tall enough ladder. It CAN have holes cut in it."

No, it can't.

This is the country that allegedly went to the moon. And now we are letting scoundrel politicians convince us that we cannot build a wall that will work?

I'm starting to doubt we went to the moon. Too hard. Things could happen along the way. No women on board. Probably was racist and homophobic too.

Thanks for doing a vanity to share your unique and insightful viewpoint. No doubt the ensuing video of dead and maimed women and children all over the MSM would play great with the general public.

This wall will never be built. No holes in it to see through.

Just stop handing out free money, schools and medical to illegals and the wall will be in their way as they exit on their own.

An Unbaited trap catches no rats.

Believe me. After only a few photos hit the airwaves the traffic would stop. As it is now, we have hundreds of dead & maimed and it just continues. Yes, show it on the news as a warning. Could actually save some lives.

That’s why you man the outlook posts on top of it.

Also, why would you need to see through it?

Whatever is on the other side of it doesn’t matter.

Why make it so hard? Just set up remote devices for sound, motion, and camera. then if someone walks into the country, shoot’em. That’s what Mexico does at their southern border.

But here’s something that will work also: we currently give Mexico a huge amount of money for petroleum as they are our second largest contributor next to Canada and above Venezuela. Finish the Keystone, and stop buying from them because they won’t work with us keeping their citizens out of our country. When they can’t feed themselves, they could have a behavior change. Up to them.

Expensive? NOPE! NOT building the wall is expensive- almost 1 TRILLION DOLLARS per year expensive-

years ago studies were done that estimated the cost of illegals in this country to be between $400 BILLION DOLLARS and $600 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR

The wall is a one time fee of around $20 billion dollars- that’s it! you will have a small yearly maintenance fee- but nowhere near $600 BILLION DOLLARS worth-

Build the damn wall and deport illegals! and stop talking about how expensive it is- it’s a freakin bargain- and the money we save will be tremendous- We will get a return on our money in just the first month or so

lol. Silliest thread yet.

First of all ANY president that even mentioned this would be crushed next election, the first kid to die would be splattered (no pun intended) all over the msm and the world.

We are mostly christian folks here and if there is (And there CERTAINLY is) a way of keeping illegals out without blowing them up, i’m for it.

Cutting holes in a wall? What are we using,, paper?

If it was a matter of simply keeping the deaths in the news cycle, it seems like the cartels would just force folks to run through it by threat/wealth to their families.

Yep. Herd the illegals in front of them to clear the path for the drug mules.
