Completing US-Mexico border wall would be daunting task

Close to the southern tip of Texas a border wall suddenly ends. Its final post sits in a dry cornfield half a mile from the nearest bend in the Rio Grande river, the actual border with Mexico.

It would be easy to walk around it. Tires left by the border patrol rest nearby. Agents drag them behind trucks to smooth the cracked earth and check for footprints.

Unlike other famous barriers in history such as the Berlin Wall or the Great Wall of China, the U.S. version is not much of a wall. What stands in Texas is fragmented series of fencing, composed of enormous steel bars embedded in concrete close together. The rust-colored thick bars that must reach a height of 18 feet loom over the landscape, forming teeth-like slats that split farmland, slice through backyards, and sever parks and nature preserves.

Amazing. The United State can alter the climate of the entire planet for good or bad but can not build a simple wall.

wasn’t the check already delivered?

Any task is daunting if you refuse to start on it, and do not fix the will to complete it.

I wouldn't be cheap.It couldn't be done overnight.But “daunting”? Gimme a bleepin’ break!

[BenLurkin]

Just tell the ‘Rats that it will be “stimulus”

Didn’t we go to the moon in 1969?

It's much too hard. There's no way it can be done. It would cost too much. The terrain is too difficult. It would take too long.

Build the wall a mile into Mexican Territory.

I am willing to be all of the unemployed O&G workers would be more than happy to get employed and build that wall.

I bet even the Unions would make a play at insuring the wall was built with Union labor.

Who cares.... Mexico is going to pay for it ..../s

It can be and should be done. Illegal aliens cause us an enormous amount of harm. There are ISIS members, rapists, pedophiles, killer, drug cartels. A particularly dangerous fraction are the black tar heroin dealers. I post about them because of the extensive harm they do to youngsters.

These dealers are all illegal aliens from Mexico. They are recruiting new addicts. They can only be stopped by deportation and protection of the border. An odd thing I red about them is that they are under orders to sell only to whites.

How about the Hoover Dam. A classic example of America’s ingenuity. Remember it was built with sliders and mules.

You don’t really need the wall. Just give the military the responsibility of guarding the southern border. They can use it as part of their training.

India can build a 4000km fence on it's border with Bangladesh but the US is not able to build one 75% that length?

[combat_boots]

I give you: North and South. We built it. It works. Korea

Build two chain link fences 1/8 of a mile apart the length of the border.

Put mines and automated turrets int he area between.

Put lots of warning signs on the fence facing the mexico side.

there is a cheap wall.

Trump ought to pay for a proposal

[bigtoona]

I would volunteer a week of my time for free to assist in building the wall, I’m sure many others would too! Like habitat for humanity except it would be the wall for sovereignty!

Might as well just give up, then.
