Concurs with what I’ve been reporting here. He’s said this from day 1.
The wall isn’t going to be a physical wall. He’s going to make it so bad for Mexico that Mexico will put armed guards on the border to prevent it’s own people from crossing. They’ll build the wall - even if it’s virtual.
So far all the virtual fence stuff fails! The high tech components cannot withstand the climate. The drastic temperature changes, high winds blowing dirt. Most actually doesn’t work right from day one, shoddy equipment or contractors. It is common for that stuff to be down more than it works. Maintenance is expensive too, imagine what tech people charge to go out into the middle of nowhere to repair things- usually they don’t have what it takes so have to make more than one trip. It is crazy.
The most effective border security we have now is the Border Patrol horse patrols but the government doesn’t want to hear that. They want to spend $$$$$ on technology instead of buying more horses. Men on horse back can just travel into more difficult terrain, do it quietly unlike quads and vehicles.
We need a real security fence on the border, we need Border Patrol and or military patrolling that fence instead of patrolling miles North of the border. We need to make it difficult to cross and have penalties for even trying that are serious enough that people stop trying.
Solving the border issues is doable but it has to be a package deal involving strictly enforcing our boundaries, immigration laws, taking away the jobs (penalize employers until they stop hiring) and freebies.
Now we are doing one little thing and another with no overall plan. Of course it is not supposed to be secure now because our current government doesn’t want it to be and hasn’t for many years.
It will be a physical wall. Concrete Panels
