They stand like surreal monuments in the California scrubland: prototypes of Donald Trump's proposed "big, beautiful" border wall between the US and Mexico.
The eight 30ft high slabs are the first tangible part of the controversial project that the US President says will help solve America's immigration problems.

The wall was never intended to stop breaches but only to slow them down. Without the BP the wall is useless. We all get that, well not you apparently.

The wall is a force multiplier . It is not an impervious barrier. No wall is. History is not something you know much about is out?

Wrong...... minus appropriations there can be no contracts.
The congress so far at least, is holding Trump to his promise and making no additional wall construction appropriations

What the Hell are you a fan of? Being a loser.
I am a fan of adequate planning, superior execution and results in a project that is vital to our country.
Not a fan of Mr. Stompy Foot do something anything yesterday. Thats being a loser.

The wall on the lower set of pics and second from the right side with something like a culvert on the top looks like a winner.
The culvert would eliminate most schemes to crawl over the top.
Also, our border patrol agents can observe what is happening on the other side of the wall.

Plan away then, and celebrate zero execution. Tick, tock, tick tock.
And I said do something now, not yesterday.
Yesterday has already passed, and it was wasted.

I didn’t intimate anything.
I am very plain spoken, and you substituted your words for mine, and then attempted to mock me for them.
They are going to talk the whole time, and nothing more, and you’re going to defend it.
That’s whats going to happen.

You don't seem to know what's happening and you've twisted into knots attempting to convince others wall is not a deterrent. And when told Trump has already dramatically slowed the flow of illegals, before the wall has even been constructed, ya start posting nursery poems.
You're FOS and you described the tagline below perfectly.☺

I like that one, too. Maybe they can pump boiling hot water through the pipe on top. That'd be a little "surprise" for anyone actually trying to get up there.

Okay mr expert you tell us all how it should be done
To: CGASMIA68
Well...
I had ASSUMED (and we ALL KNOW what THIS means...) that your statement inferred that there was one.
Sorry for not realizing that apparently you like graffiti.
They forgot the graffiti that will adorn these slabs the 1st day they are up.

You don't seem to know what's happening and you've twisted into knots attempting to convince others wall is not a deterrent.I'm merely pointing out simple solutions to simple problems.
I never implied a wall is not a deterrent at all.

In the Objective-Strategic-Tactical (OST) problem-solving model, the objective is to state a difficulty, the strategy is to formulate a plan for overcoming the difficulty, and the tactic is a specific action carried out to solve the problem.
