“we need a better barrier that can not be easily climbed”

What kind of barrier do you think would be best? what kind of features, and how big?

Just paint a line and shoot anyone that crosses it.

I think the older generation are more upset than the younger.

In the main, yes, but there are exceptions. My 21 year old daughter has turned into a scary fire breathing conservative over the last few years. Woe be unto any hapless liberal who crosses her.

Her three brothers are solid conservatives, as well, but they're a bit more reserved in the public square.

Why waste time and money on wire?

Because it works and it can be put in place very quickly.

I could build the fence for what the wire costs.

I doubt that very seriously.

I notice that in those two photos, the type of ‘razor wire’ is distinctly different. Is one more effective than the other, or is one less damaging ?

I’ve seen pictures of wall sections where the razor wire is at the bottom of the wall on our side of the border.

That is stupid
It should be on the TOP only and made of material that cannot be cut without a torch.

That way if someone cuts their hands etc they will fall into Mexico and not the USA

Time to buy stock in companies that produce concertina wire.

Our President Trump is showing the nation that the government Should be run with Checks and Balances, not by the RAT way.
