The problem is not America. It’s Mexico, Central and South America’s problem. They are criminally corrupted societies run by drug lords and crooked politicians who export their poor as a form of human capital to pull billions out of our economy every year. The money these parasites take from our economy is the only thing keeping these countries from totally collapsing and American politicians know it.

Angela Merkel hates our wall, and the rest of Germany’s globalist anti-American left hates the Great Wall of Trump. If we needed any more proof that the Wall was essential for American security, that’s our proof.

He is upset by the wall but said nothing about the truck loads of trash dumped by illegal immigrants.

German rag that has a misunderstanding of walls/borders/sovereignty. Their old wall was bad. America’s wall is good. Germany could use a new good wall because the irony is that the new barbarians are infesting and colonizing Germany.

Great footage of the Border Wall being built! (By Kenneth Franz of Summit Peak Drones). If you enjoy large scale construction, workflows and techniques, this is fun to watch.
Border Wall Construction Revealed by Drone!
If anyone hasn't seen this video, it is well worth it. It shows the construction workflow, materials, and finished portions of The Wall that are the result of the vendor selection process and construction type. Here are some snapshots:
NOTE: I don't agree with the guy's statement at the end, where he advocates a "path to citizenship" but he is at least getting the word out The Wall is being built! Once we get the wall built and cut down on people coming in, we can decide on how to deploy the water pumps to get rid of the flooding that has come in through the breaches in our hull for the past 60 years.

At the YouTube link, there is a comment at the top that says:
"...With love from Germany. Every country has the right to learn from its own mistakes..." What a zero. THEIR wall was to keep people imprisoned against their will. OUR wall is to keep US from being imprisoned in our OWN country by foreign enemies who have been invading us.

I didn’t even realize that...quite a difference. That old fence could probably keep a car out, but it looks like people could have climbed over or above it.
Not so much the new fence!
I love streamlined workflow, and watching the way they did things made me realize it wasn’t just the physical fence itself they bid with during the process, the workflow as well. (which makes sense, but sometimes the bidding process in the government makes no sense)

Before the fence, there were obelisks 276 monuments marking the US-Mexico border that were erected after the Mexican-American war ended in 1848.
In 2007, David Taylor, an Arizona-based artist and professor, set out to photograph them all a task that lasted seven years and took him from the Texas,
New Mexico and Chihuahua border to the Pacific Ocean, passing through cities and remote mountainous terrain.
