President Donald Trump made cracking down on immigration a focus of his 2016 campaign for the White House, pledging to build a "big, beautiful wall" to stop illegal crossings along the U.S.'s southern border with Mexico.

...the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have been racing to fulfill the president's promise of 450 miles of border wall before the end of 2020....

The Mexicans will build highways to the gaps or entrances in the wall; the no-borders people will build reception complexes on our side.

The wall allows for an upgrading of both sides of the transfer. Although, coyotes might not like this.

Ugh.

I really can’t sleep these days worrying about the Supreme Court letting us all down and allowing that stinking Alzheimers meat puppet and his EVIL minions to take over our country and destroy democracy here forever. I wouldn’t doubt these motherless sons of dogs would tear down our precious border wall.

I hope so. This is killing me. Everything appears to be against Trump. If just one state would flip.

You can't just finish it and walk away, you know.
It has to be patrolled frequently and repaired at least every once in a while. It can be defeated with ladders, cutting torches, chop saws or you can dig under it. With a big enough truck you can probably knock it down or drive through it.

Biden will either tear it down or throw open our borders.

I read that over 70 percent of Americans like the wall.
It has proved good during this pandemic, helping stop drug
smuggling , human trafficking. I think it would be a dumb
move on Bidet’s part to knock the wall down or not patrol it.

DHS has a big job to do and since the wall is up we have seen
no caravans.

see, the thing about ladders, is, you can get to the top, but unless you have a bunch of people on top, you’re not going to get that ladder over to get down again. Same for attempting to cut the ballards. But the motion sensors built in alert the BP long before you’d reach the top anyway; or at least they’d be waiting for you on the other side.

If the BP is not spending hours running illegals into the office/hospital/deliveryroom/holding center and filling out the paperwork for each one, there are more hours to patrol. The wall comes with a service road. And other toys.

I doubt you’ll be able to get a truck thru the ballards; they’re stuck in the ground pretty deep and with the terrain on the other side in most places, not much chance for a heavy truck to get any speed going.

Boring!

It will get exciting if & when the shooting starts...

More likely, Harris-Pelousy will make a deal with their chicom compatriots and ship all deplorables to China where we end up living with the Uyghurs...

I wonder if Biden might tear the wall down and give a speech at border like Reagan saying, “Tear down that wall.”

450 miles? Not enough, unfortunately.

But we’ve got bigger political problems at the present moment, even more unfortunately.

Most people don’t know each bollard is filled with concrete.

Not so easy to cut or drive through.

Assuming biden does get sworn in, and survives the first few days, He will order it torn down.

Then probably give the scrap metal to the Chinese to build some more warships.

Wow, I am impressed but IF Biden gets in, he will probably remove it all.
