Prototype Mexico border wall

[Deleted]

Ok, that wall is pretty much useless. You need to put razor wire on top at least and maybe build two walls with an actual corridor in the middle. For this you just bring a ladder and go across.

[Aquinan]

It's okay Donald Trump said Mexico will pay for everything and surely he wouldn't lie.

So mexico will fund the guys wit guns at the border.....is that the definition of a cartel?

With everything I hear that cartel does, I'm willing to bet we'll see them just using explosives, just to fuck with the wall.

Are land owners on the border getting compulsary buying orders for thier land to build the wall?

US can always hire German experts, we know how to build huge walls. And the next US president can hire them too - we also are experts in tearing them down again!

[vindicatorx]

GET HYPE!

Waste of tax payer money, woot!

[Dmitro]

Yeah because you need more gun violence Do you know how long your border is? And what i would cost to man it all the time?

have you heard of energy detecting cameras and high speed cars ? We dont need to have a man for every 20 meters in 21 century

[Sazabius]

Not that I think this is a good expenditure of tax money (anything that isn't infrastructure is a waste imo) but what the actual f*ck. So most of you are arguing that because a wall can be circumnavigated why have a wall at all? Hell, why have a border? There's a fence because it's harder to climb a fence than just walking across. Consequently, a big fucking 30 foot wall is a lot harder to get over than a fence... geniuses.

[Enthusiastic Steward]

What's the over/under on the wall:
- being completed by the time Trump leaves office
- being partially completed by the time Trump leaves office and eventually finished after being dragged out for many years at much greater expense than promised
- being partially completed by the time Trump leaves office and never finished
- being vandalized/bombed at some point during construction by fringe left-wing extremists
- being blamed for not magically fixing the problem by not being wall enough by people who don't/refuse to understand that over half of illegal immigrants enter the country legally and the wall doesn't do a fucking thing about it
- incurring ire for turning into a money vacuum
- being regretted by younger fire-and-brimstone Trump voters who didn't take into account that once built the wall is there forever, must be staffed forever, must be funded for upkeep forever (growing more expensive in upkeep every year), and 40-50 years from now is useless as geopolitics continue their ever-fluid shifting, eventually fulfilling no purpose but as a national embarrassment to our great-grandchildren as it slowly crumbles away into ruin in the desert, a pointless relic of a bygone scenario

Man, can't wait to see the bill when this project is abandoned a quarter of the way through.

TrumpWall™ waste of money=Remove all borders? Did I miss something?

[Jastall]

we should have guards protecting it and if needed to open fire on illegal aliens.

Yeah, you guys need to go full East Germany on these unarmed brown people. That'll teach everyone else who has the moral high ground.

do you realize that a good chunk of the border is located on deserted areas, or zones where is hard to access via car? and that the border is thousands of kilometers big?

ICE is roaming all across the border already, plus its kinda ez to build posts every 50-100 kilometers.

They have two fences in San Diego already. On the south side you have a metal fence. Pretty easy to climb. Its main purpose is to stop vehicles. On the north side you have a metal screen fence. Probably 18 – 20 feet. Between the two fences you have the no man's land (between 90 – 100 feet wide), accessible only to the Border Patrol and Custom & Immigration. From the picture it looks like they are building the prototypes in the no man's land which they already owned.

[Mihalik]

Tell that to the families of those who had loved ones murdered by illegal aliens. It's a step in the right direction. Agree with the wall or not, it's going to be built, the time has come to face reality.

Good luck convincing Congress to pay for it.

ICE does not patrol the border. Border Patrol does that.

Border Patrol job is to catch them while they are crossing the border. They get stationed at all kind of remote border towns. That is why it is so hard to the Border Patrol to hire people. Nobody want to be stationed at some one-buggy town in the middle of nowhere.

ICE job is to catch them once they are in the US. They mostly operate in large population centers.

Custom and Border Protection (CBP) job is to man all of the Ports of Entry.

You can't so moot point?

if you start at one end and go to the other end with a wall then you will have. Why do you claim it cant be done?

- - - Updated - - -

Except for the whole fact about a vast amount of the people here illegally came here legally. A wall doesn't really help with that.

then maby we should track those that enter illegaly and when they turn illegal deport them.

Rio Grande and private property for starters.

Rio Grande and private property for starters.

Mountains and shit as well, unless we're just going to start leveling the border with explosives or something.
