Ladies and Gentlemen I give you your impenetrable border wall

[Joes Place]

I'm guessing the gaps are for small animals to get through based on environmental restrictions. So they won't close those up. There needs to be a VERY sharp edge at the top.

FUNFACT: In Nanjing China, neighborhoods with walls around the properties use broken glass bottle pieces mortared into the top of them to discourage thieves from entry.

FUNFACT II: In Nanjing China, thieves use readily available carpet scraps to toss over those bottle shards, and go right on over those walls.

Simply amazing.

You're really not thinking this through. So........you're amazing.

@Rudolph ... I think he’s flirting with you. I’m sure something about your beautiful eyes is coming next.

 

[IMCC965]

Now, imagine those migrants have an invention known as the "ladder"!!!!

When was the last time you saw a bunch of starving migrants carry a ladder through the desert? And I'm guessing the coyotes don't give a shit as long as they make it to the border. You guys claim you're smart but again, you're not thinking pragmatically about this.

Often, it is very difficult for me to understand how Trump can maintain around 30-40 percent support. “Surely, no one can be that numbingly dumb. You’d have to have the brains of a garden gnome!” I tell myself.

Then I read posts from IMCC and Northern and it all makes sense.

 

[ping72]

From reading Weber’s comments, it seems that the key to making the wall much more difficult to climb is sealing the gaps between the panels and making the panels about a foot higher.

I'm guessing the gaps are for small animals to get through based on environmental restrictions. So they won't close those up. There needs to be a VERY sharp edge at the top.

I thought Trump said visibility was necessary so cbp agents didn’t get hit in the head by packages of drugs being thrown over the wall.

Seems legit.

LMAO; no, the coyotes will have the ladders for them. Drug runners will use 'em, too.

They do this in Italy as well. Nothing new. THINK about what you're typing. This wall is a HUGE deterrent. Why not bring in helicopters to help them over as well. You guys haven't mentioned that one yet. Hot air balloons? Trampolines? Come guys, think.

So now you're an expert on coyote operations and drug runners? Is there anything you DON'T know?

It's an obstacle, that humans will find easy ways to work around it.

I know you are devoid of any common sense. That also seems to be a FUNFACT

 

[IMCC965]

They literally make climbing gloves.

Literally, they don't. Show me a youtube video where a technical climber is using gloves to go UP the face of a wall.

 

[prlyles]

I am. But does it matter when it comes to the realities of trying to climb a wall in the desert that's blistering hot plus all the other elements?

Wow! just Wow!

 

[IMCC965]

I know you are devoid of any common sense. That also seems to be a FUNFACT

So you could probably get over that wall, right?

You do know cbp has piles of hundreds of discarded ladders, right?

They should make the wall out of the metal that was used for slides when we were kids... those things would cause 3rd degree burns when you went down them during the day.

They do that down in Louisiana too. The tour guide explained that they have liability laws based on the Napoleonic code which doesn’t make the property owner responsible if people get hurt on their land as readily as laws in the rest of the country.

 

[naturalmwa]

Filled with gators...or snakes...or NUKES!!!!

One of the actual proposals for the wall featured a nuclear dump moat. I think it was aimed at stopping tunnels.

Well....how do you know those weren't just from "birders" trying to get a better view of the wall wildlife, bro?

With a ladder? Easily.

A like for making me lol.

As with gun control, I think that we should do nothing until we can establish that this solution will stop all illegal border crossings. Deterrents are not enough. The should be no action taken unless you can show that criminals will have no way of getting around the barrier. Nothing less than 100% is good enough.

Trump seems very concerned that the drugs get through. Sniff sniff.

[SoMplsHawkI]

He's right about it being in the shade. When that metal sits in the desert sun for an hour, it will be too hot to climb.

What about when there is a new moon?

 

[THE_DEVIL]

plot twist: the winner of the competition won with a time of 1.7 seconds with a travel visa and a car.

excellent. well done sir.

 

[Huey Grey]

If it was me, I would just toss a rope ladder over it. Then you can climb both up and down the other side.

 

[WisestIowan]

It gets cold in the desert at night

Not in the south Texas desert. The average low in Laredo in July is 77 with an average high of 99.

 

[MitchLL]

Maybe Pelosi was right... a beaded curtain may have been the answer.

 

[Huey Grey]

The more you pick at it, the dumber this wall becomes.

I don’t recall ever seeing skin blister at 77 degrees.

“Be careful, kids - that wall is slightly warmer than room temperature.”

 

[tumorboy]

What about when there is a full moon and they turn into Mexican Werewolves.

 

[WisestIowan]

I don’t recall ever seeing skin blister at 77 degrees.

The comment was "it gets cold in the desert at night". That is simply not true in South Texas. I don't give a shit about the wall or whatever, just making sure everyone is factually accurate.

 

[tumorboy]

With a ladder? Easily.

Plus those illegals have cantaloupe calves.

 

[UKGrad93]

Why would anyone climb it? I'd just walk through the spaces at the bottom.

 

[timinatoria]

It must not be electrified yet.

This was the correct answer.

 

[TJ8869]

Why would anyone climb it? I'd just walk through the spaces at the bottom.

Are those pillars hollow or solid? If they’re hollow, a $40 cordless angle grinder would cut right through it in very little time at all. Make two cuts, remove a section of one of the pillars, and there’s plenty of room for everyone to walk right through.

Edit - found the answer to my question. The pillars are hollow steel beams filled with concrete and rebar. They can still be easily cut with a circular saw or an angle grinder.

IMCC is a treasure of entertainment, bravo!
