(10,749 posts)They're builders, not police. And they're (presumably) building to the specs they were given.
To be fair, he didn't penetrate the wall; he climbed over it. Don't know if it's impenetrable, but it's definitely surmountable.

(12,512 posts)he must have forgot to install the "pointy tops" and paint them "black" so they burn your skin while the pointy tops cut the skin.
I think that's how The Donald said it was supposed to work.

Of course there's no reason females and kids can't get over, but on average adult males will have an easier time.

(25,816 posts)I once contracted to build the masonry on an Auto Zone building in Douglas, Az., a border town.
Across the street was a thicket of trees, and from the scaffolding on our job, you could see people
peeking out of the trees, and then running 10 or 12 at a time into town. (where the population is probably
60 to 70 % Hispanic.
I have lived 10 miles from the border for 40 years and never, ever had any trouble with crossers,
only white trash crankers that steal (twice). The number of crossers is far, far less than it used to be.
The wall is a joke and I hope Biden "tears down this wall!".

(58,785 posts)some way, whatever was felt needed for the kind of traffic there. Of course, the federal government owns a narrow strip along the border across CA, AZ. and NM, so whatever was felt needed was already taken care of across those states. We lost touch with friends whose house backed to that, with a beautiful view out across the desert in Mexico, but they would be outraged if it was replaced with Trump's spite fence.
I heard Biden said he will leave the spite fence built so far up, though he didn't put it quite that way. I'm guessing environmental and high-maintenance problems in some sections could lead to returning to something like this. Hospitalization and rehab for injured fence climbers are also undesirable sequelae.
"Caution, critters crossing."
I just got back from your neighborhood. I went down to pick up some new chickens in Palominas. Pleasantly greeted by the seller commenting favorably on the Biden/Harris sticker on my car.

(9,683 posts)First, the gown tRump is wearing has 3 stripes which normally indicates the wearer is a PHD. tRump? Ha ha. He's faking it again like a Time magazine cover.
Second, as a so-called PHD he should be wearing a tam but as you see nothing is on his head. Probably to protect that orange weasel-thing he calls a hairdo.
