Each of the contracts is between $300,000 to $500,000 ...

Trump has explained that parts of the wall must be “transparent” so officials can see what’s happening on the Mexico side ...

"And I'll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them, they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over. As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs," he said ...

1. Please please please let me be walking the wall and get hit with a bag of weed

2. Mexico reacts to concept of glass wall

[marybourg]

3. Sure, see thru, but impervious to battering.

Sounds easy-peezy.

4. "So they can see what's happening on the Mexico side"

Lol

5. Why does this feel like the Wall will be like the Emperor's New Clothes?

"Yeah, sure the Wall is right there, you just can't see it!"

8. I know, they can build one of those electronic "dog fence" walls and just

make every Mexican wear a collar that will shock them when they try to go through it. Problem solved!

And now Vicente Fox has a word for Trump on his "fucken" wall:

?t=5

9. Wht not just a Force Field?

See-thru mirror?

Tinted Glass?

Hell, why not just pretend there's an invisible wall there? We have a pretend Democracy anyway, why not just an imaginary wall?

Hey, how about Masking Tape? "You better not cross that line mister"!

Better yet...Plastic Wrap! That's the ticket!

11. I have a Brilliant Idea

Why not use all those Confederate Statues and Monuments? Just line up your General Lee's, your Beauregard's, your Stonewalls?

We're looking for a way to get rid of them. Line them up facing Mexico. There's got to be nothing more scary than a bronze Jefferson Davis scowling down at you from horseback.

We could even line up all the Tiki Torch Nazis to stand vigil, and then build our own wall behind them.
