Hard pass
 
Two things,


Your picture is cropped to leave out that unlike all other photos of the barrier I’ve seen, that one had a halfway up point where you can stand. That’s obviously a terrible design and I can only imagine it is there for a reason, perhaps a pass through/gate of sorts. Whatever it is, those would obviously be where guards need to be stationed.

Second, I’m a bit dubious of that entire situation. Last I checked illegals don’t typically bring camera crews and reporters to document their crossings. I would be very interested to find out who paid for that. That being said, it wouldn’t surprise me if criminals know where those weak points are. However, it took 3 men to get one over (at least the story I read) and certainly women and children aren’t doing it, so even that flawed area is a good deterrent.

Furthermore, even a big beautiful gold trimmed wall will need electronic monitoring eventually.


....

The numbers I quoted were from early on, and while they may have risen, you have to keep in mind, humans are quite resourceful. I’ve always stated the most determined will likely be able to cross anything. Which is why they need to be met with other layers of border security, and most importantly laws that kick their asses out. I’m encouraged to see the most recent changes in catch and releas, etc.




But that step ladder portion of the barrier is full potato if left unguarded.

I did a shitload of google searching and finally found the original photo. It turns out you are right:

That's the border between Sunland Park, NM and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

The National Border Patrol Council is endorsing the wall design on the far right here:

The tubular design at the top prevents ropes from catching to allow a climb. Also it's 30 ft. tall and probably a lot more durable than the existing fence.
 
We'll see. His presidency will succeed or fail depending on how well the wall goes.

I mean.... Hes over 25% done. He hasnt exactly made massive progress. And dems are likely to take a shot at any wall plans or funding

25% done his first term. If the wall takes shape and the economy stays strong, Trump will win re-election easily.

On the wall, the Democrats are currently powerless to stop the Republicans other than with frivolous lawsuits. Right now it's the Republicans who are stalling. Trump needs to step up.

Yes.... 25% done. Thee wall is an absolute guarentee to not be do e before hes out of office, even if he gets all the funding he wants. It would be a massive government project.

He has been fucking around with his supposedly all important wall. He has not tried to force congress to act even 1 time. And it is far from certain his party still have control soon. His words dont match his actions.

I don't believe the wall needs to be completed in order for Trump to be re-elected. I believe he needs to secure funding and start significant construction.

The rest of your comment I do agree with.
 
Can we escort them on through to Canada when they get here?
 
First group from Honduran caravan crosses into Mexico
by Julia Ainsley / Oct. 19, 2018



The U.S. government is now tracking a small group of immigrants from the Honduran migrant caravan who crossed into southern Mexico on Thursday night, a border President Donald Trump made clear he did not want the migrants to cross in order to prevent them from arriving at the U.S. southern border.

The breakaway group crossed over the Succhiate River separating Guatemala and Mexico, according to an internal U.S. document obtained by NBC News. They are soon to be followed by a group of 3,000 migrants who have congregated in Guatemalan border town of Tecun Uman, which is located about 25 miles south of Tapachula, Mexico.

The group of migrants, gathered in the town's central park, were preparing to make a decision by early afternoon about how to enter Mexico. Among the options: cross Tecun Uman's border bridge by foot and face detention or try to make it across the Succhiate River undetected.

"If migration and the federal police do not allow us access, we will do the impossible to cross into Mexico," one of the migrants shouted to the others.

A separate group of roughly 500 migrants are expected to join the others later Friday. Another large caravan of roughly 1,000 Hondurans recently crossed into El Salvador as they make their way north.

In a tweet on Thursday morning, Trump raised pressure on Mexico "to stop this onslaught," adding "if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!"

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is traveling to Mexico on Friday to meet with his counterparts, where he will continue to pressure the country to stop migrants from passing through Mexico to the United States.

Their travel patterns could trigger a crackdown on the border by the Trump administration. Senior administration officials say Trump is "dead serious" about taking drastic measures, including sealing the border, but is likely to hold off until after the Nov. 6 midterms. The first wave of the caravan is due to reach the United Stated border just around that time.

I could climb it.
 
This is a national security threat to the US. You guys need to be rough. Imprison them, separate families, etc. Be rough. Send the message GTFO of my country.

All sane countries around the non western world do this. Some shoot to kill or torture ask the arabs. Or africans! Dont need to be like them though.
 
The Left in America and around the world love this type of thing, get rid of the borders. They want to dilute the host population as much as possible.
They aren't interested in their own society on in their political party and their jobs. It's amazing that these people get paid by the tax-payers yet they don't care about these same people.

They hate national identity. It's the same in Britain and Australia. The Left look down upon the population of the country, the culture and traditions. They want every single country to be exactly the same, no identity. No Aussieness, Britishness, etc, get rid of all that creates differences between countries.

That better not be the design. It took me less than a minute to figure out how to easily get over that with nothing more than rope. Hell, give me 5 minutes and I'd have a way to safely ferry elderly and babies, too. That shit's horrible!

What separates this group from the tons of other groups that have emigrated to Amreica through history? in 1980 only 25% Americans reported English ancestry by 2010 it was less than 10%, the original identity is far gone.
 
Who are the political operatives that told these people trying to enter our country illegally was a good idea?

41% approval rating does not win you re election lol
