Last I heard, Donald ordered some "prototypes" to placate his supporters

It's an old scam. Run on racial resentment, deliver oligarchy.

It came down in 89. A symbol for the fall of Russian communism.

People are building up to much money in the 1st round. If they go into Rd 2 with over 100,000 there is no way on Earth they don't sign the contract. Takes the suspense out if you ask me.

I heard the Chinese had great success with theirs.

It was a bit of a flop in theatres but it was an entertaining flick for what it was.

Seems like a broken promise. Gonna have to find another way to keep the Canadians out.

it's there only mentally ill liberals can't see it due to their mental illness

Mexicans are flooding to the border to put sacks of pesos and corn tortillas on the line so we can collect it and fund the wall.

Fences are fine but walls.....especially if that wall is right behind the fence that already exists, then it’s twice as racist

 

[Ophydian]

Taco Bell should fund the wall s future generations of Americans have no clue what semi authentic Mexican food should taste like.

Ok so since every single response was sarcastic i take it the wall thing was just to secure redneck votes and they wont actually build one?

It is going to be most beautiful wall ever, so naturally it will take years to design.

Except when walls work:

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Israel Security Agency report that in 2002, there were 452 fatalities from terrorist attacks. Before the completion of the first continuous segment (July 2003) from the beginning of the Second Intifada, 73 Palestinian suicide bombings were carried out from the West Bank, killing 293 Israelis and injuring over 1,900. After the completion of the first continuous segment through the end of 2006, there were only 12 attacks based in the West Bank, killing 64 people and wounding 445.[6] Terrorist attacks declined in 2007[6] and 2008[48] to 9 in 2010.[49]

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs predicts that completion of the barrier will continue to prevent terrorist attacks[50] since "[a]n absolute halt in terrorist activities has been noticed in the West Bank areas where the fence has been constructed."[46]

Israeli officials (including the head of the Shin Bet) quoted in the newspaper Maariv have said that in the areas where the barrier was complete, the number of hostile infiltrations has decreased to almost zero. Maariv also stated that Palestinian militants, including a senior member of Islamic Jihad, had confirmed that the barrier made it much harder to conduct attacks inside Israel. Since the completion of the fence in the area of Tulkarm and Qalqilyah in June 2003, there have been no successful attacks from those areas. All attacks were intercepted or the suicide bombers detonated prematurely.[51] In a March 23, 2008 interview, Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shalah complained to the Qatari newspaper Al-Sharq that the separation barrier "limits the ability of the resistance to arrive deep within [Israeli territory] to carry out suicide bombing attacks, but the resistance has not surrendered or become helpless, and is looking for other ways to cope with the requirements of every stage" of the intifada.[52]

Israel also has UHC so that means we should too right?

Israel also has UHC so that means we should too right?

How is that relevant? We are talking about a wall to keep out illegal immigration, drugs and crime from Mexico, Israel put up a wall to keep out illegal immigration and terrorism, and it seemed to work very well.

Hello, as you can see from the replies, sherdog is no longer a place to come for facts or news, it's now just snide remarks from sad liberals.


If you care to actually know, the wall prototypes were just tested for durability with jackhammers. This was during December.



LOL at liberals here thinking a large project like this happens in a few weeks. FFS, Obama couldn't get a fucking website built.
