We'll take it... It'd make a great goat catapult.

This is why the wall is so fucking silly. Border security is no joke, it is something we need to do better on. A wall is not an answer, a wall is a symbol that inspires dum-dums who don't understand the realities of the border and who can't imagine how you could get over a real big wall. I started a thread about this and got hated on hard, but the reality is that the real dangerous border crossing groups already use tunnels regularly, and then of course there are catapults. Mac Dre would be proud, we truly have gone doo doo dumb

It’s not. Fuck off, kid.

Border security is no joke

So stop laughing, idiot.

it is something we need to do better on.

Hence wall.

A wall is not an answer

It is. Fuck off, kid.

a wall is a symbol

Of “Fuck off, we’re full.”

that inspires dum-dums who don’t understand

So… All Mexicans.

I started a thread about this and got hated on hard

Because you’re an idiot.

but the reality is that the real dangerous border crossing groups already use tunnels regularly

Which will be destroyed.

and then of course there are catapults

Not for people.

Mac Dre would be proud, we truly have gone doo doo dumb

Stop projecting your retardation onto others. You know nothing.

If border security is no joke then one would think a wall, barbed wire, ground penetrating radar, constant aerial surveillance in every recordable spectrum as well as an infestation of feral laser-cats would be preferable. Stating outright that a wall is not the answer without offering any explanation or alternate solutions seems counter to the whole concept of taking border security seriously.

I have offered alternatives in earlier threads. But they would involve aerial and electronic surveillance. More man power and better staffing at the legal crossings (a huge amount of drugs and weapons cross through legal crossings). It would also involve a change in our drug laws that enrich and empower the drug lords that make central America such a hell for normal civilians as well as a change in our economic relationship to these regions so that they can develop into more than near slave plantations. It could certainly involve stretches of physical barrier, especially in places where cities straddle the border. I just think the idea a 1500 mi long 40 foot tall wall is preposterous. Especially from a country that hasn't found the means to upgrade our rail systems in my lifetime and that has not been able to find the wherewithal to maintain our basic road infrastructure. The tariffs that are supposedly going to 'make mexico pay for it' are really just going to make American consumers pay for it, and it seems to me that it would be much more efficient use of resources to cover the border with a network of electronic surveilence and a significant increase in manpower.
