Border Wall

It will be interesting if it ever gets built. The only way to prove it works is to build that wall and see what the results will be. I think we do in fact, need to either prove it effective or not, but the only real results and proof will be in getting that wall up there and see what happens. Not doing anything will not work so there has to be a wall of some kind, come hell or high water. I know it now. It is going to have to happen. We can not afford to keep the government shut down indefinitely and will lose more than 5.7 billion if we keep things closed rather than just go ahead and see if that wall works. And keep America moving again. We can not keep our doors closed to progress. Good bad or ugly. What I mean by progress is civilization as we know it, not necessarily that wall.

@lookatdesktop It is a lot of money as you say it to see if it works.If people are desperate they will find a way around it.

@sh2ker , They really need to test out each design, as to it's ability to sustain itself under certain conditions like the weather, wind, storms, fires, impacts by a vehicle, human attempts to climb or bend or cut or burn or dig. The fact is, none of these ideas will work even if they are deemed favorable as real possibility to do so based on the expense, materials needed, manpower to build, equipment, and availability of materials, and manpower and how to connect the dots with roads, rivers, cities and topographic areas, unless proper preparedness is taken into proper consideration. Planning ahead is the best plan to start this type of high level border construction on many different levels. The fact is, this will be a major engineering undertaking. There are so many other infrastructures to consider first, like limiting access to and from America across already extant ports of entry by making certain that trucks carrying cargo and other vehicles are properly and completely inspected for contraband and illegal substances or human cargo. So much to consider along with the fact that manpower to prevent illegal entry at all major points are covered first and contingencies to further maintain potential entry points across the entire perimeter. Some home owners have experienced many instances of persons from Mexico, crossing at various intervals directly across their private property lines and so on. Measures to patrol, and control both those leaving the United States and entering across the most highly traveled crossings need to be protected by 24/7 law enforcement. The bottom line will be that the will of the majority favors the wall rather than the determination only of one or the few who have personal agendas that do not reflect the views or intentions of the rest of the people who are responsible for doing what is morally and ethically right for the nation and it's people as a free nation. If the wall is nothing more than an obsession of a singularly obsessed individual without being a concerted effort by the government as a whole, it is an idea that should altogether be abandoned as too unpopular for the majority of those who hold power within the US government system.

Yea, bigger is better so why not make them a little higher.

Do you need a good laugh? Here is something to cheer you up.

@lookatdesktop I totally agree.

Everyone is and the wall can wait. WE need to open up the government so we can have law and order restored in the White House.

Here is one video that has more to say about things.

@lookatdesktop We'll have to agree to disagree on that. It was never a good idea to build the Iron Curtain and nobody needed hindsight to see that.

@boiboing , We need to reopen the government. We can not afford the long standoff. But I understand how bad the idea of a border wall is to habitat.

The only way to figure out how good or bad such idea is, will be to let Trump have his wall. Time will tell and history will tell the story to future generations so people can learn from hind sight.
