Why "The Wall" is such a dumb idea

Obviously I'm not alluding to the Pink Floyd album, which was a very good idea.

All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

Wow, the penalty for failure looks pretty extreme as you get near the top!
 
On a related note, I find it humorous that the Pope is against the building of walls around countries when "his" country has something like 40' walls around the entire thing...

If I gave my opinion on this I would say "The whole point of the wall is money made and whom's going to profit from it" not that it is intended to really "DO ANY GOOD"  
You know like the illusion of an election etc.

Sometimes I wish I could un-read things. But, of course, I can't. Dern.

Great video...them fellers is in top notch shape. I don't think I could even carry that ladder at a walk all the way to the wall.

I think the prime time show would be boring and not sell a lot of advertising! Gotta look at the bottom line!
 
The other guy's can at least get the SNL audience and half the Coffee House. We might even get a laugh now and then ... who knows?

You know I agree that if we are going to be a nation we should at least make an attempt to secure our borders, if there is a threat.. but I always wonder why no one remembers the Berlin Wall. The point being that without armed guards, willing and ready to shoot... it wouldn't have worked. We've had an open border with Mexico for hundreds of years and it's an ebb and flow but it has always worked. Most of it is a desert and it seems to me that if we really wanted to do it, some people with the job of catching people could pretty much do it... but I think no one really wants to. Everyone wants someone else to do it but wants them to be nice about it. Meanwhile thousands of dollars change hands and everything remains the same. As long as we have a "war on drugs" we are going to have a porous border.
We should import and breed thousands of Honey Badgers and let them loose along the border. Yeah... that!

Oh yeah, and FEMA bought $1 Billion worth of disposable coffins (big, black, stackable, plastic things that can hold five bodies each - they're stored all over the country).  Must be for zombies, ya?

The wall.

Let's see.

US-Mexico border is about 2,000 miles.

So that means enough bodies to police a 2,000 mile wall 24 hours a day. Plus the support staff, the people and resources needed to supply the garrison, homes and schools building and all the necessary equipment.

I hope the US public enjoy paying taxes because that little lot is going to cost a fortune.

I don't blame anyone for wanting to be here, but we need a system and laws that our government will at least enforce. It's crazy how long it takes when you follow the rules and try to do things the right way, but...it's worse to have no rules at all.
Surely the Dems and Pubs can find a compromise, but until then just follow the law. It doesn't seem like too much to ask.
Bit was trying to post a funny video (which I hope he continues to do), and I'm afraid I've helped in ruining the joke.
Sorry for that.

The wall will not be built because of structural or financial reasons.
