Current Events > Trump is visiting the Border Wall prototypes right now

(+) Yeah! (+)

He's testing out the samples. I wonder what decision he'll make?

The prototypes that comes out of the taxpayers paychecks.

But just a few weeks ago they said it was a metaphor and we shouldnt expect a real wall.

I like the 2nd and last ones

Me too. Just make it sheet metal and it'll be too hot to touch for a large amount of time

We could do border security for far less and be far more effective with drones and autonomy, but good luck convincing people to allow 24/7 AI controlled drone flight on US soil.
---

I just noticed the 3rd one has an angled part at the top.

They could install solar panels on that!

The metaphor just got 10 feet realer

I would be okay with it if they were unarmed

Well yea, not like they're going to have permission to strike anything. It'd be more about having better "eyes on target" for spotting smugglers so border security can be more effective with their ground resources.

That'd be pretty dope actually... hmmm

It is not at all economical to have solar panels spread out in a formation like that though.

It would be like this (pretend each - is a solar panel)

instead of like this

one formation is way better when it comes to cost-efficiency and ease of connecting to the grid.

Suddenly trumpers don't care about those hard-earned taxpayer dollars going to waste...

I guess it depends on whether the purpose would be to connect to the grid or power devices such as motion sensitive cameras connected directly to the wall without needing to be connected to the grid.

Man if they make the American side a rock climbing wall we could have the world's largest free outdoor gym.

You could do something like that to create little off-grid setups for equipment yeah, but I was making that point to dispel any notion of a "solar wall" like was talked about in the media a while back.

Trump is currently climbing each wall to make sure it meets max weight specifications.
---

Man, I really hope someone tosses a bag of drugs over one of the walls that aren't see-through and bonks him on the head!

I want this to happen and be televised live. It would be the only time I ever choose to watch him on TV

I'm not entirely sure "fleecing gullible rubes" is an actual GOOD use of taxpayer money.

The wall eventually pays for itself if its good enough. I am open to the argument that a wall is an inefficient way to deal with our illegal alien problem, but at least its more likely to maintain some level of security if we elect an open borders democrat in the future.

Its amazing how of all the extra shit our federal government wastes money on, leftists bitch about something as fundamental as borders. Sure, the governments job isnt to enforce border laws, its job is to force me to pay your grocery bill. Ok.

Mexico's border isn't a threat. Mexico itself isn't a threat. Most illegals come by plane. There's no need for the wall.

Looking at his prototypes, Trump said today he wants to be able to see through his wall: you have to have see through. You have to know what's on the other side of the wall.

still as much of a dumbass as ever, I see.
---

They should put some solar panels on it and electrify it. Like a giant bug zapper.
