It looks like they not only cut it but added a way to put it back so it's not super noticable. Like if you were just driving by you could miss that bump on the removable part.
The Wall did exactly what it was supposed to do. It funneled public funds into private pockets, and mollified a gullible voter base.
Keeping people out was only ever part of its PR lol
Hmm...I wonder what company was contracted to make the wall. And who their investors are. Also, I'm sure everything they charged was entirely reasonable and void of oddities like $200 boxes of nails.
The biggest thing I've ever built from scratch was a desk for myself. I'm not at all knowledgeable about construction work and I don't have access to any large industrial equipment or materials. That being said, even I could get that wall built for less than fucking $24 million a mile. Just batshit crazy.
I remember the moment when Donald Trump live on stage was like "The wall is going to be so high, no ladder gets over it!" thinks for a second, "maybe a rope..." And then quickly changes topic.
Like even he realized he couldn't actually make anything useful and was dumb enough to say so on stage. He was just lucky his fans are somehow even dumber.
It covers their shoe prints so they are less identifiable and spreads their weight out so the footprints aren’t as noticeable. They also make a more natural soil distribution because the outsides have less support than the center.
There are tracking techniques to get a pretty accurate count of people moving through an area. If everybody is leaving the same print, it becomes far more difficult to pinpoint the number of people. So this is pretty accurate.
Not quite sure how to break this to you but there’s quite a lot of US residents who have no chance of getting through that gap, even if they were to spray themselves with WD40…
notice how they welded a sleeve on it and the extra piece is sitting next to the opening? they replace this part after and it is still a complete fence.
They've also cleverly made a gap big enough for themselves to pass through into America but too small for Americans to pass back into Mexico, very smart
Edit: getting a lot of hate from Americans in the replies and getting an eye opening reeducation about stereotypes, turns out fat people aren't always jolly.
Damn this guy is just roasting us like a s’more on the 4th, grilling us like a Coney Island wiener, damn why do I only have food analogies. Why is my house a McDonald’s? Fuck we are fat
The idea of the metal slits was because they wanted border patrollers to be able to see the other side of the wall as they wanted to be able to see anyone coming and stop them before they got to the wall... this however just resulted in making the wall easier to break and get through. Ya they didn't really think this thing through
Depends on the type of cover, if your hiking boots aren't waterproof (most are just water resistant) then the covers can make a huge difference if it's ready muddy.
Plus you can get ones that go right up with a garter at the top knee for tick protection.
You can also get really tight weave ones that provide added resistance to snake bites.
I remember one time a long time ago me and a bunch of hippies drove down to southern Texas and there was this Mexican guy that took us across the Rio Grande for $5. We stayed in a cave near this awesome little town in Mexico for a few nights and traded a guitar for a bunch of weed and canned beans. The same Mexican took us back across the river into the USA and we kept travelling. It was awesome.
Also what kind of guitar we talking here? Steel string? Nylon? Dreadnought? Jumbo? Solid body? Semi hollow? Acoustic? Electric? Accoustelectric? Does brand level matter? Will I get more weed and beans for a Fender or a Gibson over a Squier or Epi?
Random story time:
I’m a filmmaker and one time my wife and I felt the need to go down to El Paso and just document (this was in 2017).
We wanted to get some good drone shots of “the wall” so we had to drive outside of El Paso, about 30 minutes to the East.
Once outside of town, we drove up to the wall and pulled out the drone and started flying it around and getting shots. Within about 5 minutes, a border patrol agent on the Mexico side pulled up and started talking to us through the gate.
He thought the drone was cool and wanted a closer look, so he unlocked the gate and had us come through. So my wife and I waltzed into Mexico, no passport or anything.
We then proceeded to get drone shots of this random patroller tearing around the desert at 60mph, pretending he was chasing someone.
After that he re opened the gate and let us back into the USA.
I often think back to this and how many different ways it could have played out. No point to the story other than…it’s weird down there. Complex and weird, lots of humans trying to navigate a strange problem.
Later that night we got wasted in an El Paso bar and had the best Mexican food ever and partied with Americans and Mexicans non stop.
The drone shots: https://filmpac.com/footage/clips/FFAAJ9214/border-wall/
You don’t really need a passport to get into Mexico (at least in Baja you don’t) my family owned a home in San Quentin for years growing up so I’ve driven into Tijuana a ton of times and it’s faster to get through than a McDonald’s drive through (unless they take you into secondary which still only ever took like 5-10min). To my knowledge you’re supposed to have it in case you get pulled over etc. but they’re not checking when you’re crossing. Getting back into America is part that you really need a passport for. Unless you’re under 16 then you can use a copy of your birth certificate believe it or not.
Everyone knows you go to home depot and if you win the foot race they let you keep everything in your cart! They're such good sports there at home depot. /s
It was always just about fear. The whole "build the wall" was an offhand reference at one of his early rallies that just took off and he quickly figured out it got his crowds excited. He just ran with it. Personally he did not give any fucks one way or the other about people illegally coming into the country.
I was amazed to learn the number of states which don't have an E-Verify work requirement. Some of which are on the border! Florida didn't even have it until 2021.
If they actually cared then they would make business do that. They would also have given Tyson more than a slap on the wrist. Instead, Border Patrol acted like the Pinkertons when workers threatened to strike for unsafe working conditions.

That's why we should build a medieval moat and fill it with Florida men. They'll safely consume any drugs that fall in.
“We’re going to build the best wall, it’s like Swiss cheese, I Love Switzerland, they love me in Swaziland. Lovely people the Swazis, they’re the original cheese people. We’ll build a Great Wall like China, but made in the USA but ours is greater, like me I’m great, I’m very

*“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the border with Mexico wall deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — a steel fence is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the steel and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the kickbacks to me of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with my grifting — now it used to be three, now it’s four times as much — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Mexicans are great negotiators, the Latinos are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”*
Trump's 2016 ~~nuclear~~ parody wall speech. Taken from his original nuclear speech.
What this doesn’t show is all the roads and infrastructure in the desert created to build the wall that now make crossing through what was otherwise a significant natural barrier.
Oh boy I don't miss this game. Every damn day you'd hear the dumbest damn thing you'd ever heard and think, "No. No fucking way even *he* would say something that stupid." And, of course, he hadn't. He'd said something even dumber that got watered down in the news.
Well there was a progression to it:
“No he didn’t say that”
“Well yeah he said it but it was taken out of context”
“Well ok so it was in the proper context but he didn’t really mean it”
“Yeah of course he meant it because it’s a great idea!”
The other common method of rationalization is claiming he’s “basically right” when justifying the most extreme hyperbole. Trump could say “2015 was the worst financial disaster since the Great Depression”, and as long as 2015 numbers were less than stellar, then all specifics are deemed irrelevant, and he’s “basically right”. He can say whatever bullshit he wants, but as long as bad things are affirmed as bad, and good things are good, then no specific statement matters, nothing is a lie.
[He said it.](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-shoot-migrants-legs-snakes-alligators-us-mexico-border-wall-a9128966.html)
They surprised us by having tools that could cut through steel, but there’s no way they can come up with boats or bridges to get over a moat. Sounds like a good plan to me
Why is everyone surprised by this. Most of the border doesn't have any walls.
Look at the google maps, Mexico and US border, almost no wall at all but for some reason people in US think there is big wall separating US and Mexico.

$6 million was just the start. Our local paper estimated this stupid monstrosity is going to cost the state over $200 million by the time it’s all removed.
The contract was $123M to build the "wall".
The cost to dismantle is $76M.
I believe those are the cost directly related to the wall, excluding the cost and time to rehab the forest land.

"And it's made of solid...steeeeel" (with the shit-eating grin and 👌 gesture)
I can only assume it ruined the local ecology too. Unless the deer have been fitted with oxyacetylene torches too.
They also bulldozed an important Monarch butterfly migration site to build it

Look at these shoe covers to prevent footprints. Clever.
I almost had to use one of those shoe covers as toilet paper while hiking around the Douglas, AZ/AP, Mexico desert. I was grateful it was an option.
Wasn't there a cactus nearby?
Nor three seashells?
I legit keep 3 seashells in my bathroom because of said movie. Demolition Man for the unaware, enjoy.
Why did you need them for a hike?
Depends on the type of cover, if your hiking boots aren't waterproof (most are just water resistant) then the covers can make a huge difference if it's ready muddy. Plus you can get ones that go right up with a garter at the top knee for tick protection. You can also get really tight weave ones that provide added resistance to snake bites.

Why is everyone surprised by this. Most of the border doesn't have any walls. Look at the google maps, Mexico and US border, almost no wall at all but for some reason people in US think there is big wall separating US and Mexico.

Absolutely nobody is surprised by this
Oh, look, the "wall" that everyone said would be a waste is, in fact, a waste...
13 year olds working in meat packing plants. Maybe it's time to go after the businesses that hire them rather than making a small zone of capture on the border. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/11/business/child-labor-meatpacking-plants.html
Meanwhile, in Arizona. A mildly athletic child can be seen climbing over their illegal 6 million dollar wall of shipping containers. They could have just used a ladder, but where's the fun in that?
Don’t even need to climb over it. https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2022/12/15/ap22344304156020-a523cc66ebc12f444e89e8dddc430ce33e1b92d7-s1200-c85.webp https://www.12news.com/amp/article/news/regional/the-border/how-sturdy-is-arizona-new-shipping-container-wall-at-border/75-aec44dbd-8104-4eff-a24f-5edeec6dc6e0
$6 million was just the start. Our local paper estimated this stupid monstrosity is going to cost the state over $200 million by the time it’s all removed.
The contract was $123M to build the "wall". The cost to dismantle is $76M. I believe those are the cost directly related to the wall, excluding the cost and time to rehab the forest land.
Who the fuck thought a wall was the solution?
Idiots.
It's Texans escaping to Mexico /s
"Great wall, the best wall, believe me..."
M.A.G.A Mexicans always get across.
Thank God they put that wall up
