If they can get to the top of it they’ll find a way down

They will have at least 25 feet or 2 to 3 stories to come down. I wonder how many broken bones we will have to pay for?

Razor wire on the American side would be a good idea along with the fence. They would think twice about climbing the fence.

Perry got his biggest applause when he came out against the 700 miles of border fencing Congress passed into law last year. He said it was a waste of money and would be ineffective.

Im gonna email that guy and just tell him he needs to get rid of that ineffective fence, it is blocking wildlife etc etc...

Provisions that did not make in into the law include requiring localities to enforce immigration laws

In other words he signed a piece of tp. Interesting he signed this in San Antonio which is a sanctuary city.

I just did the math on the estimated $6B to build the first 854 miles of fence.

That is 854miles * 5,280ft/mile = 4.5 million feet, which means over $1,300 per foot of fence.

You can string a 6 coil pyramid of razorwire for $20 per foot, and have it done in a week, while the fence crews follow at their slower pace.

Been to Houston lately? My 3 brothers live in the Clear Lake, Nasa area and my mother lived in a condo on Bay Area BLVD. If I recall correctly the city is mostly run by Black elected officials and there is a large Asian population.
