Why don’t they just put a 100 ft fence around the place, then an Army division outside of that, then a Marine division around the place outside of that. That’ll make sure that none of “WE the People ...” ever get close to the “People’s house!”

Good. When they are done designing it, put one along the southern border.

NOT around the White House.

(To think George Washington sent the troops who were going to guard him home...)

This fence will stop an armed drone I suppose?

Who cares about the aircraft when we need to be more concerned about keeping the Illegal Immigrant-in-Chief behind bars?

Hell just put a hot wire on top of the fence. Very high voltage with low amperage. That will simply stun them. An alternative is High Voltage and high amperage. That will will fry them, with a very low rate of recidivism.

The hot wire could be defeated with a little skill. If this happens apply lethal force. It is easier to kill them than try and catch them. Let the dogs loose and if they escape the dogs, shoot them.

How about no? A taller fence won’t help - those want to get in will just bring longer ladders. No more guards either. That will just inflame the tensions and endanger innocent passersby. The best security for the WH border is electronic monitors, and nothing more. Either it works, or it doesn’t. But we’re assured such a measure is the most effective method of protecting the border of the country, it must also apply the the WH border.

Yet we won’t build one on the Mexican border.

Here’s an idea. Do nothing and just have the security team do their jobs. This is what happens when the people who have been hired to take care of the President is managed by an incompetent affirmative action pick.

I agree. Shoot the dogs for incompetence if they can't catch the intruder.

Taller than the one along our national southern border?
