Iraq is building a concrete wall along part of its border with Syria to stop ISIS group militants from infiltrating, an Iraqi military source said Sunday.
In the "first stage" of construction, a wall around "a dozen kilometers (seven miles) long and 3.5 meters (11 feet) high was built in Nineveh province", in the Sinjar area of northwest Iraq, a senior officer told AFP, requesting anonymity.
Iraq, which shares a more than 600-kilometer long border with Syria, seeks to "put a stop to the infiltration of ISIS members" into its territory, the source added, without specifying how long the wall would eventually run.
Iraq in 2018 said it had begun building a fence along the Syrian border for the same reason.

Pretty racist…>p->
Had cateract surgery this morning…
Okay then, ISIS fighters will have to find an open border to cross now. Wonder where they can find one?
It seems a if the Biden administration iw will to help any country build walls to keep illegals and dangerous terrorists but not for our own defense. I wonder if we are paying for their wall.
Kind of looks you were nipping at the bottle a little, as well. Not that I am in any position to judge....
Wouldn’t surprise me in the least bit.
...and probably using American taxpayers' money to pay for it, if past history is any indicator...

The Pope’s not gonna like this.
Land mines would be more effective.
Might require a connection or two, but just fly them to any of our Reynosa, Ciudad Juarez, Neuvo Laredo, Matamoros. They'll find opportunities.
Walls don’t work. Democrats did everything possible, including stop construction, to prove it.
