Migrants Hurting Themselves Falling off "Unclimbable" Wall

The 30-foot wall paid for by Mexico was some political shit cooked up by Donald Trump. To actually do it will alienate Mexico and will be harmful to people and businesses living on or near our southern border. Perhaps, after we alienate Mexico, China could drop a military base or 2 in Mexico. It seems to me like we would be better off dealing with our southern border problem in a better way.

 

So, if I understand you correctly, you’re saying that the primary cause of the injury caused by falling off a 30-foot wall is actually the screwed up U.S. policies that we have had with respect to Latin America and with respect to our domestic drug laws, etc. for decades. That makes sense to me.

 

I have generally not been a fan of the concept of a wall. However, in selective areas a barrier may make sense.

As long as we have a policy where you get across and say “asylum” and you are basically in for years, people will continue overrunning the border.

 

I agree about having barriers in selective areas. As for getting across and saying "asylum," I think that is allowed under the law. However, I don't believe that asylum seekers want to have to ford the Rio Grande to get into the USA. They would much prefer crossing at legal border crossings. There are 48 US-Mexico border crossings with 330 ports of entry. If we made it easier for asylum seekers to enter the US at these ports of entry, then they would stop entering illegally.

 

Always on the low road.

 

You call a sense of humor in the radioactively toxic snowglobe, 'the low road'? Lol! How typically ignorant, foolish, hyper sensitive, insulated, and ...funny... of you!

 

It won't be long before we're the ones dying trying to climb that wall.

 

I think you should sell your home and move into a tent, so anyone who wants your stuff can just come inside and grab it. That way nobody gets hurt trying to break into your solid structure home.

The U.S. isn’t on the hook for any of these injuries. All you have to do is grab them by the hair, drag them back through the wall and throw them back into Mexico. That sounds like a pretty good deterrent to me, and the wall is serving its function

 

well, apparently yes…hence the injury from the fall

 

….and flamethrowers. Don’t forget the flamethrowers.

 

I’m afraid you’ve lost me there.

 

flamethrowers are awesome deterrents. Apparently most people don’t want to be set on fire.

 

Sounds like it needs to be taller or equipped with some defenses if the criminals trespassing into our country are only being injured. It should be able to deter them or stop them. Maybe electrification or a giant spatula that can catapult them back to their home country.

 

Didn’t they have those giant spatulas back in the days of castles and moats?

 

Keep going. Torsion catapults date back to Alexander the Great. Trebuchets are probably what you’re referring to. (I told my wife that the thousands of hours I’ve wasted playing Civilization would pay off one day. I have arrived!)

 

I was thinking of catapults.

 

I like the idea of giant spatulas better.

 

I know this is meant as a joke but I wonder what percentage of people would be willing to close the door behind them after they get through?

 

Ask those that fell and got hurt
