So this isn't turning out to be the big beautiful wall we all were promised. I'd argue a 250 mile extension with steel slats isn't even that big of a deal anymore. I thought, bare minimum, a large concrete barrier spanning all but the most inhospitable sections of the border, equal to or greater than the one Israel has. That included rebuilding the shitty walls/barriers already on the border that invaders easily climb over or tunnel under. I thought Netanyahu's support of the wall and friendship with Trump would've gotten us some big time help from them. They have 440 miles of barrier.


Ideally? A system identical to the comprehensive setup Saudi Arabia has. With tall concrete slabs near the cities and more populated areas. They have 600 miles of barrier. They're also an ally of ours.


Surely we should be able to do what Israel or Saudi Arabia can do, right? Nope, all we can manage is endless defense budget increases. Building something like this would just be too controversial and traumatizing to the American public and their pathological need to be "not racist".

Those are pictures of real walls and real solutions. It's sad the greatest country on earth, supposedly, is being forced to settle for this shoddy barrier, which might have to be even shorter if we are forced to compromise on the measly 5.6 Billion funding.
