It’s Official: Trump’s ‘Impenetrable’ Border Wall Is An Expensive Failure

What amazed me was the whole idea of a wall would be a cost benefit, noting that 50% of illegal immigrants are visa overstays and a 2000 mile wall is absurd, leaving hundreds of miles of open borders, the coyotes would just go around, or over, which they did. Not only did Mexico not pay for it, it was a colossal failure.

Former President Donald Trump promised his supporters an “impenetrable” border wall between the United States and Mexico. Instead, the $15 billion wall was reportedly breached thousands of times in areas where it was completed, and the smugglers who cut through it were able to do so with cheap power tools available in retail stores.

Unpublished data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection obtained via the Freedom of Information Act showed that Mexican smugglers cut through the wall 3,272 times over three years, according to The Washington Post. In some cases, they replaced the areas they cut with tinted putty, essentially creating secret passages.

 

I'll always wonder how much of that cost went into trump's pocket.

 

Another wall bashing post without proof
If barriers are so ineffective then why don’t you remove the doors from your house

 

LOL. Glad they erected a wall up around the capitol for the SOTU. Oh, wait a minute, walls don't work.

 

I would get in trouble with my landlord.

 

Nope, but it looks impressive.

 

I need my news source to be honest, hard hitting, non partial, brutally honest and fair. So I use yahoo.com and Huff.

 

ITS OFFICIAL: FRONT DOOR LOCKS ARE AN EXPENSIVE FAILURE

• There are over 3,370 burglaries happening in the US every day.

What amazed me was the whole idea of door locks being a cost benefit, noting that 3370 burglaries happen EVERY DAY, and 34% of those are through the front door.

Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah...

 

Once again we are presented with another garbage post...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/03/02/trump-border-wall-breached/

Where is this ""Unpublished data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection obtained via the Freedom of Information Act showed that Mexican smugglers cut through the wall 3,272 times over three years, according to The Washington Post. "" . I take anything WaPo puts out as an outright lie until what they publish is verified by credible sources... Let's have a look at the secret data they have but won't let us see....
WaPo sure does some top notch garbage reporting

"""said one person with detailed knowledge of the sawing tactics who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters. """

Who are these CBP officials?
""CBP officials say the bollard fencing remains a valuable border security tool when combined with surveillance technology and sufficient personnel. Many of the wall segments where breaching has occurred lack the sensors, cameras and other detection tools called for in original designs, they say. Once those tools are in place, agents will be able to respond faster, they say."

""When fitted with specialized blades, the saws can slice through one of the barrier’s steel-and-concrete bollards in minutes, according to the agents, who spoke on the condition of anonymity"""

Nobody claimed it would be impenetrable despite your quotes around the word. The wall was launched at the request of the border patrol to slow illegal immigration. It is hasn't been finished yet. There is no longer a reason to slow illegal immigration because the current administration supports it and works overtime to increase it. It is all a matter of perspective, right?

 

LOL. That 'almost' calls for a duhhhhhhh.

 

Sorry Libs, you don’t get to drive illegal immigration through the roof from numbers that were vastly improved from the Obama mess of illegal immigration and tell us what works and doesn’t work. You clearly have no clue. Either that or you purposely want unmitigated illegal immigration.

Either way, zero credibility. Consider yourselves cancelled from ever being taken seriously on this subject

 

Wals like locked doors only keep out honest people.

 

Then why do you lock your door?

 

Who cares? it was Mexico who paid for it.... oh wait a minute

 

Mexican smugglers cut through the wall 3,272 times over three years,

 

Actually, we had a decrease in the number of illegal border crossings during the Obama years. In fact, the illegal immigration population was smaller at the beginning of 2017 than it was at the beginning of 2009. Of course this has more to do with economic and social circumstances in Mexico and central America than it does any policies in the United States.

 

So what's the solution guys? A country without an operational border is not a country.

 

Which means that 66% AREN'T.

 

Which changes nothing in regards to the point made in my post.

Thank you for the irrelevancy though , there just are not enough strawmen being made around here. Thanks for doing your part.

 

Prove it... show us the report WaPo refers to that started the OP.. it is pretty sad we depend on WaPo and secret report and anonymous sources...

 

Do you walk through a wall to get out of the room you are in?

 

Would be through, LLCs, shell corps and cash kickbacks.

 

They did! Mexico made a cardinal mistake when they paid for it however; they handed Trump the cash directly.
