    The things you're suggesting HAVE to have democrat support. A Constitutional Amendment? You do know what that requires right?

    Give us 60-65 republicans in the senate or it IS the fault of the democrats.

    Democrats, right now, are refusing to provide services to US citizens and our military to support ILLEGAL immigrants. THOSE are their MODERATE democrats. The people waiting in the wings to replace them are even more nuts.

    Politically you would be crucified if you " patched em up and sent em home" as you suggested. Just ain't gonna happen.

    Dude, you're talking about hundreds of miles of terrain.

    Here's another thought: How far back from the border are you building this white elephant? What's to stop people from building buildings 30 feet or higher next to it? Even if separated by 50 feet, that's not impassable.

    How much US territory are you planning to seize from American citizens and then effectively cede to the Mexicans? How are you going to stop them from building something next to the wall? You already said even commandos can't cross it, so how will Border Patrol officers go over to remove ladders, buildings, etc?

    My 79 lb. aluminum canoe is a challenge to snatch overhead and land the portage yoke on my shoulders, and then walk distance with it, but I'm only 70 and have been doing the move since my teenage years. If terrain is rough I leave my pack and make two trips.

    What is ridiculous is to witness the incoherence of the descendants of those who genocided, raped, slaughtered and slaved their way onto a land mass to then start a bogus land grab war with Mexico to steal even more land blathering on about “illegals” that their Wall Street/donor/”job creator” class power structure has always wanted here.

    With Trump elected president, illegal crossings across the south border dropped by what? 40%? Trump already IS the WALL. And the physical WALL will cut another 40% of illegal crossings.

    WHF do you oppose that? :juggle:

    Giant walls need giant ladders. Not so easy to sneak over the wall carrying a big heavy ladder around, and then pulling it up after you and getting down on the other side all unnoticed.

    But you go ahead and imagine whatever you want.

    Once again you show your ignorance of how remote and rugged most of the border with Mexico is.

    Sure.

    Tell me at what point in history we had the votes to get a constitutional amendment ending it.

    You do realize Pope was a Democrat don't you? You do realize the land Pope's war took from Mexico was taken from the indigenous population by them in the first place don't you? Or do you?

    And this has what to do with scaling a potential wall on the Southern border?

    It's useful to realize that there isn't a region on earth that isn't filled today with people who took that land away from another group of people
    That's certainly how the peaceful native Americans handled their business. Bloody warfare and slavery for the losers.
    It's to our credit that we even discuss how the nation was built and that we at least admit building a nation is bloody work.

    I certainly agree that the globalists (Bush/Obama) that don't believe in borders and want endless cheap labor from an unending supply of poorly educated third world labor are to blame for the problems we see today. Now what?

    Is there a purpose to the angry rant? Or do you just like to vent your rage?

    What's funny (and sad) is that within a year of a wall being built, it will become the world's longest tag wall and I bet 90% of those tags will be derogatory of Trump - and THAT will become the symbol of America - not the Statue of Liberty.

    40 ft extension ladders weigh as little as 63 pounds.

    It is my firm opinion that the illegals should try these ladders, but without any supervision or help from OSHA, and no funds for broken bones or necks.
