In a visit to one of the construction sites in September, T rump said the border wall is “virtually impenetrable” and could not be climbed.
Now he is trying to defend his wall concept from the reports of all the episodes of it being defeated in real life by simple reticulated sawing or ladders.
I imagine that the billions wasted on the wall construction, have been a boon to Mexican hardware stores. (That must be trickle down economics.) We spend billions and that in turn, stimulates a wee bit of positive economic activity, i.e., increased spending on electric saws and on ladders (in Mexico). So in effect we are stimulating Mexico’s economy a little bit by our building and paying for the wall.
That is good. Mexico will likely need a bit of money to bury the asylum seekers (waiting for court hearings) who the T rump administration has relegated to waiting in tent conglomerations on the Mexican side of the border, where they may start dying off due to desperate conditions.
