A few questions about the great wall of America

[ScienceRocks]

Will we be able to see our great wall from space?
How tall will it be?
Will it be able to withstand a cruise missile strike?

Will we be able to see our great wall from space?
How tall will it be?
Will it be able to withstand a cruise missile strike?

Has anyone done a cost-benefit analysis?
If taxes won't be raised to pay for it, what services will be cut?
What color will the wall be?
Will there be towers with machine guns like the old Berlin wall?

When you had a brain scan, was it a flat line?

With high resolution photographs/video, one can see the Great Wall of China, but then one can see all sorts of man made object using such technology. With the unaided eye, however, the Great Wall doesn't show up to the unaided eye. It's likely the same will be so of Trump's wall.

Taken with a 180mm lens and a digital camera last Nov. 24, the image below was the first confirmed photo of the wall.

Without the arrows in the following zoomed in version of that photo, I would not know what in the image above is the Great Wall

If you were not stupid, you would know it takes some brain activity to write a post. Even you have some!

Apparently not. You seem to have managed it.

The Trump Wall will be decorated with shiny bells and whistles, chrome and colored glass, so yes, the space people and aliens will be able to see it when they visit earth. It is certain to become a UFO tourist attraction.

Ah, but won’t that ”beautiful” wall keep immigrant workers out? It will not. As long as U.S. employers can get away with hiring cheaper undocumented labor, they will. Trump himself knowingly employed undocumented workers in the building of Trump Tower. They flew over from Poland.

Building a wall along the Mexican border is pure theater. If the objective is to keep terrorists from invading the country in the dead of night, then a wall with Canada would make just as much sense.

One must sympathize with ranchers along the southern border plagued by drug cartels crossing their properties. But they see the actual building of a wall as a joke. In the words of one Arizona rancher (and no fan of Hillary Clinton’s): ”That is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard.”

Enterprising criminals could quickly bulldoze or dig under such a barrier. Round-the-clock surveillance by the Border Patrol might stop them, but then, you wouldn’t need the wall.

Today’s border-crossing migrants are most likely to be fleeing brutal violence and extreme poverty in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Most don’t want to sneak in at all but instead put in claims for political asylum. That’s something they can do at official entry points in cities such as Laredo and El Paso, Texas.

Trump’s target audience for assaults on free trade, U.S. factory workers, would get little out of strangling trade with Mexico. Automakers and other manufacturers now rely on supply chains whereby their U.S. factories use parts and supplies made in lower-wage countries – and vice versa. This shared manufacturing enables companies to compete in world markets while employing high-paid labor here. (That said, automation is claiming jobs everywhere.)

This hasn’t gotten much national attention, but a round of trade wars would visit misery on our farm economy. For example, the U.S. is by far the world’s biggest exporter of corn, much of it headed to Asia and Latin America. Mexico happens to be the third-biggest foreign market for U.S. dairy and meat products.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association reported that American cattle producers were losing about $400,000 in sales every day the Trans-Pacific Partnership was not enacted. Trump just killed U.S. participation in that trade agreement. (Its members would have represented about 40 percent of the world’s economy.)

”TPP and NAFTA have long been convenient punching bags,” association president Tracy Brunner complained, ”but the reality is that foreign trade has been one of the greatest success stories in the long history of the U.S. beef industry.”

An inescapable political note is that the farm belt overwhelmingly voted for the man who threatened its biggest foreign markets. You can’t blame Trump for this. He never wavered in his hostility to the big trade agreements that have benefited or could greatly benefit U.S. agriculture.

Back at the border, the wall will cost many billions while doing little to solve immigration and security problems. Rather, it will serve as a taxpayer-funded stage set for Trump whenever controversy pays a call and he needs a distraction. We’d better get used to this sort of thing.

I've never seen a pile of bullshit as high as the one you just posted. Every single claim you made is a lie.

Why is the Mexican government so proud to fight us in trying to stop people from escaping their country?

 

[miketx]

They don't want the guy with the last set of jumper cables to get out.

 

[NightFox]

Why is the Mexican government so proud to fight us in trying to stop people from escaping their country?

Because the escapee's send a shit load of money back to citizens in Mexico to the point that it qualifies as a significant sector of the Mexican economy, because the larger the population of Mexican escapees that occupy the United States the more influence the Mexican Government has on U.S. policy and finally each escapee gets moved as a liability from the Mexican Government's books to the U.S. Governments books.

With a President in favor of torture, will offenders and resisters fall victim?

 

[Correll]

That was very funny.

This is even FUNNIER.

Mexican man charged with rape had 19 deportations, removals

"A Mexican man accused of raping a 13-year-old girl on a Greyhound bus that traveled through Kansas had been deported 10 times and voluntarily removed from the U.S. another nine times since 2003, records obtained by The Associated Press show"




LOL!! Hilarious, isn't it?

 

[NightFox]

With a President in favor of torture, will offenders and resisters fall victim?

Yeah, you'll have to put up with President Trump for at least the next 4 years; on the bright side, if that torture becomes unbearable you can always relax and rejuvenate with a holiday in Gitmo.

The outpouring of indignation is impressive. The heart of America trembles.

Typical minimal brain activity; no specifics in the reply.

So far, Trump supports are behind destroying American credibility. Follows in the deep footsteps of "W"'s catastrophe. And don't go on about 'Democrats do it too!' Of course both the 'ruling' parties are guilty.
