Trump’s boondoggle wall breached 3,000+ times!

Again, has nothing to do with whether that stupid wall is worthwhile.
There is ZERO debate among the people who work in border security as to whether or not the walls and barriers are effective: they work.

Now, if mr potty pants thinks there is a better way, let's hear it.

Personally, I believe we should authorize all border patrol and citizens alike to lock and load and fire away at anyone crossing at a non-designated facility. Let the coyotes and desert lions have a free meal. This would certainly discourage the flow, and provide a much needed benefit to the wildlife. Unfortunately, certain political bodies may throw a tantrum and say something about 'human rights'.

The wall, with the enhanced fiber optic network for virtual security, works best.
 

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

A new report says Trump's wall was breached thousands of times with "inexpensive power tools."

Former President Donald Trump promised his supporters an “impenetrable” border wallbetween 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Unpublished data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection obtained via the Freedom of Information Act showed that Mexican smugglers cut through the wall 3,272 times over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.


So funny! So predictable! What do you think?
Putting up machine gun turrets across the line would deter violations.
 
Well if Biden can build a bigger and better one, go right on ahead and show us how it’s done.

Otherwise what is the point of this thread?


More TDS Fueled© hate.

Meanwhile, Biden has fucked up so many things in less than 14 months his ratings are in the bidet.

The wall is there to slow the migrants down

but it needs constant surveillance to be effective

and then we have to deport the migrants the same day they get here
 
From the OP:

The incidents cited by the Post referred to cases where the wall had been cut. But it was also breached in other ways. One report last year found some smugglers were building effective ladders with about $5 worth of material. In another famous case from 2020, a stiff wind knocked over a segment.

Trump repeatedly promised to build a “big beautiful wall” across the southern border that Mexico would pay for.

Mexico did not pay for it. U.S. taxpayers did.
It makes me laugh when all his gorillas fell for it.

A flood thing washed some of it away. Well done mogadon.
 
Building that dumb ineffective wall and doing nothing are not the only possibilities.
You're dumb and ineffective. Walls work! But they are only the foundation of effective border infrastructure.
 
You would think that if they were getting away with cutting through the wall with cheap tools thousands of times there would some internet videos of them doing it.

Border fencing was first built by Bush 1 starting around 1990 in San Diego. The most border fencing has been built during Democrat administrations.

We were talking about this when the wall started going up.

The wall is a simplistic band-aid for a much larger problem. That's how America rolls now. That's the best we can do.

$11 billion spent on a wall that can easily be penetrated by cheap power tools found in any hardware store. Over 3,000 times so far, since 2019. Totaling over $2.6 million in repairs, and counting. What a waste of taxpayer money. Has the check from Mexico cleared yet?


NACO, Ariz. — Mexican smuggling gangs have sawed through new segments of the border wall 3,272 times over the past three years, according to unpublished US Customs and Border Protection maintenance records obtained by The Washington Post under the Freedom of Information Act.

The government spent $2.6 million to repair the breaches during the 2019 to 2021 fiscal years, the CBP records show. While the agency has acknowledged that smugglers are able to hack through the new barriers built by the Trump administration, the maintenance records show damage has been more widespread than previously known, pointing to the structure’s limitations as an impediment to illegal crossings.

Trump promised Mexico would pay for the structure, but his administration spent roughly $11 billion in taxpayer funds, most of which he diverted from Defense Department accounts. At rallies, Trump likened his wall to a “Rolls-Royce,” but he stopped claiming the barrier was “impenetrable” in 2019 after the Post reported smugglers had learned to saw through it with conventional power tools.
It's Biden's wall.
 
We would actually need to know what kind of wall was breached and what sections breached were already there before Trump took office. Because there were a lot of walls/barriers already there and Trump never did get to finish his building/rebuilding as Congress authorized only a portion of what is needed, and Trump had to [legally] get funds from other places.

See, that would be real reporting, not 'wall breached thus we should have no walls', which is what the OP basically says.

But no, we get "Trump's wall" crap from people who want open borders and then grant amnesty to the people they waved across.

And you know the article cited in the OP is a joke when they mention a few panels were blown over, panels that had not been permanently bolted down and were only temporarily mounted and then in extreme wind conditions.

So sad, yet so predictable.

They also IGNORE that Congress passed the Border bill in 2006 mandating a border wall which I posted a bunch of times to see leftists ignore it because of their idiotic partisanship.
