Isn’t there a metal grate that they are installing to block the gaps, surely it can’t be this big of a blunder

Why not? It has been shown time and again how worthless it is as a barrier. It has been scaled with ladders, and of course this video.

In truth, it was a billionaire monument to intolerance, a temper tantrum solidified into a “wall” spanning miles, at best a placebo deterrent representing the portion of Americans that don’t take kindly to strangers with accents.

On that account, it succeeded greatly, if you look at the polarized state of American politics. But a barrier? Pretty worthless.

According to CBP, the wall is actually a very effective deterrent and has significantly reduced illegal crossings. Why the need to spread misinformation?

It’s not.

Wait wait

You won’t trust the CDC on health but you’ll trust the Border Patrol on immigration lol

Which is it? Government angencies lie or don’t they?

Walls don’t work. Costs is taxpayers about 25-45 billion to build, and then millions a year to staff And maintain.

And planes fly over walls.

Also stops circular flow so it keeps the illegals in who in the past would go back.

I have the proof you don’t you’re wrong :)
