  3. Mario Crespo average IQ in Colombia is 84 and you're proving it right now. I want my country protected from invaders. Does that make me a White nationalist? If it does, then sign me up. Fuck everyone south of the border, I only care about my own country.

  4. Mario Crespo then stay in your own country and help your own.

  5. William Keltner stfu you blackpill peddling defeatist. It can and will happen. It's just a matter of time and money and bureaucratic gymnastics.

  6. Browns Fan no, so we can make all pleb-tier Leftists from Cleveland run like the hunger games just started.

  7. mickavellian I think the wall should be an H frame with the solar panels affixed to the top to provide shade to maintenance and border patrol personnel walking on the catwalk. It would also provide a double layer of fencing and maintenance personnel could work on solar arrays from the bottom while standing on the catwalk.

  8. Anne Frank we'll use the wind powered trebuchets to launch all the illegals we're rounding up back into Mexico. 👌

  9. User2718218 again, a person with even an elementary understanding of physical security understands how easily walls can be used to monitor security and intrusion threats. Detection and location technologies are cheap, effective, and reliable.

  10. CastleArrgghhhh ok sure, we are all violent racists. How did I know your argument would devolve to that? (rhetorical question) We have the most successful multiethnic country on Earth. It's hard not to be racist when we realize that if we took away about 2-3% of our population, Black males ages 18-34, the murder rate in this country would decrease by 50-60% overnight. I've been to many cities in Canada. It's lilly White and Asian. Yet still, your streets are littered with homeless people, despite your glorious social welfare system. You have a very self righteous view of yourself and your country. The world doesn't hate Canada because you are insignificant and you hold no power. You really think Canada is not protected by the strength of the U.S. military? Canada is our vassal. We control you. Western Europe and Canada both would be nothing on the world stage without the U.S., and yet the overwhelming trend from all of these countries is to sanctimoniously sneer at us as racist violent imperialists. We can be neither aggressive or isolationist without being criticized by the rest of the Western World. It's always just the same tired propaganda you're regurgitating, and it makes you look like nothing but an insolent dog. You say you're not a Leftist, but you sure do sound like one.

  12. @ neal thailand: that's interesting. The idea was proposed by a construction firm called Gleason Partners LLC. From their website: "Our focus is on energy sustainable building systems that involve our World Class Solar Transparent PV Premium Windows and Solar PV Curtain Walls, but we are also ready to assist you with your solar racking for commercial rooftop and solar farms. We have fashionable tensioned cabling systems for your suspended glass curtain walls and our own "Solar Sail." We hope we can assist you with your strut and/or solar related construction project." These guys sound like they likely have a clue about solar electrical engineering, forgive me if I'm wrong.

  13. neal thailand I think it's kind of simple to reduce that company's design proposal to a futile attempt at profit. Obviously profit is their overarching motive, but it just seems kind of ridiculous if it is something they don't believe they can accomplish. I've researched solar energy quite a lot, actually. It's pretty fascinating what they can do now. I do appreciate your comment though. It was at least lucid and not caustic, unlike the majority of commenters here.

  14. @ neil: So, from an electrical engineering standpoint, the most difficult aspect of a massive solar array like the one proposed would be storage, correct? Much of the wall would be in very isolated and desolate locations, which is kind of like the cabin concept you mentioned. A border wall would be a massive expenditure, clearly, but I would be happy if it were built and the complex was merely self sufficient from an energy usage standpoint. To be effective, a wall structure along the border would need to produce energy somehow for maintenance tools, spotlights, detection devices, video monitoring, thermal, etc. etc. as long as it produced enough energy to not equal a net energy deficit, I would consider it acceptable. I don't need the wall to be a massive green energy producer, but it would be nice. If it can be done, why not? Either way, stopping mass illegal immigration would save the U.S. taxpayer money in many many direct and indirect ways. Court expenditure for alien criminals, prison costs, deportation costs, welfare and healthcare for illegals etc. the list goes on. Btw, I don't normally attack anyone unless they attack me first, they are a troll I'm familiar with, or they say something so utterly pseudo intellectual that I can't help myself.

  15. @ neil: It seems like an archaic practice to build walls, sure, but over 29 border walls have been planned, proposed, or built all over the world since 2000. There are 65 operating border walls in the world. Certainly all these countries have critically assessed the effectiveness and concluded they aren't an unnecessary waste of money and resources. I think the main difference between ancient and modern border walls is fairly obvious. Ancient walls were built to hinder, delay or thwart invading armies and raiding parties, as well as "mount detection devices (human surveillance)" as you said. Modern walls need only to hinder, delay or thwart the much less formidable and motivated common migrant. The exception being walls in places like Israel and the late great Berlin Wall. I also added earlier in this thread that physical barriers are used everywhere to designate boundaries and private property, not just national borders. It adds a psychological factor that implies "keep out," especially when concertina wire is used. Although it sounds simplistic, even walls that are easily defeated usually thwart human traffic to a significant degree. Apartment complexes, industrial yards, port facilities, government facilities, military bases, etc. all invest in physical barriers. I don't know how feasible a purely "detect and react" system would be, and in all actuality, we have plenty of detection and reaction capabilities that could be easily employed right now, but are not. I think solar powered drone systems could be used for detection and alerting reaction forces. This in conjunction with a physical barrier would be highly effective, in my opinion.

  16. neal thailand yeah, for sure. Most of the drug traffic actually comes straight through ports of entry smuggled in vehicles and through airports via humans swallowing balloons and via sea smuggled in fishing vessels and go-fast vessels. I used to work for DHS *wink wink. I would imagine that the construction of a "sea to sea" border wall would further isolate smuggling to these methods, instead of further encouraging drug runners to do things like trying to blow a hole through the wall. Just my professional opinion.

  17. They will be against it. Something to the tune of "you can't vindicate a symbol of hatred" or some such horseshit. Don't forget, if the Left didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

  18. I believe even the Castle Arrgghhh in Monty Python and the Holy Grail was resistant to pleb-tier attempts at overcoming its walls with a Home Depot ladder.

  19. kivie13 anyone that knows even the absolutely most elementery basics of physical security knows that walls and other physical barriers work in more ways than one. They also act as a psychological deterrent by defining the perimeter of the facility and making intrusions seem more difficult.

  20. CastleArrgghhhh literally 10 seconds with a Home Depot ladder....literally. Reeeeeeeeee..... That is your whole argument. No. You have no idea what you're talking about and have a pleb-tier understanding of physical security. Leave those concerns to those who know something about it. It's not just that it seems more difficult, it is more difficult with a physical barrier. A physical barrier would define the border and send a message. That message being "keep out." And if psychological factors are not at play here, why is illegal immigration down 40+% just because a protectionist with some anti-immigration rhetoric was elected President? You have no fucking idea how much it will cost, what the complexity that the finished product will be, or how effectively it will work. But I'll tell you this, if it is built, it's not going to be some rudimentary chain link fence that can be defeated with a simple ladder. You have made no argument. You don't understand physical security. There are numerous examples of border walls, nearly 30 built within the last two decades, that work quite well. You just don't want to admit that 1) it's a worthy investment (I wouldn't expect a Canadian to understand as illegal immigration doesn't adversely affect your country) 2) it will be effective and 3) this idea is not something Trump made up. This concept has something that has been talked about since the late 1980s.

  21. CastleArrgghhhh also keep in mind that your country is little more than our vassal state. If we fail, you fail, and so do all your retarded social projects. We subsidize you, directly and indirectly. Your country is not even that successful, and would be even more shitty if it weren't for U.S. economic and military might.

  22. CastleArrgghhhh saying "it's hard not to be racist" doesn't directly imply I'm admitting to having racist sentiments. I expected more from a product of the world class Canadian public education system. You stupid fuck. Most people here aren't racist, but when minorities are responsible for the majority of the crime and social problems in your country, it causes social alienation. You wouldn't understand because you have no frame of reference.
