I've been saying this for awhile now. There are a dozen ways to quickly cut through steel. Demolition saw, plasma cutter, sawzall with a steel blade, cut off wheel, even a good old hacksaw will make it through. Give me two helpers and $2,000. I will have a hole big enough within half an hour. By the time border patrol finds it, thousands will have made it through.

(17,984 posts)And here I was going to sit around for ten minutes with a plasma cutter when all I needed was some det cord.
Now some people are going to say that Mexicans don't have these devices. The deplorables view Mexico as some third world country. Not so! They have access to everything mentioned. They have people who know how to use the devices. They have the incentive. Before 100 miles of the idiot's wall can be built, there will be at least three holes in it.

(51,308 posts)My parents grew up during WW2 in England. They lived through the Blitz.
And they joked. Throughout it all.
Both lived to ripe old ages. I miss them so much, and wish they were here to joke about this pox on our country now.
I think there must be a place around here to hitch high horses lol.

(21,552 posts)The point being to demonstrate what an absurd waste of time and money the wall is. The only eyes that see it as effective are the racist and stupid ones of his followers.

More likely we'll see more smgglers packing people into trunks of cars or backs of large trucks in efforts to drive across the border.
Or some will come by boat, or by plane and simply overstay visas.
