THERE'S DUMB AND THEN THERE'S...

I don't know why we allowed Trump a year in office. We knew he was an idiot during the campaign. If for nothing else than the insane idea of having a 20 foot wall across the Southern United States. This is lunacy. Forgetting the cost, which is in billions, think about the complications. The rivers, the private properties, the destruction of so many spectacular vistas,  the endless legal battles from disgruntled land holders, the countrywide eyesore itself. And how effective would it be? An illegal Mexican with a 20-foot ladder can easily climb to the top and lower himself down with a grappling hook and rope. If the nearest guard is twenty miles away, he has plenty of time to escape. That's just one of many ways to defeat this dopey wall. A criminal with a helicopter could make a tidy profit with a shuttle. There wouldn't be enough guards to monitor a wall that wide, even electronically. So it's a fools errand. The main fool being Donald Trump, leading a legion of other losers consumed with bigotry and the fear that some undocumented man or woman would steal their penny-ante job if they had one.
