This is so dumb, most people don't even cross way out in the desert where these walls are, they cross where there are towns on both sides of the border, where there are little to no fences/walls.

This shit is just a giant waste of time and money, 100% the funds used to create this wall helped line a local politicians pockets.

So if they got in legally, what good does the wall do?

Fucking nothing. It's all a grift. Rile up the base into rabid dogs telling them the Mexicans are taking their jobs and raping their children and then the republican leaders funnel state money to their friends that own the companies doing the work, those companies donate money to the politicians campaign and make sure that they stay in office so the grift can continue.

The biggest irony is- building walls in the southern deserts requires first building new roads and supply hubs in said deserts- which makes crossing them much easier...

Not to mention you can buy 18 feet ladders very easily from nearly any hardware store for relatively cheap. These shipping containers are only 8.5 feet tall each, at a 2 stack high thats 17 tops.

Yeah, apparently even the Trump administration didn’t try to put a wall in that part of Arizona because there’s almost zero immigrant traffic there due to the remoteness of it.
