Build A Wall

Posted on 29/01/2025 by Grumpa Joe

I have spent untold hours viewing YouTube videos in the past few weeks. Among my most favorite are those showing the construction of the border wall along the Mexican border.

There is an intrinsic beauty to watching this process. It is like watching a ballet. The sound of machinery blends with an orchestra. One can visualize the dollars being spent on each foot of the barrier being installed. The real question is whether or not it will achieve the goal of protecting the United States from invasion.

Yesterday, I found a video of Mexican Coyotes climbing over the wall using a rope ladder. The key to this method was to hire an ex-ATT pole climber with special shoes who could shimmy up the steel posts to throw a hook over the top with the rope ladder attached. Once the ladder was secure, it was simple for others to climb the steps, Flip over the top plate, and shimmy down into the USA.

It took me just a few more minutes to find videos of others climbing the wall without ropes or ladders. I guess the sensors in the wall will alert the Border Patrol to the location, and they can then drive there to find the person.

No matter how one looks at this barrier system, traffic flow is slower. Compare a single individual sneaking across the border to the recent massive surge of people storming the agents.

I am certain that even the Great Wall of China, as has Hadrian’s Wall in Scotland, has been breached.

Great Wall of China

Hadrian’s Wall is a World Heritage Site in the beautiful Northumberland National Park. Popular with walkers along the Hadrian’s Wall Path and Pennine Way

Walls have been built throughout history to deter people from invading a country. As countries fail, the walls become insignificant, as will the Great Wall of the USA. Someday, travel agencies will offer trips to view this wall, just as agencies lead groups of people on the China Wall.

In the meantime, I will enjoy watching the Dance of the Builders as they progress toward completion

A well written piece of satire by Tim Fox

Caution, Hilarious!
Crisis at the Canadian Border – A Prescient Look at the Consequences of a Republican Win in November.
The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The Republican Presidential primary campaign is prompting an
exodus among left leaning citizens who fear they’ll soon be required to hunt, pray, and live according to conservative ideas about the Constitution.
Canadian border farmers say it’s not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, global warming activists, and “green” energy proponents crossing their fields at night.
“I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn,” said Southern Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota . “The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn’t have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?”
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields, but they just keep coming.
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into electric cars and drive them across the border where they are simply left to fend for themselves after the battery dies.
“A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions,” an Ontario border patrolman said. “I found one carload without a single bottle of Perrier drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though, and some kale chips.”
When liberals are caught, they’re sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and study the Constitution.
In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half- dozen young vegans in blue-hair wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the ’50s. “If they can’t identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age,” an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage, buying up all the Barbara Streisand c.d.’s, and renting all the Michael Moore movies. “I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can’t support them,” an Ottawa resident said. “How many art-history majors does one country need?”
