http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/13/trump-explains-why-he-wants-to-be-able-to-see-through-his-border-wall.html

“And I’ll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them – they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over. As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs.”

I wouldn't mind, but I'd draw the line at around 7 or 8 pounds, cus well, free drugs.

That quote sounds like something from an Onion article, even by Trump standards. Also isn't this pretty much a tacit admission that people will just go over the wall? Or at least that a wall won't prevent drugs from getting into the country. I'm just wondering what the thought process is... like do people throw the drugs over and then climb to the other side? Do they have a contact to meet up with on the other side in this very specific part of the wall where no authorities are watching? Why would people who aren't expecting to get hit by drugs be hanging out right no the other side? How strong are these people that they can throw sixty fucking pounds over a big wall?

He just wants to stand on the other side making fun faces at the less fortunate. I'll be standing next to him.

Actually, if you made the wall barred instead of a solid barrier, you'd be using less material. I'm not sure how the the logistics of that design would affect the overall cost, but it would seem like you'd be paying for less material at least.

Less material sure, but now you're paying for it to be formed in a certain way.

The wall would be weak then, a stone, metal, or concrete wall please, something sturdy.

Yeah, that's why I couldn't say for sure either way. You gotta weigh the options between concrete or steel or something else entirely. Then you've got to build a barrier underground at an equal length to combat tunneling.

Either way, designing a wall to combat falling sacks of drugs is unbelievably silly to me. Like, I just can't take that quote seriously.

I'm sure that the drug smugglers are already ten steps ahead of Trump on this one. I see unmanned drug carrying drones and balloons filled with the stuff in our future.

I love the idea of making a barred wall, and then people just passing drugs through the bars.

Why you build the wall if the smugglers can dig underneath them? Or ship it to the port or any transportation for that matter?

Remember, it's also supposed to be a solar wall. So this fantastic wall has to be simultaneously opaque and translucent.

Maybe he's making a joke about how such a shiny wall would repel people who would try to get across, or perhaps he wants to joke about the wall generating solar energy to pay for its exorbitant costs and whatnot.

This is assuming people are just...hanging out next to the wall in the first place? Who the **** would be loitering there?

And even if a few people WERE loitering at the border, is that really worth the expense of a so-called transparent wall?

I fully support lesbian culture. To the point that I think any hot chick who doesn't have at least one girl on girl experience before the age of 30 - on film- should be deported.

I'm not unfiarX

Ugly things of the female gender will have 30 days to leave or be re-located to the nearest zoo.
