If I were Mexico here's what I would do about Trump's wall

I get a bunch of bulldozers and pile up a gently sloping ramp of dirt on the Mexican side of the wall. Then I'd plant trees and grass at the top and turn it into a park so that anyone who wanted to could take a leisurely stroll up to and along the top of the wall, from where they could look down on (or even piss on) Trump.

That way it would be a wall only from the U.S. side. From the Mexican side would be scenic overlook.

Ha, he would probably try to take credit for the big beautiful park Luciferous Apr 2018 #1

Great idea, but it's mostly sand and gravel around there FakeNoose Apr 2018 #2

At the very least, they couild put up staircases and a nice walkway along the top. Binkie The Clown Apr 2018 #3

Not possible. That's one reason the wall is not exactly on the border but set back from it. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #6

I heard about that. Can't believe Trump is ceding parts of America to a foreign country. Beartracks Apr 2018 #7

PBS produced a very informative documentary about the border wall Major Nikon Apr 2018 #8

It better be a big park. The Wall is purported to be 700-900 miles. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2018 #9

Maybe they could truck in some dirt from the jungle though.
