(17,984 posts)I've been saying this for weeks: anyone can get through a steel slat wall with a minimum of effort and monetary outlay. There are half a dozen kinds of saw that will slice through it. A plasma cutter would melt it like butter. Even oxy acetylene would get through it quickly.

(31,261 posts)The immigrants don't want to knock the wall down, they just want to cut holes to get through so that they can come here and.................................pick lettuce and strawberries and tomatoes and cucumbers and lay concrete in freaking 105 degree heat, essentially do jobs that Americans are falling over themselves to do (only the last 11 words were ).

(1,727 posts)Drop it into any conversation about the wall you might find yourself facing. Even friendly ones.
Who said it?
George S. Patton.
Republicans who recognize the name might (if possible) stop to think a bit.

Silence will ensue. Blessed silence!

(7,391 posts)Crazy and Stupid. But they believe.
Funny story few people know about MacArthur told by Eisenhower in his autobiography: Eisenhower served as MacArthur's aide for years. Early on, during the post-WWI years, MacArthur led a cavalry charge into the mass of Bonus Marchers on the National Mall. They were demonstrating peacefully to demand the combat bonus they had been promised, never paid, and Eisenhower said he watched in horror as MacArthur rode into a packed encampment and started slashing men with his word, hacking bits and parts and ears off men who had been in the trenches. Decorated American combat vets. Hacked. For demonstrating.
That's their guy, not Patton. Patton was crazy and smart, and BOY WAS HE RIGHT ABOUT THE RUSSIANS OMFG. Let's face that fact once and for all. A man ahead of his time.

(53,410 posts)Its a fitting monument to Trump and his wall. Someone should take the pieces that were cut out and weld them into the word Trump and put it above that portion of his wall. Turn it into a tourist attraction. Or a temple for Trump worshipers to visit.

(33,254 posts)That's a ridiculously easy fence to get through. It's only slightly more trouble than going through a chain link fence.
What a stupid, destructive waste.
