Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the entire southern border wall with Mexico is being painted black to deter illegal immigration, at President Trump's request.
Or ladders, or rope, or digging, or the many other ways they have bypassed and overcome the new sections of wall already.
The whole approach is so backwards. The drug war and neocolonialism have pushed many of USA’s problems to Mexico, so many Mexicans wish to move to the US to escape those issues. Best solution: legalize and regulate drugs, treat your addicts, help Mexico to put down the cartels, and work to build a tight friendly partnership with Mexico - a very significant trade and cultural partner with a huge shared border. Win for everyone, immigration plummets. Selected solutions: built an enormous wall, lambast their leaders, threaten invasion. Republicans are still in a 7th-century Chinese solution mindset, 1400 years later. Oh - and pour $30,000,000,000 into your secret police force to find and deport any suspected South American or Mexican-heritage people, primarily without trial, seemingly hurting just as many US citizens as new immigrants - shouldn’t forget that brilliant strategy.
If the US could just stop shooting itself in the feet the wounds might heal.
It was always performative to convince idiots that something is done, and as patronage for the companiies being paid insane amounts of money to build the wall.
Bingo, it’s a Mafia boondoggle. You pay Company [exorbitant amount of money] to build an ever larger, ever more complex project so you can funnel cash to them without it looking like a gift. All Company has to do is have 4 or 5 guys be up on scaffolding “building the wall” a couple days a week to make it look like progress is being made.
Would be a lot better if we (mexicans) learned about making a better country for everyone instead of relying on the money our people send from out of the country… But that’s not what the goverment wants so whatever.
I would say give your countrymen (and especially women) some credit. Mexico has been marching steadily forward over the past decade or so. I met a lot of very competent people working very hard to better the country as a whole in my time studying there.
The roadblocks are many and the dangers can run high at times but that’s not stopping people. As it shouldn’t. Mexico is coming into her power. Just wait.
Even your remark, even if you feel a little beat down, is a testament to the times. Solid foundations aren’t built in a night. They’re hard fought and won with consistency. And what is Mexico if not resilient?
And we’ve made huge steps going backwards these last 6 years (almost 7) and the incoming 6 will be the nail in the coffin so keep your speech for someone who hasn’t seen their own people shit their own bed… Willingly.
So good Mexico hasn’t learned about gloves yet… or you know… night time. Phew. Close one.

Right now there are more people leaving the US than entering, so I think it’s more to prevent people from escaping. You know, like North Korea.
Qué es un glove? Un globo? 🤔
