Mainecat Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 More Trump fail...... A Section of Trump Border Wall in Texas Cost $27 Million a Mile. It's Being Foiled by $5 Ladders Every month for the past decade, Scott Nicol, a 51-year-old artist and activist, has set out from his home in McAllen to roam the Rio Grande Valley in search of ladders used to scale the border wall in South Texas. On a cool and overcast day in early April, Nicol has centered his hunt on an eight-mile stretch of border between the towns of Hidalgo and Granjeno, where an Obama-era wall meets up with a newly constructed piece of Trump’s wall. The first stop of the day brings him to a dirt field behind a flea market in Hidalgo. A pair of green and white Border Patrol SUVs are parked atop the eighteen-foot-high concrete levee wall, next to a section of bollard-style fence with a closed gate, their noses pointed toward the Rio Grande. Within minutes, Nicol has spotted a ladder roughly halfway up the levee; it’s about a dozen feet long and has only six rungs. “It’s made of cheap, rough wood, quickly nailed together because it is only going to be used once,” Nicol says. “Unlike the wall, these ladders are functional.” https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/trump-border-wall-ladders/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez ryder Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Yeah best to just keep it wide open to drive truck loads thrugh . Guess if there was not all hands on deck dealing with the massive issues caused by Joe at the cages and overpasses and campsites there would be more guys available to patrol the fence line . But no all hands on deck at Joe's covid cages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first sentence should have red flags all over Every month for the past decade, Scott Nicol, a 51-year-old artist and activist, has set out from his home in McAllen to roam the Rio Grande Valley in search of ladders used to scale the border wall in South Texas.
