I think I detected two illegal immigrants in a zebra suit in the middle of your illustration!

I knew that vertical stripes on clothing made people look taller; now they can also help get them into the USA!

I am pleased to announce that our very talented Deputy Secretary of Defense, Patrick Shanahan, will assume the title of Acting Secretary of Defense starting January 1, 2019. Patrick has a long list of accomplishments while serving as Deputy, & previously Boeing. He will be great!

Obviously took a couple of days for someone to explain that Mattis effectively told him to get ******. Comprehension is not his strong point.

Or even more low-tech methods...

https://nordic.businessinsider.com/...nd-narco-drug-catapult-on-border-wall-2017-2/
Border patrol agents in Douglas, Arizona, removed a catapult from the border fence, which was being used to hurl drugs into the US from Mexico.
...border agents in Naco arrested two teenagers who were found with a bundle of marijuana after surveillance cameras detected drugs being launched over the border by an air cannon.

Did the catapult have "Acme" written on the side? Maybe Trump was right about what kind of coyotes he was talking about...

[trump] Yep. I can remember the crowds at my yuge rallies chanting "Build That Barrier! Build that Barrier!" I can remember it as clearly as I recall seeing Mooslims dancing on 9/11, and the letter the NFL wrote me saying what a wonderful idea I had that time.[/trump]
 
This Wapo article is a highly amusing analysis of the cost of materials for Trump's "artistically designed steel slats", and the potential efficacy of this wall fence.

... a barrier with nine-inch gaps seems like it might allow for pretty easy transfer of bulky packages
...
What’s more, an nine-inch gap wouldn’t necessarily keep people out. In 2010, a prisoner in a jail in Tennessee escaped his cell by covering himself with grease and squeezing between bars set 4.5 inches apart.

There is so much that can be said as to the fundamental flaws in any Great Wall of Trump scheme, but I must ask of just one: the slats are obviously porous. Why would smugglers bother with a catapult or drones if one can simply hand most contraband, such as drugs, directly through the slats?

Whoops - already discussed upthread. Sorry.

The only way to stop drugs, gangs, human trafficking, criminal elements and much else from coming into our Country is with a Wall or Barrier. Drones and all of the rest are wonderful and lots of fun, but it is only a good old fashioned Wall that works!

Does this idiot understand that most of the drugs getting into America through the Southern border, do so through ports of entry?

"A 24-page report prepared by the DEA in May found that drugs coming from Mexico do often enter through the southwestern border, but they do so concealed in vehicles, like tractor-trailers. Moreover, drugs coming from Colombia are more often transported by plane and boat, the reports notes.

Transnational criminal organizations “generally route larger drug shipments destined for the Northeast through the Bahamas and/or South Florida by using a variety of maritime conveyance methods, to include speedboats, fishing vessels, sailboats, yachts, and containerized sea cargo,” the reports reads. “In some cases, Dominican Republic-based traffickers will also transport cocaine into Haiti for subsequent shipment to the United States via the Bahamas and/or South Florida corridor using maritime and air transport.” "​

32 foot ladders - about $300 at Home Depot.

Or, to save yourself some climbing: portable electric cutoff wheels to slice right through the ~1 inch slats- $500 to $1500 at Amazon (home to industrial strength).

Sorry, I know I could go on and on about the absurdity. Sometimes I just can't help myself.
 
The worse part is that most of the Republicans in Congress know how absurd the wall is for all these (and many more) reasons, but when pushed they dutifully get in line and mouth their enthusiastic support. They are willing to waste $7 billion of our money for this useless idiocy solely for political spin, the public consumption of their stupidest supporters, and to avoid the wraith and massage the ego of the Prez.

How dirty they must feel when they get home. Or are they well past that and completely desensitized to the degradation?
 
Trump’s replacement for Mattis is a supporter of Trump’s space force. That is funny.
 
I doubt the folks in uniform will miss the implications of switching from a Marine veteran to a Boeing executive.

I was going to say he's living inside a fantasy but we already knew that when he said Mexico would pay for the wall.

They already spend way more than five billion dollars on projects that are just as absurd.
