Trump Orders Border Wall Painted Black to Make It Hotter and Harder to Climb

 
 
The southern border wall will be painted black at the President’s direction in order to enhance its ability to deter illegal crossings.
 

“It’s tall, which makes it very, very difficult to climb, almost impossible. It also goes deep into the ground, which would make it very difficult, if not impossible, to dig under. And today we are also going to be painting it black,” Sec. Noem revealed during a press conference in front of the steel barrier.

“That is specifically at the request of the President, who understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even warmer, and it will make it even harder for people to climb.”



“So we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally,” Noem continued, explaining that the paint will also protect the barrier from rusting.

If they'd build something like this, it wouldn't matter what color it was painted:

Interesting concept but I'll be surprised if it's effective. I do have an idea. Coat the wall with the same substance that is used on sticky boards. The ones that are used to catch mice, snakes, etc. Whatever they use...it's like super glue.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Wait, you mean the border wall we were promised by Trump 1.0?

It helps keep the metal from rusting, I understand. Being hotter is just a bonus.

Well in that case it might be the one time I would be okay with solar panels and storage cells….to power the heating elements for the wall :whistle:

I don't recall President (or candidate) Trump promising what the wall would look like @GtHawk --- and I was paying attention.

Border patrol personnel chose the design of the wall from a sampling of six or so --- just as the President said they would.  He wanted to make sure the border personnel had what they needed to monitor the other side of the wall and apprehend crossovers --- the essence of the job.

This was a collaborative effort and a job well done.   happy77
