You guys do realize what Trump is doing, right? He’s ok with metal posts for his border walls and everyone is crying that he’s pussed out.
The steel posts are the beginning. They can be used as concrete rebar for future expansion. This is the initial stage for a giant concrete mother fucker
Yeah lets make a barrier that is relatively inexpensive and then quadruple the cost by having to manually form work the outside and manually pour concrete upright along it's entire length instead of prefabbing it in sections to begin with, absolute retard
Dylan Wright
It's more about buying the steel from US steel plants, it's a pretty big deal.

Checked and totally agree. I don't give a fuck how it looks or what it's made of if it keeps the brown out.
Nolan Brown
It was long said it will be a see-through wall. Me thinks Trump knew the craps will see a concrete wall as an ultimate insult (including to the environment) and made it look as he conceded.
Nathaniel Brooks
Cool story bro, but can someone confirm the possibility (and maybe expand on the cost) for this?
Angel Evans
YOu're lucky mexicunts are too stupid to understannd physics otherwise they'd just climb it with MAGNETS
Kevin Cooper
Bush was a heroin kingpin. Obama was a bush crony
Kevin Wright
Who gives a fuck... fence or wall we don’t give two shits about semantics. WE WANT A BARRIER He can implement however.
If it was concrete >they’ll just bring jackhammers and demolish the wall
Jacob Green
Real talk Should I invest in stocks related to steel production? I can see this border wall sucking up a sizeable amount of the global demand.
Camden Hill
an what happen when it get hit with nerve gas and the metal melt
Ayden Clark
They reinforce the concrete with rebar though. Hard to jackhammer through rebar if not impossible. be easier to just weld rungs on the fence and use it as a permanent ladder until noticed.
Wyatt Wilson

Steel beams? Psh, all you need is jet fuel and a match. U.S. btfo.
Xavier Williams
Let them explain how with 2 years everyone but trump failed. Its impossible that with everyone against you, could be wrong After all Globalism is good they say
Kayden Mitchell
Do you not expect those spics to take a sledgehammer to whatever wall is there?
It needs to be modular and easy to replace.
You smash 10 bricks at the base of that wall and you've destroyed probably 50 cubic yards of fence.
You smash a hammer into a steel slat and it'll just reverberate.
Josiah Richardson
your suppose to shoot them dead from the top of the wall
Carter Fisher
a spic can come with a touch and cut a pole even if he makes it or not hes still has damaged the steel pole would they not need to dig up the pole and replace it?
Zachary Ward
Then it's cheap as hell to replace. Consider it a modular barrier, you don't have to replace entire sections but instead 1 bar.
Asher Thomas
Killer drones will protect the wall you dumb leaf.
Hunter Torres
It's a vertical slat, you don't think we'll have made extras? I mean yeah, it'll take several hours to replace, but we're talking weeks if it was a stone/brick masonry typed deal.
Bricklayers I'm pretty sure are in demand.
Isaiah Butler
What in the seven names of fuck does that mean?
Cooper Williams
is this really how boomer rationalize things? cope harder trump is a zionist cuck
Camden Adams
Your lack of imagination is the same reason why you can't meme.
no they can't You have no idea when it comes to concrete, your homes are made out of tree bark and pine resin
Aaron Thomas
I would take some bailing twine on a stick at this point. Literally our choice in American politics is: A. Donald Trump B. Brown people are saints and only white people should pay taxes, fuck having borders and shit, mane.

Sebastian Cooper
OK. What the fuck does it mean? Or is it just the actual word “cope”?
Benjamin Jones
You're a kike shill. Even a layman can see Trump is fucking Israel or they wouldn't be kvetching like hell at him.
Aaron Reyes
But if he puts the concrete on them then Mike Penance can't electrify the fence.....
Nicholas Rodriguez
>israel >kvetching at trump imagine believing this
10 years ago the democrats were all about a wall and KNEW we had a BIG problem on the southern border.
We're going backwards, they're literally just casually taking control of a democratic society by doing a passive invasion. At this point if Latinos turned out the same way blacks did for obama, like say if the Dems run a mexican woman, we'll have very little hope of ever getting anyone but a socialist into the presidency, maybe ever.
Hunter Lewis
Poles are easy to climb. Ad you cant have people walking the tops ready to shoot down without the glorious fucking roadway on top
Mason Nguyen
nigger it's not sheet steel. A spic would have better luck cutting through an I-Beam
Ayden Anderson
You cant kill mexicans on mexican soil without it being an act of aggression towards mexico. What the fuck is a killer drone by the way?
Nolan Davis
Metal posts are better. Once the wall is up, it's up and they can get it up before Trumps 2nd term is over. A concrete wall would take probably 10+ years.
Anthony James
when some autist post's cope, they're saying "you are making up excuses, you cognitively dissonant faggot".
Adam Butler
Put explosives inside the steel
Elijah Nelson
Who fucking cares? Fence, wall, barrier... Just make it tougher to cross.
Ryder Hughes
Got it. No acronym, no new word, just the word cope being used normally. Thanks.
Aiden Edwards

Isaiah Gonzalez
>what if they just bring over a portable welder and weld rungs onto the fence and just climb over like a ladder? deploy drones
Ian Flores
yeah, he made his fortune through real estate. Even libs should agree that he knows his shit about construction .
Lincoln Wright
Not just Israel but their entire array of mainstream news networks and even AIPAC. Why did DJT clap Rand Paul on the back on twitter for stopping the $38 billion aid package? Why did he build the Jerusalem embassy so cheaply, when usually anything involving Israel is "spare no expense". You're pushing a strawman and I've got a flamethrower, kiddo.
A wall is gay. We should have a fucking army on the southern border with orders to treat these roaches like enemy combatants. A wall is for fucking faggots, only someone with the mind of a child would think it’s a good idea.
People have walls for houses, but without fucking guns a burglar would do what ever the fuck he wants. Fuck the wall.
Sebastian Collins
Honest non meme answer
These walls are rated against such devices. The test was something like, "with portable equipment, they cant make more than a 1 foot hole in 10 minutes."
The same goes with the steel, I'm guess it probably would take a while to blow torch through it, and the border has not only constant patrols but also electronic sensors that can detect tunneling and various noises/activities, so the time it would take to cut a whole in the fence, a border patrol agent(s) can be dispatched and on scene. Dont forget that have 4 wheelers, trucks, and helis
As for your ring idea, you would need a very strong welder. That steel is designed to be hard to weld too, and it's probably hard as fuck to begin with. Maybe you could get away with a mig welder, but he would you transport and power such a thing? With a generator? Again makes a lot of noise and you would get fucked by border patrol before you could weld the studs and get over
They should just used rammed earth and make it a massive wall like 40 feet wide and 60 feet tall and then dig an ajacent ditch alongside it where they dig out the dirt for the wall. Top it with some turrets and forts for customs and border patrol and it would be golden. Cheap, strong and effective. And it would become a wonder of the world.
You’re right, it looks like if they weld steel rungs onto the wall, they’ll surely be able to get over it. Let’s say they did do something like that where they could get over it... it would be one at a time and border patrol would shut that shit down real quick
Giant crossbows fired from the mountains could wreck that fortress. Flaming arrows also.
Asher Harris
>then versus NOW Nice non-argument. Are you saying Trump "turned" on AIPAC and Israel? He was never on their side, way to swallow the bait, hook, line and sinker.
Jackson Powell
No one gives a shit except that it keeps spics out.
Dylan Gray
>it was just 4d connect 4 im sure man
Blake Thomas
It must look 4d to your poor inept brain, to the rest of us it's simple planning and execution. This isn't even accounting for the many intelligence agency's parts in it all.
>your just to stupid to understand emperor blumpfs mind games kek this is solid bait
Landon Cooper
Is it really so hard for you to follow? There are numerous threads on Jow Forums daily that spell it out in far greater detail than I have here. I imagine you use the same lines in those threads too, considering your replies have amounted to nothing more than glorified "nuh uh's". At least try to explain your reasoning as to why you think such things aren't a possibility.
Inflate the price 10x by using overpriced slats instead of inexpensive rebar that is actually designed to add strength to concrete. Untested construction technique fails as rusty slats cause weak points internally. Wall is demolished within 10 years.
Colton Phillips
>There are numerous threads on Jow Forums daily that spell it out in far greater detail than I have here. you mean /ptg/?
Noah Watson
Literally random threads, dude. They just masturbate to anime girls all day ffs.

what the fuck is this reebar work?
now i know why amerifats are so afraid of earthquakes, one tiny shake and everything goes to shit
Corrosionof reinforcingsteeland other embeddedmetalsis the leading cause of deterioration inconcrete. You gonna polish all those slats after they have been exposed to the elements for a year, or 2, or 10?
Samuel Morgan
They're against Trump being able to deliver anything resembling a wall on the border to his voters as promised. That's all it is. He's even stated that there was going to be a secondary wall in addition to this one with a zone in the center to monitor.
Asher Gomez
>Just cart a 40lb oxy-acetylene torch through hundreds of miles of desert and spend 50 minutes welding bro
It's truly incredible how few people who give their opinions on this matter have even the slightest fucking clue of how the real world works.
A fence lined with sensors is an infinitely better solution than a concrete wall.
Brandon Bennett
That is some retarded piss poor reainforcement.
Adrian Cooper
Proof the left cant meme
Hudson Morgan
The Forth Bridge is iron. It gets repainted in a continuous cycle. Its fine. Surely in a dry desert area that won't be much of a problem? Just pull out the ones you want?
>Honest non meme answer So where is it? Why would using a MIG welder make it easier? lmao Portable stick welders have gensets to power them and you can buy rods for welding pretty much any type of alloy. Looking at what has been placed down already its just fucking structural steel which any cunt can weld. It wouldn't take long for a ute to roll up and quickly weld a few bars onto it but it would take even less time for someone with an oxy/ace set to blow a hole through it.
Concrete pre fab sections are the only way to go.
Levi Brooks
can trump shills answer why israel is allowed to build an actual wall but the US isnt?
Jordan Anderson
>trump shills Trump didn't build their wall. Obama and Bush did.
Parker Scott
but why cant we build an actual wall? and why are you shills cucking? do you have reading comprehension?
David Stewart
That is missing the point of this thread.
If they plan to "upgrade" the slats to a wall of concrete later on the slats can not be corroded at the time of pouring. The steel must bond to the concrete or else the steel is useless for adding strength like rebar does. Also once corrosion has started internally it's only a matter of time before the concrete fails so it's important not to start the job with corroded steel. Lastly smooth slats are untested and not ideal vs rebar which is designed for this exact use. This is some armchair engineers justification for the fence not being a wall.
