he Great Wall of China (traditional Chinese: 萬里長城; simplified Chinese: 万里长城; pinyin: Wànlǐ Chángchéng, literally “ten thousand li wall”) is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC,[4] with selective stretches later joined by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first emperor of China. Little of the Qin wall remains.[5] Later on, many successive dynasties built and maintained multiple stretches of border walls. The best-known sections of the wall were built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).
…and yet, they constructed the wall for centuries. Now…why would they do that if it was a failure?

What is the technology that will overcome that big, beautiful wall? Talk to me Goose.

Ladders and shovels.
Also airplanes, trucks and cars

K…and that now means you have to carry equipment. Do you think that could be observed as the wall is approached? How long do you think it would take to dig a tunnel under that wall? How tall would that ladder have to be? Could a pregnant woman carry those tools? How about an old man?
Do you think that could be observed as the border is approached?

You’re showing the absolute incompetency of the Biden Administration. All it takes is a road, border patrol agents in vehicles and drones to accompany that wall and it’s all over.

No, that was opening our borders and expecting border states and border towns to handle it all.

Why hasn’t the GOP for the past 2 years been fighting hard for a wall?

The wall buys a lot of time. If this has to be explained, move over and let me talk to that wall behind you.
I would love for you to have a conversation with the inanimate objects that surround me. Sounds amusing.

A border wall doesn’t work unless you are willing to enforce immigration laws. The current administration has no interest in doing that.
And when you don’t control the House, senate or Presidency you are in no position to fight for anything.

Wait- so the GOP gave up on the wall because Biden isn’t enforcing any border laws?

No we’re not. We’re pointing out a specific thing that Abbott is doing. And a lot of people are justifying that cruel thing.
A lot of things can all be true at once.

The wall by itself isn’t going to stop anyone. It will delay people from coming across in mass until they can be haulted and returned to Mexico. This Biden is not willing to do. In fact, he blasted border guards for riding horses, pretending the reins were whips.

When did we open our borders?

As soon as Biden took office. A check of encounters at the Southern border will demonstrate that.

So Biden opened our borders. How?

Agreed. A gigantic 3000 mile wall is ineffective.
Walls in certain parts of the border, along with border patrol…can stop the flow of some illegal immigrants. Which is what we are doing now…and have been…for decades.
Biden stopped there being walls, electric fences and border guards along the border?
