Can you guess the country?
AT-
Would it surprise you to learn that another country built a 1,700-mile wall to keep illegal aliens out? Would you be surprised to learn that we are not talking about the Great Wall of China, but something built recently, in the 1980s, by a small, impoverished country with only a fraction of the resources of the United States?
If you know the country I’m talking about, give yourself a gold star.
The country I’m talking about is Morocco! In the 1980s, Morocco made a land grab in the sparsely populated territory to the south called the Western Sahara. It has a problem with illegals infiltrating, and so Morocco built a 1,700-mile wall to keep them out. And it took only five or six years to build!

Congress is the main stumbling block in accomplishing the will of the people as expressed by President Trump.
Take the funding which typically goes to the subversive and inept UN, then Build the Wall.
wow! They don’t have EPA though. lol
The cost of building the US/Mexico wall is such an inconsequential amount. In fact, our new UN savings alone should cover it.
In my opinion, Trump has the “repeal Obamacare” promise thingy adequately covered (for now) with the repeal of “the mandate,”
SO: the *BIG* thing to check off the list IS “The Wall.”
Admittedly, part of it is symbolic, but the reality of getting it funded (hellooo, Congress!) and construction underway in the next 3 years is in my opinion a key to his re-election.
Yes, there’s the whole “Clean The Swamp” and “Lock Her Up,” which may well happen (prayers for 2018 miracles!) but, even though the “it’s about time their b*stards play by the same rules as the rest of us” relief is powerful, my gut tells me that won’t resonate as much with American voters as The Wall.
p.s. The photo used on the cover page is the WORST design!
Weakest and lightest points at the bottom, strongest and heaviest at the top. Requires CONSTANT on-site surveillance for the see-through aspect to be of benefit to US. A break in ONE “bar” allows people to pass through. WTF were the designers thinking?!?
They have razor wire – can’t they make other types of razor-fence components?
Their fence has one thing ours won’t have: an uninterrupted 1,700 mile long minefield. If we could do that, the only illegal crossing the border would be left in pieces.
Build two fences eighty feet apart
Stock the space between with monitor lizards, blue faced mandrills and hyenas.
Call it a nature preserve.
How sustainable of us.
If Congress is a stumbling block. build the fence by executive order. cut all those goofy old fools out of the process;
Can we build a wall around Congress?
Morocco must not have any Democrats.
@Left Coast Dan: Right you are. Cost per year to participate in the UN: $50B. Cost to build the wall: $70B.
This is why we need to build it – like Yesterday, don’t float the Donkey just push it’s head under !
