According to a Washington Post report in The Guardian there have been more than 3,000 breaches in Trump's wall. Smugglers have breached the border wall along the US-Mexico frontier more than 3,000 times according to government maintenance records. The former President promised Mexico would pay for a virtually "impenetrable" border wall. As early as 2019 there was evidence that smugglers were sawing holes in the wall which cost $1 bl with $100 power tools. Holes large enough for a car to pass through have been made in the barrier. Other sections have been damaged by monsoon rains. And now Republican politicians want to spend even more money on more wall. Forsaking Algebra 2 in our schools? Could we just set all politicians a simple math question. How tall does a ladder have to be to get over a fifteen foot wall? Or how much did each hole in the wall cost per smuggled person. Probably too complicated. Probably all just the consequences of Covid. Comforting to know you have to read about this is the foreign press.
