The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So Abbott gets to grand stand in stand off against the Feds and string barb wire as if that makes a difference - Lapsody

----------------

I am sure there is a lot more border reporting on local news etc down here so you may not see the effectiveness of razor wire. It has really opened my eyes. Places where thousands crossed per day with all the associated chaos are now quiet and serene. No one around, you could have a picnic. Looking across the river into Mexico, no one over there either.

"As if..."?? In short, it makes a big difference.

Razor wire is deployed in giant tangled mats down to the rivers edge and into the river itself for five or six feet. Then the mat extends up on to shore about ten feet and stops at the foot of a shipping container, lined up end to end, each container topped with more coils of razor wire. Nobody is getting through that, they don't even try.

Pretty cheap, easy to deploy, easy to repair as needed. Now if the Governors of NM and AZ would join in, we could funnel all the migrants through CA, what's not to like.
