re: The Great Wall

I really don't understand what the big deal about building the wall is.

1) Israel has one. It works. They built it pretty quickly. We'd have to make one... oh about 15 or so times longer, but we could do it.

2) India will have a very long one built to keep Bangladeshis from entering their country. A nation that employs "Sewer Divers" to muck out clogged sewers doesn't want even poorer people from Bangladesh coming in. Which boggles the mind.

Basically if you live in a shithole, stop fricking. It's the only thing proven to work. Because you aren't coming over here.

BTW, Indian border police shoot to kill when it comes to Bangladeshis crossing the border. If you do a search you'll find some stories about it.

But since no one cares about India, it never gets mentioned over here.

3) Hmmm you know China built this honking long wall once. Best tech available circa whenever they built it. We might could do better now.
