President’s Donald Trump’s famed border wall, installed and effective at deterring illegal aliens from crossing into the U.S., is getting an enhancement: Black paint.
Which is supposed to help the wall heat up in the southern sun, and thereby make it harder to climb.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the announcement:
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the entire southern border wall will be painted black, so it will get hot in the sun and “make it even harder for people to climb.”
“That is specifically at the request of the president.” https://t.co/qI8d1pufoL pic.twitter.com/h5eFlLFVAp

And showed what is happening:
LMAO! Democrats are currently losing their minds over President Trump and Kristi Noem painting the southern border wall BLACK to let it get super hot from the sun.
It’s being done so the criminals would burn their hands to the touch if they even tried.
Genius move. pic.twitter.com/U0zGOuW6lm

At a news conference in Santa Teresa, N.M., she said, “Now, if you look at the structure that’s behind me, it’s tall, which makes it very, very difficult to climb, almost impossible. It also goes deep into the ground, which would make it very difficult, if not impossible, to dig under. And today, we are also going to be painting it black. That is specifically at the request of the president, who understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even warmer, and it will make it even harder for people to climb.”
Democrats and other liberals were losing their cool over the plan:
We are spending billions to paint an ineffective border wall black just to appease the President.
Imagine what the Republican Party could accomplish if it actually cared about helping people. https://t.co/oTxfsFdPPK

Other critics warned it would not be as hot at night, when the sun isn’t shining. And they also asked if there are no gloves in Mexico. And at the other end of the spectrum was the suggestion from many commenters simply to electrify the wall. Or install razor wire.
Actually, the flood of millions of illegal aliens drawn to the United States under Joe Biden’s open borders policies has been cut to only a trickle under Trump’s combined efforts to secure the border in recent months.
