DHS Secretary says entire southern border wall to be painted black to stop

[rto]

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday that the entire border wall along the southern border with Mexico is going to be painted black to make it hotter and deter illegal immigration — and she credited President Trump with the idea.

Noem spoke during a visit to a portion of the wall in New Mexico, where she also picked up a roller brush to help out with the painting.

She touted the height of the wall as well as the depth as ways to deter people seeking to go over or under the walls. And then Noem said Homeland Security was going to be trying black paint to make the metal hotter.

“That is specifically at the request of the president, who understands that in the hot temperatures down here . . . .

I don't believe that this is a good idea and it is a waste of money. IF anyone were going to attempt to scale the wall they aren't going to do so during the day if at all.

If that's just red oxide primer on the wall a finish coat can only help it and black is cheap in the paint world. That sucker will get hot as fire in the sun and damn hard to see at night. What do you bet it will be painted using 95% Latino labor.

I'd make it a different type of hot....like a 1,000 Volts, 100 Amps hot. Ever seen one of those electric insect zappers?

Hmmmm...
Yes, paint it black and leave plenty of room, along the top, for the installation of meathooks. I watched "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," on TV last night for the first time ever. Hanging on meathooks seems like a good ending for those 8000, Joe Biden, autopen pardon signature recipients and for the perps who ran the scam.

Killing anyone on the other side & leaving the bodies to rot seems like another deterrent.

Leave it bare steel and spray it down with waste oil and grease. I know how hot steel gets out there, having grabbed more than my fair share in the course of a day's work. It won't rust the way it rusts up North.
