This week the concept of a Solar Wall between the US and Mexico became a thing. A country does have a right to protect it borders but I believe, particularly if I’m paying for it, that the solution should actually work. Currently, I don’t think it will. It would take decades to complete and by then we’ll likely be up to our armpits in things like this personal human carrying drone, this one (for skydivers), or this flying Uber vehicle out of Europe that will have no issues going over walls. Granted weaponized drones (like this one shot down in Syria) likely should be concerning us more at the moment than they do but in my mind if it will be relatively easy to hop over even a tall wall in ten years why start a process that will result in a tall wall that’ll take 10 years to complete.
The I saw coverage that the President wanted to make the wall a solar wall and thought that well, that is at least a step in the right direction it just wasn’t completely thought through yet. But we got the typical partisan behavior where one side ignores the problems and the other takes the problems and blows them out of proportion.
