Yes, Noem actually said it was to protect the metal, but those with TDS ignore that.

just sitting on red iron out in the sun gets hot enough I keep a 3rd bolt bag on my belt empty to sit on. black would be hotter.

Yep it would cool down at night and precautions like gloves or simply wrapping hands in shirts. Those also can increase fall risk, and limit most likely times people will try to cross.

It's going to be painted so blacks ability to add more to the fences ability to inconvenience illegals is a benefit.

Once again Trump accomplishes his goal, shut the border down.

That is the way of the left. Too blind from TDS to see the facts. They were too busy selling unused border wall parts for pennies on the dollar - and now they are worried about painting the border fence to protect it from the elements. The left would hope it rusts down.

The illegals are going to cost New York City 5 BILLION dollars this year alone and the Dems cried a river of tears when Trump originally wanted $4 billion to build the wall. New York City is estimated to have spent $12 billion on illegals by the end of this year.

And when I say New York City - I mean the citizens of New York will be paying for it. And then add in all the other blue states and blue cities. It is estimated that $451 billion dollars have been spent on illegals since 2021. That is you and me spending that money. The migrant crisis fostered by the last administration is the gift that keeps on giving as the current population of illegals family’s grow in size over the next years.

What the last administration did concerning the illegal alien crisis is indefensible. They need to quit trying to defend their actions because every time they try, they appear even more clueless. “Who is going to pick our crops?” The Dems had two years under Biden when they controlled the house and senate - maybe they should have overhauled the Visa programs if they were so worried about who was going to pick our crops.

No, we didnt need new laws, we just needed a new president turned out to be 100% fact

So you do recognize that hot metal cools down at night (when 96 percent of illegal crossings happen)? Ok... so we can agree that it was a ridiculous statement ... right? Lolol I can only imagine the posts on here if a democrat had said something so ignorant, as would be fitting. Stop defending or attacking things based on whether the idea came from a donkey or elephant. Use common sense. You'll look much smarter. (Not directed at you PF)

Black is a popular choice for graffiti walls as it provides a strong contrast that makes other colors pop, creating a bold and dynamic look. It can also give a classic and edgy feel to the artwork.

How many more years will it take to finish putting the wall up anyway. The reapers may overtake the sowers, lol.

As opposed to the guys INVITING 10,000 illegals a day to cross and denying their existence...

Maybe stop funding endless wars that creates a domino effect of displaced peaple.
That might be a start any way.

Agreed

5d chess, The wall needs to be painted to preserve the metal, choosing a color should be basically cost free, why not black, anyone who has worked outside in their life time knows about black surfaces. Now those of you that think"it wont work at night", well you are right, but that does not take away from its daytime effectiveness.
With all the winning Trump is doing, I guess even the "smartest " of the liberals have to reach for something to dip their pacifiers in.

Temps in the south-west running easily over 100 thru the day and down to around 90 at the coolest at night lately.
Steel filled with concrete isn't cooling very much.

It is humorous watching the two or three inflicted with TDS hunting for things to whine about, lol

Gives the people who don't watch tv a glimpse of the absurdity that abounds.

Unless that wall is made of corten, stainless, galvanized or some other such anticorrosion material it's going to need some sort of protective coating, even in the dry desert.

Why not make it black?

But y'all go on with your TDS looking for reasons to be a little beatch.

"To protect"
" black typically gets hotter"

Who can argue those facts? Ohh, wait

Lol

Sad situation surprising how many are worried the loss of cheap labor is going to impact their lives if anybody sees strawberries at 1/3 price because they were picked by illegals let me know

Good ones Leftlane !! On a Roll.
