Nope, not a continuous single wall
So your answer to how long a wall can be before it becomes ineffective is what, exactly? Give me a number

Not that the Maginot Line is a good example of a wall, but to be fair, it failed against the Nazis. We're not trying to keep out an army with the thing.

Like the gwoc. Built for entirely different purposes
Actually, Mexico's economy is doing pretty well. A lot of the immigration across the border is from Central America, now.
Barbarian notes that the Maginot Line was a wall:
Yep.
You didn't know? Trump's proposed wall won't be a continuous single wall, either.
Donald Trump is going to build his border wall but some parts of it might be invisible, according to the man tasked with building it.
Despite Mr Trump's repeated promises to build an actual wall, it might actually rely on surveillance technology and not actually be made using any physical structure, according to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.

You didn't know that, because when they're pitching the idea, they tell you it's going to be a continuous wall. Because they figure you're not smart enough to check and see.
How much must a box weigh before it becomes heavy?
Give me a number.

so put up a wall and let the central americans stay in mexico
We have a much higher-tech wall on the border now. How's it doing?

Pretty effective at catching illegals, if the leftist media are any indication
Not so effective as we'd like in dissuading them from making the attempt
Maybe we can get Guatamala and Belize to pay for it, um? :chuckle:
Not according to Trump, who's hyperventilating about an "infestation" of people from Latin America.

you din't bother looking at your own link, didja? :chuckle:
barbie makes post after post claiming that trump's wall will be too long to be effective
Barbie then acknowledges that shorter walls can be effective
Barbie is asked repeatedly at what point a wall becomes too long to be effective
Barbie is asked for a specific number
Barbie's response?

All the evil which is resulting from a lack of a wall huh?
You don't live in America do you?
It happens here by Americans just as much. So what's your proposal to curb that?

Guess how I know you didn't read it. You actually believed Trump when he said it was going to be continuous over the whole border? Like the Maginot Line, it would have to be a series of disconnected walls.
Notice that long walls haven't been effective. Trump cited the Great Wall of China. And China was overthrown by the Mongols and again by the Manchus after it was finished. The Maginot line failed.
You correctly pointed out that short walls work more effectively, especially for keeping people in, rather than keeping them out.
And you learned why Israel built a fence at Gaza (kinda like the U.S. uses on the border) because a wall wouldn't have worked.
Barbarian asks:

Give me a specific number.
(Sod melts down)
Yep. As you learned, walls less than a hundred miles long seem to work pretty well, if you have huge numbers of troops guarding them, with sensors, towers, and barbed wire.
As you also learned, walls hundreds of miles long have consistently failed, even when protected by troops and forts.
Which of those would be more like Trump's wall?

but I did read it silly Barbie
and the first thing I noticed was that it was written over seventeen months ago, about two weeks after trump was sworn in
Barbie said:
the article actually goes on to say:
so there will be a physical wall
:idea: hey, I wonder if that part of it will be short enough to be effective?
barbie said:

reminds me of a Canadian joke, best told in dialect:
A Newfie, an Ontarian and a Québécois were walking the beach and found a bottle. They pulled the stopper and out popped a Genie who granted them three wishes.
The Newfie thought long and hard, his brow furrowed in thought and finally said that his family had been fisherman for generations, but the fish were getting scarce. His wish was that the schools of cod be refreshed for at least ten generations so his descendants would be fisherman as well. Instantly, the seas filled with cod so thick that the Newfie could have walked from Fogo to Funk on the backs of the fish without getting his taps wet.
The Quebecker took a long drag from his cigarette and said disdainfully "Nobody in Upper Canada understands how superior Quebec is. We have better culture, better food, and should rule. I want a 50 meter wall put up to keep Quebec pure and away from the rest of the country." Instantly, a high wall appeared.
The Ontarian ponders and finally asks the genie "Quebec is now surrounded with a wall 50 meters high?" The genie replies in the affirmative. The Ontarian asks "All the way around?" The genie assures him that it is.
The Ontarian says "Fill that swimming pool with water!"
