Maybe a Curtain?

Trump’s border wall wisdom…

Trump: “You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can’t see through that wall—so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what’s on the other side of the wall.”

Beware the 60-pound sack of drugs flying over the wall…

 Trump: “As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them—they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over, as crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs.”

Two years into the future…

A young couple, Biff and Buffy Boffo, are strolling along the Tex-Mex border wall with their dog, Bimbo. They’re admiring President Trump’s signature achievement; a 40-foot high, transparent, solar panel border wall extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean.

Biff: “It’s sure beautiful, isn’t it, honey?”

Buffy: “It really is, and I like the addition of the tanning beds. It’s given me a chance to really work on my tan without having to go to the beach.”

Biff: “Well, don’t get too tanned, sweetie. The Border Patrol might mistake you for a Mexican and deport you.”

Buffy: “Oh, no way Jose!”

Biff: “Babe, don’t let them know you speak Spanish so well.”

Meanwhile, about a mile down the line on the other side, two drug dealers, Pavo and Pato, are desperately trying to throw 60-pound sacks of drugs over the wall.

Pato: “Shit man! There’s no way I can throw this 60-pound sack of drugs over that pinche wall.”

Pavo: “Plus, the wall is transparent and the gringos on the other side can see what we’re doing Fucking-A man! That cabron Trump really has made America great again. I give up. Maybe I can get a job on the other side running a tanning bed operation.”

Pato: “Wait a minute pendejo, maybe if we only put 30-pounds of drugs in the sacks, we could get them over the wall/”

The Boffo’s approach closer. Buffy picks up a stick and tosses it out ahead of her.

Buffy: “Go fetch, Bimbo. Fetch! That’s a god boy”

Bimbo races towards the stick and just as he is about to pick it up between his teeth, a 30-pound sack of drugs comes flying over the wall and crashes down on poor Bimbo’s head, knocking him unconscious.

Biff and Buffy in horror and unison: “BIMBO! Oh my God, NO-O-O-O-O!”

Well, maybe a Steel Wall with see-through holes is not the best design. Maybe something more flexible, user-friendly, more decorative. Maybe a curtain? Maybe an Iron Curtain?

Footnote: No animals were injured during the writing of this blog. Buffy, however, did suffer a severe sunburn when she fell asleep on one the border wall tanning beds. ICE agents did mistake her for a Mexican and Buffy was deported. She is currently dating Pavo. Pato is taking classes at a vo-tech to become a tanning bed operator.
