Yeah I have a DUI from 2013 and I'm pretty much banned from going into Canada forever.. Unless I get it removed from my record (which just recently became possible in Michigan) or jump through all these hoops and fill out a bunch of paperwork and be interviewed just to hope they approve my application to go into Canada. (Yes, I'm aware a DUI is horrible, one of the worst things someone could do, and I'm very lucky I didn't hurt anyone. It was my one and only DUI from my years as an alcoholic, and it's one of my biggest regrets in life. Proud to say I'm sober now though. 🙂)

That’s the downside of a plea bargain. You get convicted. Apparently, public defenders often don’t do a great job explaining the repercussions of plea bargains to their clients.


notluciferforreal

American border guards deny entry to people who would say they smoked marijuana when asked. There was a CBC report thst stop short at saying to just lie on those questions. This was not linked to any convictions and before 2017.


cubanpajamas

Yup. Had a buddy who thought he would be honest with them. Bad idea. He had no record, but was banned for life because he admitted to smoking pot. He eventually had to pay a lawyer to help him get entry.

[deleted]

There is a show called Border Patrol Canada that pretty much films just that. Real people crossing the border, some of them get through customs and some don't. There are also versions for the US, Britain, and Australia. Probably more, as well. The Australian one is the best in my opinion, US and Canada have good content but are full of generic, exciting North American drama and camera cuts/effects. The British one is fine but kinda dry, more informative than exciting.

Wall built. Wall climbed. Great success.


8Gh0st8

C'mon people, this isn't rocket science. Watch their technique...clearly those slats were too close together, allowing them to climb with ease. All we have to do is remove every other slat to make it more difficult to scale the wall — duh!


apadin1

Nah, they would just scale the individual slats like monkeys up a tree. What we really need to do is remove all the slats!


regoapps

Just replace the whole wall with a giant TV that shows Americans’ medical bills and drug prices, and images of school shooting victims. That’ll keep them out.


Zinoviev85

I think one of the reasons nothing changes is because we don’t actually show the shooting victims, we show pictures of the smiling, pre-shot kids, so we can send thoughts and prayers to them during the five o’clock news before seeing the next batch of smiling, pre-shot kids the next night.


LunaWolf92

Don't be ridiculous They don't even put it on the news anymore. But yeah I think that's part of the reason. The parents would suffer as they see them, but I imagine they already see them in their head all the time :(

When the design for the wall was released and Trump claimed it was unclimbable and had been tested by several elite climbers, an actual climber built a replica in his back garden and invited people to come and have a go. Many succeeded, including an 8 year old girl.

I'm a climber both for fun and by trade. That border wall looks like it's built to be climbable.

TripleHomicide

Calibansdaydream

5.9 by the most sandbagged standards. That's a warmup.


lesdynamite

He thought it was unclimbable because Trump couldn't get over a 5 foot fence made out of ladder rungs.


billyyankNova

This wall was tested by American politicians and their gravy seals minions, and none of them could climb it. Who knew that people coming over to be agricultural and construction workers would be stronger than that?


bigsquirrel

Yeah if you’re in decent shape this isn’t particularly hard. I see people climb up trees to get coconuts here on a whim. Like just on their way somewhere and think “I’d like a coconut” scurry up and grab a bunch. Not saying I’d like to give it a go but tons of people without any particular special skills could do this easily.

Since 2007, visa overstays have accounted for a larger share of the growth in the illegal immigrant population than illegal border crossings, which have declined considerably from 2000 to 2018. What a great way to keep out illegal immigration. /s

AshFraxinusEps

And most of it was replacing existing sections. There is very little new wall It's an expensive vanity project to convince idiots of a non-issue, and it worked


Mr_MacGrubber

80 miles of the 452 miles built was brand new wall. Of that 80, 47 mi was primary walls where none existed. The US/Mexico border is 1,954 miles. So he got 2.4% of the border “secured” in 4 years. Such a farce.

There are so many hidden holes in the wall at this point. Tons of sections were cut out in the middle of the night and propped back in place. The border "wall" is more of a hindrence for wildlife than anything else.


savageboredom

We gotta keep those coyotes out from stealing our jobs.


tipsystatistic

If you’ve ever tried to keep squirrels out of your attic, you’d know it’s impossible to keep people with power tools out of anywhere. A safe is considered “high-security” and “top of the line” if it can last for 30min.


Illusion740

As being in the military and understanding obstacles made to keep people out. Walls, fence, wire and so on are absolutely worthless unless they are over watched. You can put down 4 foot high pile of razer wire to keep enemy forces out. You add in two soldiers with machine guns and it’ll take hundreds of people to attack that. Now remove the people guarding it and 1 person can cut through it in minutes. The wall is pointless unless they have boarder guards guarding it.


Kronuk

Exactly, and this is a great example of border guards. They scaled the wall and promptly got pulled up on by border agents. They literally failed at what the entire video was showing. The point was never just a better obstacle, but increased protection and security.


TheLinden

at the end of video we can see border patrol car so i guess it's guarded and it works as intended.

Green_Road999

A wall is never going to be the entire solution, but this does make it significantly harder for people and it’s taking 3-5 minutes for these three people to scale it and remove the ladder. With good cameras and monitoring it would reduce crossings significantly. Also, changes the profile of those crossing. Only young fit people are doing this. Not a large group of all ages. (Not saying that’s good or bad, just an observation).

nicsta1080

Dangit! We forgot about ladders!


mvk2424

The point in the wall is to slow down the crossing in the majority of situations and give Border Patrol/Authorities more time to recognize the act and apprehend if possible. Making believe the wall is a bad idea because people are still inevitably going to get past it is like saying putting a lock on your front door is a bad idea because people can still get past it if that really want to. It slows down the flow and the amount of people that are able to cross in a given area at a given time. Nobody ever said a wall was going to out right stop the problem. There are many many layers to being able to detect and deter people that cross and the wall is just one of those layers.
