    As someone who lives somewhere that just got up to 120° f hot metal is no joke. We had a ton of people hospitalized a few years back because they went to open gates to their homes and weren’t expecting scolding hot metal when it was already like 11pm.

    I’m not going to hate this because it’s a idea that doesn’t work, I’m going to hate it because it’s just another method to harm people who want to come to the land of the free. On top of it border states like to charge people for leaving out water so just anything they can possibly do to be vindictive and hateful I guess.

      scolding hot metal

      I like the mental imagery — it’s not scalding hot, no, the metal is actively chastising you.

        “You KNOW better than to touch me when I’ve been in the sun all day!”

      Because if there’s anything people have learned about Mexico, it’s that they don’t have any blankets. Or anything like rope or fabric covers that can easily just be tossed on it.

      people who want to come to the land of the free.

      No, it’s the southern border of the US.

      What country do you mean? Canada? Mexico?

      Ever heard of night time?

        So you think that Canada is in the south? This is a discussion about the southern border wall.

        Yes I’ve heard of night just like I said in the quoted text people were getting severe burns and needing to be hospitalized because they were not expecting the gate to their house to be that hot at nearly midnight.

          Than what country of the free are you talking about? Have you seen the US? Nothing free about that country.

            Yes I’m sure you’ve never heard of the American national anthem that still calls the US the land of the free during all of this. I brought up hazardous heat conditions and tied that into this new policy to point out a criticism of America. I brought up the fact that the national anthem calls it the land of the free to point out hypocrisy.

            So far you haven’t done anything other than try and tell me that 11pm isn’t night for some reason and to criticize me for pointing out the words of the national anthem.

            So what exactly is your point here? What issue do you have with what I have been saying?
