No surface prep? That will flake off in no time.

They know that wall is built entirely on the US side of the actual border, right? In some areas, more than a mile of territory was effectively ceded. They can go and paint the other side too, if they want.
But how would they get back over?
Ladders? Milk crates? More seriously, in some places there are actual gates in the wall, which also allow ranchers access to their land on the other side.
Yep, here’s one in south Texas that’s about 1/4 mile from the actual border (the Rio Grande). It seems to be generally left open. The photo is from the “outside”.
What makes it even more funny is that according to the sun movement, the north side gets the least ammount of sun .
So what you're saying is they're painting it black in the hopes that the entire wall becomes too hot to touch during the day to keep people from simply scaling it?
Yes, that is the idea.
Good thing no one will ever think of gloves.
or nighttime
Or ladders
Luckily they scale the fence with ladders and carpets, never actually touching it.
Actually, this makes perfect sense. They're clearly trying to stop the Mexico filter spreading further which is also why the fence is orange before they apply it
also it's a coating, not a paint [it's a paint]
It is simple. Since they are deadly afraid of black things, they think the rest of the world is too.
First state ownership of enterprise, and now jobs programs? Maybe Trump was the socialist president all along!
She is definitely not bright. They should've ask the cayotes how to get to the otherside to paint.
It's very considerate really. Painting it black on the north side helps to keep it cool
