Which wall, any wall, 'the wall'

[bongsaway]

Can anyone give me an example of a wall that hasn't been breached or defeated in some way, shape or form?

Can you tell me in any article, or interview, who said the wall would ever keep out 100% of the illegals?

The highest and most generous number I've ever seen for the efficacy of a proposed border wall was a 25% deterrence rate. That's an estimate of 1 in 4 people that would be unable to cross the border. This was a conservative, anti-immigration study that focused only on high population, heavily patrolled areas where barriers are most effective. Every other study I've read that takes the entire border into account has the deterrence efficiency of a wall in the single digits.

US walls are inferior to European walls? :2razz:

From the article - ““There are now 77 major or significant Walls built around the world, with 45 countries planning or building Walls,” Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday. “Over 800 miles of Walls have been built in Europe since only 2015. They have all been recognized as close to 100% successful. Stop the crime at our Southern Border!”

Hadrian's Wall - that was just abandoned.

Hadrian's Wall - that was just abandoned.

From wikipedia:

The limites of Rome were never expected to stop tribes from migrating or armies from invading, and while a frontier protected by a palisade or stone wall would help curb cattle-raiders and the incursions of other small groups, the economic viability of constructing and keeping guarded a wall 72 miles (116 km) long along a sparsely populated border to stop small-scale raiding is dubious.

Sounds about right...

And which required garrisons of Roman legions stationed at forts along the wall to be effective.

How about 99%?

"99% of our illegal Border crossings will end, crime in our Country will go way down and we will save billions of dollars a year!"
