Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the entire southern border wall with Mexico is being painted black to deter illegal immigration, at President Trump's request.
You see. As it is right now, the mexicans can’t see the fence, and so they stumble around and accidentally find themselves on the american side. If it’s black they’ll much easier identify the american border, and thus avoid crossing into that shithole of a country.
Only thing I can think of is the black paint would absorb more solar radiation and make it hotter. But the sun isn’t out at night which is when many people make that crossing, so I’m not sure they’ve really thought it through.
The same way a fence prevents someone from flying in on a currently not-yet-expired visa. The whole announcement is an exercise of putting lipstick on a pig.
maybe I’m thick… but how does black paint prevent someone from climbing a fence?

It all makes sense now.

Thoughts are long gone by the time their ideas reach their mouths
