    It's probably made of that kind of steel that rusts a bit and forms a protective layer. The paint won't stick and they can repeat the performance next year. It let's them show they're Doing Things.

    It was already done on Trump's first term, and flaked in a year.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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!

    It's very considerate really. Painting it black on the north side helps to keep it cool

    She is definitely not bright. They should've ask the cayotes how to get to the otherside to paint.
