The Department of Homeland Security announced plans to paint the entire southern border wall black. Officials said the black paint prevents rust and increases durability and longevity of the wall. Officials claimed the black surface becomes incredibly hot to the touch, which they expect will deter illegal crossers, drug mules, criminals, and cartel members from climbing. A Fox News exchange compared the wall's heat to boiling water used for mac and cheese during very hot summer months. The painting was described as carried out at the president's request to make the wall harder to climb and discourage illegal entry.
Secretary Noem was just down in El Paso visiting the border, which we've had zero crossings the last two months, and she's painting that border wall black. But it not only prevents rust, that black paint which increases durability and longevity of that wall but also it makes it incredibly hot to the touch, so no illegal alien, no drug mule, no criminal, or no cartel member is going to try and climb that border wall.
So how hot is it? Is it like when I boil water to make my kids mac and cheese hot? I think that's pretty comparable, replied McLaughlin. Especially in those very hot summer months. But like I said, it's going to be that longevity and that durability as well, so we are making sure we're using U.S. taxpayer dollars well and they are going far.
That is specifically at the request of the president who understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even warmer and it will make it even harder for people to climb, Noem told reporters. So we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally.
