Simply bc Trump thinks it'll make the fences too hot to climb. This was attempted and failed in Trump's first term. The paint peeled after a year.

[–] SleepyBear@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Im really interested to see what kind of manual labor workers they get to paint the wall....like you know the US Federal government is gonna go with the cheapest bids, which will most likely be immigrants potentially of illegal status.
