When it was clear that this solution wasn't. I actually thought there would be another subplot which revealed that the politicians were actually working with the aliens and that's why the Jager program was cancelled.
Any explanation?
Show me the holes!
well, I personally like to think that the story was just trying to portray the politicians as stupid idiots who cares more about saving money than what's best for protecting humanity...I would think building the stupid walls was cheaper than maintaining the Jaeger program.
shareAnd whadya know? A couple of years after this film came out, Trump used the exact same idea. Except that he wants to keep out monstrous, city-destroying Mexicans, rather than kaiju.
shareLOL just one of the many "brilliant" ideas that proves why Trump is such an idiot...the whole world would freeze over if that Trump idiot ever becomes president.
shareI hope you realize dozens of countries have border walls. This is nothing new.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!
Erm, yes. How is that relevant? The point was that some politicians parrot simple solutions to complex problems merely so they're seen to be doing something, rather than having any positive effect.
Trump is proposing an unfeasible plan of building a wall thousands of miles long simply to grab headlines and whip up hysteria, the governments in PR spent all their resources putting an ineffective sticking plaster over a situation rather than actually dealing with it.
Some border fences/walls serve a purpose and have a practical use, neither of the above two examples do.
A border wall keeping out the illegals would pay for itself in no time.
He's going to win. He's going to build the wall. The sooner you accept this, the better it will be.
Assuming Direct Control
Doesn't bother me, I'm an ocean away. That aside, I struggle to see how it could be done. To build any meaningful wall would cost tens of billions. It's politically and economically unfeasible.
Once you've built it, what then? It's just a wall, they're not notoriously hard to bypass. Unless it's really big, or heavily guarded, all of which will add countless more billions to the cost.
No married man kisses his wife like that!
Yes, fortunately people in Mexico have no access to boats. Or ladders. Or ropes.
shareThe politicians were probably receiving lots of campaign funds and promises of large speaking fees from the construction corporations (*cough...Hillary Clinton...cough) and so they pushed for the wall.
shareThe impression I got from comments in the background, like the news broadcast after the Sydney attack, was that the wall was basically a placebo. They mention "Safe zones" inland, ostensibly places for resource production, but according to the reporter they were havens for the rich. Essentially, they're saying that the politicians and the rich had already got to safety and they didn't want to spend money on protecting the little guys any more.
shareBecause they were in what I call a Maginot Line mentality. They were so convinced that the coastal walls would be invincible. And as we all know, the Kaiju broke through the wall in about 45 minutes.
