Fred Reed's mathematical analysis of Trump's Wall proves that Trump is insincere, proves that Trump is mathematically incompetent, and earns Fred Reed an honorary nerd card:

>Israel built a wall, it worked.
It's working for Israel, that's true. Good example.
>Hungary only built a fence, but it worked.
They had a fence on their border with Austria and it was working, but they turned off the electricity and tore it down. That was an odd decision.
>China built one, it worked.
It worked until the Manchus went through it and conquered China (look up the Qing dynasty sometime).
>Nobody can point to an example where a wall failed to control access.
What about the Maginot Line on France's eastern border? What about the Atlantic Wall on Europe's western shoreline?
