So a border doesn't have to be this complicated 🙄

You do realize it’s more complicated that a meme or a picture

@bijouxbroussard I know but I asked the question to bring up America indians versus immigrants
@Strictmichael75 I do agree with your previous statement and have often found it ironic that descendants of immigrants, who in many cases took land by force or broken treaties, refer to today’s asylum seekers as "illegal".
Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M
@bijouxbroussard Definitely agree

You are right, ar least to a certain degree. It's a political tool being used by trump to garner votes.

There is a sane way to handle it, but that wouldn't suit his, or MAGAs purpose.

@Ontheroad Wait, didn't the Mexicans pay for it??? 🤔

Not all US borders are that complicated… 🤷‍♂

@Zaphod42 Exactly! :-)

I can imagine two sets of road-menders, one Canadian the other American, arriving at the same set time and carefully drawing a line along the middle of the white line. Then one crew works up to that, the other to theirs. They let the asphalt harden and cool then each solemnly re-paints their half of the border-marker. They shake hands, share a beer or two, then withdraw back into their nations.

It is a bit ambiguous, the way the names are stencilled. If to be read by an approaching motorist, shouldn't they be painted on their own side of the white band, with the base of the letters to its side of the line?
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
@ArishMell Just based on the width of the pavement compared to the person standing on it, I had assumed it was a foot path. That would make the stenciling make more sense as well.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@Zaphod42 Ah - yes, it could be.

That is really cool! Youd have to go for a drink in the Netherlands and then hop over to Belgium for one.

Also hop between- "Netherlands, Belgium Netherlands, Belgium."

Before 9/11 there were US and Canadian town that were much like the first one in your comparison.

But then the world became a crazier place.

heart breaking people are sooo desperate to find a safe place to live.😢
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
@1490wayb and it’s very important that if they find a safe place, do not try to change it into what they left!!
1490wayb · 56-60, M
@Quimliqer very true
But by 2009 the Dutch national force was on every train looking to extract foreigners. Looking to terrorize at the border.
Open borders are safer and better for business, but war is sacred to slave driving murkans. The Dutch are like snivelling slaves of NATO.
Some countries respect borders. others let people just pass through and enter a country without consent.

You mean if the chartographers could draw a straight line.
Soph03 · 18-21, F
@SW-User the world is round so you can't draw a straight line that far
SW-User
@Soph03 but boundaries between countries and states could well be. Look at the Florida and Georgia boundary as an example.
KingofBones1 · 46-50, M
Well we know why. Tell that side of the story

I think trust is the missing word here

@HumanEarth 100% now it's just become political theatre
Repete · 61-69, M
@HumanEarth I lived just across a bridge from Canada and loved to go over there and fish off a wharf on Sundays with no problems , now it’s to much hassle.
HumanEarth · 56-60, F
I know, it has nothing to do illegals, it's all about tracking our movements
