i like this guys style!

The brand new Xwatch laser solution, once deployed, will fly around the machine on a jobsite, creating a virtual wall that moves with the slew area as the boom extends and retracts.

If the drone picks up a human presence or an object within the slew area, a high-density laser beam will hit the target and vaporise it, therefore eliminating the object or person, removing any danger to the machine or the operator. The laser will also activate the machine’s XW integrated safety system and will stop the machine with the Xwatch proportional hydraulic control. This is fully recorded via the telematics connectivity with remote incident reporting which allows analysis post-incident. The stored data can assist with helping prevent future incidents.

Dan Leaney, Sales and Operations Director said “This is a global first in accident protection from Xwatch. We have collaborated with a leading drone manufacturer to integrate Xwatch technology into a failsafe extension for onsite drones. Having tested the software we can confirm that it’s accurate to within 1cm. Personel onsite are advised to wear their RFID tags at all times to prevent entering the danger zone of the machine and the drone’s laser.”

Personally, I think air dropping tamales and cash into the countries these poor souls are coming from is a solution.

Ok broke ass.

That's why maga is destined to fail. Nothing to offer but name calling. America is tired of it. That's why trump is going to lose and maga will fade away back into the shadows muttering obscenities under their breath hating everyone and everything because they live empty lives with hate as their only outlet. I actually feel sorry for them. They're missing out on so much life has to offer and instead focusing on denigrating others for no real reason other than they can.

I really don't care what you call me. But you should care about yourself. Unfortunately from your posts it appears you don't.

the definition could just as easily be applied to the maga right. as a whole they seem quite gullible and weak minded. do you need to see a bunch of videos of them being questioned about their beliefs at a rally?

oh, the density!
and what would that prove? would you like to see some jackass quality interviews of dem supporters?

whats best for the country right now and whats best for the world
prosperity here we come! abortions for all and free fent and weed for all the homeless/illegals
and not to be too myopic,but there is way more at stake than just orange man bad, but i cant wait to see harris on a global stage!
she will put putin in his place and bring peace to the middle east
right?!

i've never seen any info pointing to trump making money personally from the wall but when trump is involved with anything having to do with money you need to watch him like a hawk. it's simply because of his history. the history that he created himself. the history that he's now trying to rewrite.

folks protesting his conviction on 34 felony counts don't seem to want to admit that he actually committed those crimes. i guess they think that because he's running for president he should be given carte blanche on his personal crimes. the judge and prosecutor did not convict him. he was convicted by two juries composed of ordinary citizens. one a grand jury of 23 who looked at the evidence and made the decision to take him to trial. another looked at the evidence and convicted him. 35 different people from the general population.

back to the wall, when trump first proposed the idea and the maga base was queried as to what the wall should be made of and how it should be built, etc., the responses showed paranoia and fear.

the consensus was that the ideal wall should be 50 ft high, 10 feet thick, made of reinforced concrete, should go from coast to coast with no openings or gates, and be painted black. sheer paranoia!

meanwhile, all the security experts were saying that you don't want a wall at all, that you need a fence. a fence that you can see through so that you know what's happening on the other side. you notice the military using fences not walls.

i'll go along with a fence but not a wall. trump was presented with the idea of a fence but obstinately insisted upon a wall.

the wall sections that were built were a joke. you can walk up to one with a cheapass throw away harbor freight sawzall and cut a hole in it in a couple of minutes. and observers on the other side can't see a fucking thing while it's happening.

i have seen a video of a group of young entrepreneurs walking up to one of the wall sections and grabbing the alternating metal plates and going over it so fast they looked like monkeys climbing a tree.

the problems at the border are not any presidents fault. they are the fault of the US congress, who have not addressed the issue properly in a bipartisan fashion. they preferred to make an issue out of it for political fodder rather than passing legislation.

the entire situation could be remedied simply by denying all asylum requests at the border. only accepting asylum requests presented at us embassies abroad.

you would still have some trying to enter illegally but they would be much easier to apprehend and deport because the lower numbers would allow the cbp and ice to work more efficiently with the manpower they have.

i am against any illegal immigration, but for legal immigration. the exteme far right wants to make all immigration illegal. seal the borders and not let any more non-white folks into the country for any reason.

they are trying to trick the conservative voters, the middle of the road voters, into going along with it using lies such as "they are all criminals, murderers, rapists, and so on. it's about scaring good conservatives into supporting their fascist agenda.

52% of those trying to enter via the southern border are family units. just poor people seeking a better life.

here are the numbers of deportations by presidential term.

please direct me to where trump has said he wants "NO IMMIGRATION" - thanks

as to deportations, if you have more illegals crossing, u can have more deportations..

Most of the companies that received contracts were GOP donors. Look it up.

The new 55 miles of barriers in Hidalgo and Starr counties likely will get built by companies with previous experience in this type of work, and these companies range from a privately held Texas firm to publicly traded Israeli contractors, according to experts. The firms have a history of giving money mostly to Republican politicians.
thats not what u said... u said 'trump' profited.... so lets see the proof...

Semantics. He didn't personally accept money but he benefited. Donations were made to PAC's supporting him. That's how it's done. Been that way for a long time. Democrats do the same thing. Closing your eyes and refusing to look doesn't stop things from happening.

Cash, and tamales? Just say when and where and I’d build a boat to get there.

If fascists aren't going to vote for Trump because VP's wife is a legal Indian immigrant, what makes you think they want these people in the country?

Those right wing weirdos have dined with Trump and are basically the future of the republican party. You asked for proof and I gave it to you. Stephen Miller can be thrown into that conversation too. They want to end birthright citizenship and weaken the status of legal immigrants in other ways too.

I lived 100 miles from the border for years. It was a routine thing for a regular neighborhood house to have 50 people in it being forced to work to pay off their border crossing “fee”.

The GOP claims they're serious about the border but in reality it's just political posturing and an issue they can run on. If the GOP had wanted to do something serious then they could have done it when trump was President and they held both houses of Congress. trump assumed the Presidency in 2016 with Republican control of Congress. They did nothing except built 50 miles of a poorly constructed wall. Someone that thinks the GOP is serious about the border explain that?

You'll find the majority of illegals working in agriculture or meat processing plants doing work nobody else will do. Hell, even desantis in Florida stopped with his crusade against illegals as they couldn't get workers and crops were rotting in the field. Same thing happened in Alabama a decade or so ago when they enacted the strictest laws. They subsequently rolled those back when companies like Tyson couldn't get anyone to stand in blood for 12 hours and gut their damn chickens.

The fact is that without these workers the price of food would skyrocket. Americans won't do those jobs.

No it isn't. The people awarded the contracts were mostly people that have been donating to the GOP for years. You donate money you get the contract. It's a guarantee that donations were going to trump aligned PAC's. He didn't get any money directly in his bank account. I find it hard to believe that there are people that don't think there wasn't some quid pro quo going on.
i like my quid pro quo baked in secret sauce!

I stayed at a Holiday Inn in Phoenix. That's 179 mile from Nogales.
