‘Walls don’t work’ update: 8-foot non-scalable fence around U.S. Capitol replaced by 12-footer

The fence that was put up around the U.S. Capitol (that is expected to remain in place until at least next month) was replaced with an even higher fence this week:

For those who spent the entirety of the Trump presidency hearing “walls don’t work” it was interesting to find out that apparently they do work:

Let me get this straight: a physical barrier to keep out the people we don’t want in?

Interesting concept.

Amazing how fast walls can be built to protect the elites. https://t.co/UWC4AKGw8F

It’s no different than guns — they don’t make you safer, but they sure seem to do the trick to protect the “important” people.
