Turns out that the big ol’ fence on the Mexican border is being built with Chinese-made steel. Needless to say, the nativists who are big for the fence in the first place didn’t like that.

Ah, capitalism at work. American capitalism, that is: Using the lowest bidder from a communist country to deny market access to people who vote with their feet.

Well, the Chinese have had extensive experience with building long barricades to keep outsiders at bay. It did not work, but they still built it.

Would be funnier if the steel was from Mexico, I think.

But that's probably a few decades away.
