    As someone who lives somewhere that just got up to 120° f hot metal is no joke. We had a ton of people hospitalized a few years back because they went to open gates to their homes and weren’t expecting scolding hot metal when it was already like 11pm.

    I’m not going to hate this because it’s a idea that doesn’t work, I’m going to hate it because it’s just another method to harm people who want to come to the land of the free. On top of it border states like to charge people for leaving out water so just anything they can possibly do to be vindictive and hateful I guess.

      scolding hot metal

      I like the mental imagery — it’s not scalding hot, no, the metal is actively chastising you.

        “You KNOW better than to touch me when I’ve been in the sun all day!”

      Because if there’s anything people have learned about Mexico, it’s that they don’t have any blankets. Or anything like rope or fabric covers that can easily just be tossed on it.
