TRANSCRIPT:
Frame one: Cornered animal. (Some sort of animal is shown hissing)
Frame two: Cornered dim. (Man in a corner with arms flailing is saying the following: "50 billion is too much for a wall!" "You gave the mad mullahs 150 billion." ""Experts" say it won't work!"
Voice from offscreen says: "Homeland security says it's extremely effective." Cornered man says: "Racist! Sexist! Islamophobe! Xenophobe! Uh...Homophobe! Phobophobe!"

Phobophobe!
...and the likes of you Dick Willy have Phobo phobophobia: afraid of developing a fear of Phobias: in which case the only cure is a cricket bat between the eyes.
Perhaps it'll knock some sense into you: and improve your art too.
Homeland security says it will be extremely effective

"You gave the mad mullahs 150 billion" is also being said by the voice offscreen.
Think of the highest estimate for the border wall, then double it. That's what it will cost to build.
@ Citizen Justin
And will incur maintenance costs equal to the cost of building every seven years or so. For a wall that wouldn't stop a mole from crossing. And doesn't address that most illegal immigrants enter legally but overstay their visas.
A much bigger, much more impressive wall built in China didn't do jack to keep out the Huns and Mongols it was built specifically to keep out. In fact, they took that as a dare. Didn't stop the British and French from running roughshod over the Chinese during the Opium Wars, either, which incidentally also shoots down the idea it would stop the drug trade in a very humiliating way that should have white supremacists eating crow for all their attempts to paint it as the evil of other races. Didn't stop the Japanese, Tatars, Manchu... nobody who actually had a mind to invade was put off at all by the wall. Basically it would only stop someone whose interest in getting to the other side of the wall exists well within the realm of the legal having the inclination to turn around and go home if simply told to by anyone of authority.
I'm beginning to notice the shadows in these "comics" make little sense. Like, where the hell is the light coming from in the first panel? How is that thing (whatever it is) standing with its back to the wall, yet it has a shadow in FRONT of its feet? How does monkey-arms-Dr. Kevorkian in that second panel have a shadow on the wall AND in front of his feet?

The "build a huge wall to keep people out" strategy has been tried multiple times in human history. It has NEVER worked. Walls are simply too easy to breach.
But Trump's Great Wall isn't meant to keep people out. It's meant to be a seeable-from-space equivalent of the Confederate Statues that dot towns in the South; a huge monument to how much racist right wingers HATE anyone who isn't white.
@ Denizen
I also thought the animal looked hanged, as few animal except perhaps meerkats would stand like that otherwise.
The poor man being shouted at seems to have broken both his arms. Why else would they bend forward? The left one might be bending inwards, so that one might not be broken. But the right one is bending forwards/outwards and looks very strange. Oh, and his arms looks longer than his legs.
The only laughs I get from these, are due to the very poor drawings. I can't draw to save my life (doodling is all I'm capable of), but I refrain from subjecting innocent people to my drawings.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
