Trump: Border wall will be 35-45 feet tall

We need to be realists. You really dont think that a wall would do along the Rio Grande do you? Although not impossible, they would have to consider floods a all that, which weakens the foundations. Half that river is ours and there is no way possible to put the wall in the middle of that river.

Then comes the canyons and such.

Don't go all Spock on us! Getting all Logical and all!

Things are now greatly improved in the working relationship between the Tohono O’odham reservation and the U.S. Border Patrol.

Whether there would ever be a 35-40 foot wall across 75 miles of sovereign tribal land is an unknown at this point in time.

The electric fence?

I was thinking poison spikes but electric fence probably makes more sense.

[Elderberry]

To make a prefab concrete sheet about 35’ x 24’ at around 2’ thick would cost around 8k a sheet

Take a hell of a truck to haul that sucker.

[Ray76]

An electric fence with poisoned razor wire is fine, I’m not picky.

And Sally ports, don’t forget them.
And boiling oil.

[Red Steel]

Definitely cheaper. ;-)

It’s not like we don’t have trucks like that.
If it’s a national priority we can build anything.

[Leep]

Surprise me!

[Political Junkie Too]

For 840 miles of wall?

You're dreaming.

Weight of 24' x 35' x 2' Precast Concrete ~245,000lbs.

Max weight on Texas Roads(including truck) - 80,000 lbs.

[Red Steel]

LoL zot jamese777. Plenty of ways to get around that.

[SgtHooper]

Line/attract the place with Africanized bees hives.

[tet68]

Not dreaming, not accepting failure.
There is a way, if there is the will.
Improvise, adapt, overcome.

If Israel can do it, so can we.

[Red Steel]

They could make those large prefab concrete barrier walls right there on the border. No need for driving them too far.

[Lower Deck]

A lot of that desert land is next to worthless. This is what 5th amendment eminent domain was meant to address.

That was before you wanted to build a wall on it. Now you would be surprised at how much the value has increased.

....Weight of 24' x 35' x 2' Precast Concrete ~245,000lbs....

Where on earth did you come up with such a bizarre number?

A monolithic concrete slab that's 24 feet by 35 feet by two feet!

You clearly know jack about heavy construction or pre-cast concrete.

Step back from the board and do some quick image searches on precast concrete tee and double tee decks used all across the country...probably even in your area.

Americans have this stuff down pat.

[tet68]

We build stuff like this all the time.
Sure, it’s a big undertaking but that doesn’t
stop Americans.

He also needs to restrict voting rights for this bunch. No voting for 25 years at the minimum level of criminal entry.
