SAN DIEGO — One bidder wants to cover President Donald Trump’s border wall with solar panels. Another suggests building a wall large enough for a deck that would offer tourists scenic views of the desert.
In the competition to build the wall, traditional bids are interspersed with more whimsical ideas.
As Tuesday’s deadline for bids passed, US Customs and Border Protection declined to identify bidders or say how many there were, which is standard practice in government contracting. The federal government expects to announce around June 1 which companies will be hired to build prototypes.
Designs must be able to repel pickaxes and sledgehammers for at least an hour and be aesthetically pleasing from the north side.
Trump’s multibillion-dollar plan promises potentially big profits but also risks inviting a backlash from people who oppose the project.

Nonsense,just a plain,sturdy wall——please.
Solar panels that electrocute anyone who climbs across.
Wetback Fritters.
A deck on top of a wall?
We call them deer stands with shooting rails around here.
My bid includes turrets.
Solar panels would be smashed by stones and citizens looking down from above could easily get hurt also.
How about a moat filled with gators.
They should include sensors that would pick up any tunneling attempts....because the Border Patrol have discovered dozens of tunnels under the border.
Tourist deck makes sense. It’s for Dems that oppose Trump. Let them use it as a Wailing wall while being shot at by the drug dealers.
Mule stands.
...be aesthetically pleasing from the north side...
And display skull and crossbones on the south side.
“How about a moat filled with gators.”

Works for me-—or those pythons they are trying to get rid of in The Everglades.

Yeah, with murder holes to pour hot tar, and oil down on them, then set them ablaze.

FReepers have the greatest imaginations. :-)

man, that escalated quickly
...but if your referring to MS-13, human traffickers, etc., it’s a start.
How about a monorail on top of the wall with Trump hotels, casinos, swimming pools, and scenic views for tourists. They could even go underground and have a subway with newspaper stands and taco stands. Will make commutes a lot easier. It will become a major tourist attraction. The tourist and hotel fees will pay for the wall.
And vending machines. Lots of vending machines.
Good luck with that stupid ****
There will not even be a full physical wall
There will be a monitored border but the citizens will not be allowed to participate in any way, let alone lounge about here the fed does nothing
