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.

How about a functional structure which works, which is durable, and which is reasonably priced? Stopping the invasion and the cartels is serious business. Why is it I have this nagging feeling that there will be serious pushback from the swamp with respect to $ and legal challenges? I’m still of a mind that the military needs to be on the border, in meaningful numbers, for the next 3-4 yrs.
I might consider the alligator moat and the burning river of gas backup.
I saw what you did there...
Well, I suppose those deck locations could also serve as platforms for the deportation catapults (for the troublesome multiple offenders). With appropriate mounts for live webcams, of course.
We used to call them in to border patrol, they would round them up and hand them to ICE.
Ice let them go.
Now we want to make it a nightclub?
A dang old border nightclub?

I was thinking along the same lines. Sooner or later, we’ll need a casino.
Oh man, I gotta be there. Corona beer, or margaritas made with Silver Patron tequila, with plenty of rico tacos.
Pikes with severed heads to great would-be invaders.

From physical violence by fringe lunatic liberals to boycott by fringe lunatic liberal states, sanctuary cities, and lefty businesses.
There will be a physical wall in the sectors where a physical wall is needed. Electronic measures and drones in other areas. Border patrol are involved in the planning.
I want piranhas. A moat with those would be nice
I want booby trapped stuffed animals and water bottles.
You are correct, and the dysfunction is in DC.
Has been since Reagan.
It’s a monster now.
Best drugs in town? ask yer pal the DEA agent
See where this line of thought is going?
How about a shoot gallery. Maybe a game with illegal Pinata’s.
True enough, get tough Feds and states.
Tex has been fighting this war forever.
Liberal heads will explode because they'll hate the wall, but they LOVE bike paths.
If Trump can incorporate a high speed euro-style train into the plan, they can only surrender. They worship euro-trains like pagan gods.
