I like the unscalable looking monolith on the far right.

The one with the barrel on top of it looks even more unscalable. No way to gain purchase at the top.

Me too.

They are bullet proof and soldiers can put up scaffolds to man the tops if ever necessary in the future.

Thats a “bang” for the buck.

If we do the wall border right, we don't have to be that concerned about people scaling the wall.

Once the wall is up, it will slow down everybody. I'm assuming we will have security cameras with motion detectors along the entire border and also have a decent staffing of border agents.

So the second somebody enters the wall perimeter, even before they try scaling the wall, an alarm will have gone off and border agents will be rushing to the scene and will detain anybody that even tries (scaling the wall).

I assume this will be pretty much the game plan.

Top it off with rolls of concertina wire just to be sure.

"I like the unscalable looking monolith on the far right."

Those would be very fast and easy to clear for moderately physically fit people with grappling hooks and knotted ropes. I've done it. The barriers that were chosen by the Army, the Border Patrol and engineers are the best for the purpose.

And yes, I saw the leftist story about saws being used to cut through steel tubing and grout. There were omissions in that story. It was fake news in essence. I've also done construction work with concrete and steel.

It doesn’t have a turret on it

It’s actually one of the most easily scaled. Grappling hook and line, that’s all you need - easy toss to top and get it to catch.

I like the one with the tube - with the heavy equipment by it...won’t let a grappling hook get a grip.

They all need some razor sharp spikes across the tops of them.
