What do you think of the Bollard Fence Design (steel slat picket-fence)

Have you seen the design for the Bollard Fence Design (steel slat picket-fence) that DJT has been talking up this week ? What do you think of it ? How penetrable ?

The design features a see through capability, which has plusses and minuses. Steel like spikes crown each picket. Costs would be considerably less. Construction time minimized. Trump calls it beautiful. It certainly is more appealing than a concrete wall.

Your thoughts please

I’ve seen pics of some of the barb wire fences on the border that are total useless, they look like they’ve had no maintenance for decades.

Half or all the strands are on the ground, they wouldn’t even stop livestock.

Not sure where those stories came from that they could not get over. What I was told is SF and Navy SEALS were part of the design testing and they rated each structure for difficulty. I did hear that some designs failed due to that, but I did not hear they could not get over any of them.

Yes, but take the concrete out of the top section and replace with steel (cheaper to make)

done

And solve the “ Roberts ruling “ of no matter where they cross as this would be a major detterent and also I’m assuming have a legal entry point armed and guarded

A fence where what awaits on the other side can be seen is a half assed measure.

The current design is inadequate.

I have purposely avoided
The border since this caravan
Crap started but I am intimately
Familiar with the fence in Campo
and for the most part little has
changed in 13 years there.
Wished I could post Photos.

It would be cheaper to simply execute illegal border crossers as spies as per historical tradition. All this nonsense would stop right away at negligible cost.

you can do patrolling easily with drones. It’s a perfect job for them. With GPS technology, trouble locations can be sent instantly to nearest land base.

The perps would be gone by the time the troops show up.

What do you think of the Bollard Fence Design?

Not much.

A 200 yard wide saturated mine field would be far more effective, far cheaper, far more efficient to maintain...AND it would drive the Liberals batshit crazy!

I'm all for the steel slats. The Border Patrol prefers a barrier with optics to the other side (not just cameras). This barrier, vs the usual chain link fence, has proven very effective.

The douchebags can argue semantics, but to me, it is a wall, and more to the point, it is a physical wall to the invaders.

Terrible “wall” (fence).

A solid wall would be better, with a top that bends south-ward so it’ll be impossible to get over. CCTVs every quarter mile or so to be able to monitor what’s going on on the other side.

I thought it would be “ten feet taller”. Disappointed.
