I’ll be pleased when I see some drug mule or coyote impaled on one of those spikes!

A portable generator and an angle grinder would breech it rather quickly, I should think.

Electrify it to make it more of a job to penetrate it.

Don’t care if it is steel slats, concrete, a mix of both or with landmines, just make it now, tall and effective!

I liked the look of some of the previously proposed designs, but I’m not in border patrol, nor am I structural engineer, nor, nor, nor.

I don’t particularly like the slats idea, and can see some downsides, but I’m hopeful someone actually put some thought into it.

That design is what the border guards wanted.

I would like something that rivals the Great Wall of China...something that could be seen by the International Space Station.

I like it very much. But as I said on another thread:
I like it. Points seem sharp enough. Still don’t think it’s tall enough though; would like to see another ten feet added to each slat/spike, and make the slats vibrate, independently of one another, very forcefully up and down, say up and down by another four feet, at, oh, 500Hz. And make Mexico pay, of course!

First impressions: It doesn’t appear to be very easy to scale. Slick, danger at the top, not very welcoming to ladders.

Anything is better than what we got now...which is practically nothing.
Personally, I’m more of a fan the way the Israelis build walls myself.

That was PDJT trolling the media and dems and rinos.

I detest it. Some folks say it’s good because our border control can see what’s on the other side. But, unfortunately, the invaders on the other side can also see through the fence and determine WHEN THE COAST IS CLEAR for them to climb over. And, at any given time, much of our huge border has a “coast is clear” situation.

A TALL & SOLID wall would be far, far more effective.

I like the steel slat fence as long as that steel is hardened to the point it would be very hard to pry apart.the slats would have to be close enough so that children or anyone else for that matter could slip through.

Make it 30 plus feet tall and put razor wire on top.if its built like that I’d be very happy.

A steel slat fence would be many times better than the border barrier we presently have.

Beats the heck out of a dilapidated 4 string barb wire fence.

I like that one. It won’t be so prone to wind damage. Just sink those posts DEEP!
