"TEST OF STEEL PROTOTYPE FOR BORDER WALL SHOWED IT COULD BE SAWED THROUGH"
A photo exclusively obtained by NBC News shows the results of the test after military and Border Patrol personnel were instructed to attempt to destroy the barriers with common tools.
The Trump administration directed the construction of eight steel and concrete prototype walls that were built in Otay Mesa, California, just across the border from Tijuana, Mexico. Trump inspected the prototypes in March 2018. He has now settled on a steel slat, or steel bollard, design for the proposed border barrier additions. Steel bollard fencing has been used under previous administrations.
. . .
However, testing by DHS in late 2017 showed all eight prototypes, including the steel slats, were vulnerable to breaching, according to an internal February 2018 U.S. Customs and Border Protection report.
It may be that we need to go back to the drawing boards/CAD programs.
And a new burgeoning industry of smuggling will begin....running Saws-All equipment from the US into Northern Mexico.
Democrats will ultimately legislate the legality under the Recreational Saws-All Transporting Act.
Their compassion knows no bounds, folks.
Lol you still hung up on concrete I guess you’ve never heard of jackhammer or kango gun?
Of course the wall won’t be impenatrable regardless of the building material.
But again for about the 30th time now the wall will deter crossing and border agents will have time to respond to any attempt to cross or penetrate the barrier.
I believe no Wall of any type can be erected, but then abandoned and left unmanned.
A Wall of concrete or steel is a mighty deterrent and beats the whey out of an open and unmanned border.
If crickets can drive people deaf and mad in Cuba, I suspect a myriad of signals, even top secret ones, can serve as EYES for every inch of The Wall, as well as additional effective deterrents to invasion The Wall may provide.
When in doubt, mine the place. Then, we can nap until we hear a BOOM which signals the undertaker. :D
these people would have given up the blueprints to the Norden bombsight, noting that the crosshairs were made out of real human hair.
