Build that wall!!! We don’t want all the soon-to-be-exiled LIBs to get back in. (one can dream...)

[Berlin_Freeper]

Thirty feet and a moat.

The RFPs are magnificent to read.

Yes, 30 ft does not seem that high.

promise to build a "big, beautiful wall"

On the American side they could plant some nice climbing ivy. On the other side maybe some poison ivy....

The cut through part.......Maybe put some kind of vibration sensor on the wall.....but geeeeez....don’t tell everyone.

How about dig under? How far into the ground does it go?

Hey. Great idea. Perhaps a section of it could be a replica of the wall surrounding The Vatican.

You know. Kinda like Ceasar's Palace and the Pyramids in Vegas.

“How far into the ground does it go?”

It says six feet in the article.

The left is always grandstanding, showing solidarity with whatever group of victims suits them. “We are all muslim now”, etc. I suggest they show solidarity with a new mantra....We are all deported now! And go!

A sniper nest every 1000 feet would be good too. Just use tinted glass and you could leave some of them empty, and just rotate which are “live.” Climb or try to damage the wall...BOOM! Vultures gotta eat too.

Cutting off welfare, EBT, free education for illegal children, e-verify for employers, etc. would have more of an effect than a wall would.

I haven't heard anything about Trump addressing these things.

Is it too much to ask AP to provide actual links to: “ a pair of contract notices posted to a government website”?

I would love to see top 3 bidders awarded performance based contracts.

They are each assigned 50 miles of fence in Phase A, and depending on cost, schedule, & Quality performance, are awarded Phase B contracts.

If each performs to standards they continue to participate in the build.
If any fails, the remaining contractors pick up that share.

[Texas Eagle]

That’s not very deep. I would double it. At least.

[oldasrocks]

A wall that is leaning towards you is very hard to climb. So a V shaped wall with the width at the top. Planter boxes. drip lines and poison ivy built into top.

[puppypusher]

The Crowning achievement upon the completion of that 30 foot tall wall would be to place Razor Wire across the top.

That would really challenge even the most determined criminal alian invader.

Send a list of contractors to berzerkly so they can divest themselves. Fidiots! 🐎💩🏗

Need to stop Obama’s illegal DACA program, too.
