Donald Trump tests eight 30ft high walls for border with Mexico

They stand like surreal monuments in the California scrubland: prototypes of Donald Trump's proposed "big, beautiful" border wall between the US and Mexico.

The eight 30ft high slabs are the first tangible part of the controversial project that the US President says will help solve America's immigration problems.

The wall was never intended to stop breaches but only to slow them down. Without the BP the wall is useless. We all get that, well not you apparently.

[central_va]

What if unicorns eat the wall or a meteor hits it? LOL

[central_va]

The wall is a force multiplier . It is not an impervious barrier. No wall is. History is not something you know much about is out?

[deport]

Damn. I bet we can think of a bunch more things
they will have to address. Brick mites....LOL.

[bert]

Wrong...... minus appropriations there can be no contracts.

The congress so far at least, is holding Trump to his promise and making no additional wall construction appropriations

“What the Hell are you a fan of? Being a loser.“

I am a fan of adequate planning, superior execution and results in a project that is vital to our country.

Not a fan of Mr. Stompy Foot “do something anything yesterday”. That’s being a loser.

[Yo-Yo]

The reading of tag lines is a lost art.

The wall on the lower set of pics and second from the right side with something like a culvert on the top looks like a winner.

The culvert would eliminate most schemes to crawl over the top.

Also, our border patrol agents can observe what is happening on the other side of the wall.

Photo of the year would be TrumpObozo and Moosella attempting to scale the walls.....!

[chris37]

Plan away then, and celebrate zero execution. Tick, tock, tick tock.

And I said do something now, not yesterday.

Yesterday has already passed, and it was wasted.

[chris37]

I didn’t intimate anything.

I am very plain spoken, and you substituted your words for mine, and then attempted to mock me for them.

They are going to talk the whole time, and nothing more, and you’re going to defend it.

That’s whats going to happen.

You don't seem to know what's happening and you've twisted into knots attempting to convince others wall is not a deterrent. And when told Trump has already dramatically slowed the flow of illegals, before the wall has even been constructed, ya start posting nursery poems.

You're FOS and you described the tagline below perfectly.☺

I like that one, too. Maybe they can pump boiling hot water through the pipe on top. That'd be a little "surprise" for anyone actually trying to get up there.

[Ssssssssssss!] "Ayyyyyy! Caramba!" [falls back to Mexican side]

[connyankee]

tick tock...

[chris37]

Indeed.

You may well be out of time within a year.

Don’t assume.

[vmpolesov]

Okay mr expert you tell us all how it should be done

[Elsie]

Well...

I had ASSUMED (and we ALL KNOW what THIS means...) that your statement inferred that there was one.

Sorry for not realizing that apparently you like graffiti.

They forgot the graffiti that will adorn these slabs the 1st day they are up.

[Elsie]

If there WERE anyone on the other side looking!!

[Elsie]

I'm merely pointing out simple solutions to simple problems.

I never implied a wall is not a deterrent at all.

In the Objective-Strategic-Tactical (OST) problem-solving model, the objective is to state a difficulty, the strategy is to formulate a plan for overcoming the difficulty, and the tactic is a specific action carried out to solve the problem.
