They ARE putting up FENCE, not a WALL. There is a difference. And pointing out the difference is not Trump Hatred. Surely you are not so ignorant to not see that, but guess you’d rather through out insults instead of discussing facts and reality. Too bad, FR is best when people have discussions instead of a few trying to ignorantly bully people with insults.

Fences can be just as good as solid walls. I’m not trying to bully you with insults, I’m sick of your ignorant and nasty Trump hatred.

Israel has fences and they work quite well. Some places fences are better according to BP since they can see what’s happening on the other side.

As soon as Congressvermin get their act together a WALL can be built where it suits better than a TALL STRONG FENCE. Trump cannot usurp Congressvermin as much as I might like it. He has to go the legal route. Vilifying him because he is not an Absolute Monarch is duplicitous and beyond stupid.

The terrain of the border varies from water, to shifting sand, to solid rock, and many other challenges. An actual wall is not going to work in every area. Some areas are more suited to a fence or other method of securing it. That is a fact. I just want the border secured, I want a wall where it will function best, I want what will function best all along the border. That should be common sense for anyone to figure out.

Some areas on the border already have a secure fence that has made a world of difference in those areas. Many more areas of the border do not have a real fence or wall or any real method of securing that area. Those are the areas that need our attention. Those are the areas that are getting the President’s attention.

The Border Patrol told Trump that in many locations it's vital for them to see thru the wall to observe activity on the other side.

The approximately 5 solid feet on top makes it a wall for those trying to climb it. And as for the rest of it being a fence... Prison bars are NOT fences and that wall's/barrier's vertical uprights make prison bars look like cocktail stirrers.

Which gets me to an image this 1st reminded me of:

That "fence" is made of steel columns filled with concrete.

“They ARE putting up FENCE, not a WALL.”

The bollards are filled with concrete and rebar, so they really are concrete posts. The heavy steel pipe on the outer surface of those posts, protects them from sledgehammer or chisel attacks. The four inch gaps between bollards allow anyone approaching them to be seen and constantly monitored - which has been shown to be a powerfully effective feature, much better than a solid wall in operation.

Call it whatever, but it is what the Border Patrol has found to be most effective. Better to use the best design.
