What the mainstream media won't show you: The Border Wall IS Being Built...
video at link
Looks like a construction project of a tall steel slatted fence in progress somewhere on the border.

The wall shown could be taller for my tastes. But "steel slats" will do for the most part.
It is amazing that Congress can deny us the wall. This has shown me a lot about our country and its government. I think "deep state" is really "open state" now, there is no attempt to even disguise the arrogance of them doing contrary to what their constituents sent them to do.
Remember "kill Obamacare"? Same kind of thing.

The rust acts like a protective coating on steel structures and impedes more rusting inside the steel, because to oxidize iron (which is rust) it needs oxygen and the rust coating acts like a wall!

Regarding the wall height:
The height is certainly the result of an engineering analysis. One criteria might very well be and likely is, how high can the wall be to insure that some falling from that height is not fatally injured? That is, build the wall high enough so that someone falling from a ladder of that height might be injured but not killed.
As a designer, the wall presents many interesting design problems not normally encountered
The result is not a “killer wall”

The cars you see rust through are what 0.1” thick/10 guage? Not enough thickness for initial rust to act as a preventive coating. Those vertical columns are several inches thick. It will be 100+ years for them to rust through.

Watch the video carefully, the steel beams are bigger than the reporters arms...I am guessing 4” thick.

Of course the media will ignore any news which depicts PDJT winning. The vast crowd of low information voters must be treated like mushrooms (feed them cow manure & keep them in dark). The media will do anything to portray Pelosi as winning to keep the Rat voters enthused.

Bullies only harass those weaker than themselves. Drug cartels are scared of the US military.

Don’t need oil. You see that large flat plate welded at the top of steel columns? There is no place to grab anything to climb further. This is a clever design. The flat steel plate does double duty to strengthen the steel columns.

Thanks AW!
Our President, he gets credit for so little.
Thank YOU Mr. President.
We, at last, will get our wall.
My vote, helped him to enter the office. Citizens, this man has our backs; something you’ll not hear from the MFM.

The design is excellent, because it is economical and effective. That flat plate welded at top of steel columns makes it impossible to climb over without a tall ladder. And if you manage to ladder it to the top of the fence, to jump down will break something in your bones.

My objection to this design is that it seems too easily removable by some future pol.
I do expect that it will be a fairly effective barrier functionally.

“My objection to this design is that it seems too easily removable by some future pol.”
On the other hand, this “fence” design would serve as a wonderful foundation to create a full concrete wall by some future pol.

and make your ladder on the wall. Easy Peazy.
