I think it is a good move, but in the pictures it doesn’t look like it goes far under ground to deter diggers, unless I am missing something.

Fisher isn’t going to put up junk. He’s looking at future contracts and his reputation. What we can’t see was no doubt put in ahead of the slatted wall when the photos were taken. Betcha there’s some neat secret stuff in that footer too.
There are other videos from the Fisher group about their process. 6 ft deep concrete foundation to prevent tunneling & fiber optic motion sensing cable on both sides of the fence that can distinguish between vehicles and human steps to allow border agents time to respond.
From Company Spokesman “We’re also adding paved roadways and we’re adding value added by using all weathering steel instead of just regular carbon steel to take the life of the barrier to 75 years versus 25 to 30, and then finishing it probably 2.5 to 3 times as fast.”

If this fence is on the line one could not stop someone on the mexican side if they were cutting a hole in the fence.
What happens when someone climbs it and falls off and is injured? Is the owner going to be liable?

This kind of effort is meant to stop the hoards casually walking across the border, not small numbers of especially athletic individuals or those with special skills.
How does it compare to the wall you built?

You can tell the depth of the wall underground just by looking at photos of what’s above ground? Man, you have some extraordinary vision capabilities!
