I have been trying to make your simple point for years. I sick of hearing the naysayers complaining it wasn't done yesterday. Sheesh, why does no one research priority areas and other areas that don't need a 30 foot wall?
I have repeatedly tried to explain from Yuma to Phoenix that it would take a military logistics division to pass across that vast desert. I drove that distance to join the Minutemen. Look on a map, folks while keeping in mind coyotes/illegals need a staging point to blend in with the population. There are none there and in other places mountainous. We don't need 2000 miles of bollard barriers. We only need them in areas of staging points which are close to major hwys and towns.
Living 2 miles from Tijuana and having illegals go through my yard, I know what I'm talking about.
Plus, apparently Pres. Trump's threat of tariffs on Mexico has caused them to mobilize their troops to their southern border. When's the last time any FR reader has heard about a mass caravan heading out way? Central America is getting the message.
Yes, there is more to be done, but stop complaining about the wall not being built. It is!

Congratulations on the completion of your new solid bollard Primary Barrier.
I noticed that while they started out using 18 footers, they ended up with 30 footers on the last stretch. I get the the impression that this is a general trend, and 30 footers are growing more common.
The mighty 30 foot Secondary Barrier is progressing quickly in San Diego (about half done). It is expected to complete in January.
Merry Christmas!
