“They will dig under it I bet.”

So whats new.
It is easer to find tunnels if you do not have to also patrol as much above ground.

Some more recent video (2:53) of the Tecate, California Wall.

Seeing some of the old and new side by side, really highlights some of the improvement, but the addition of unseen new alarm systems and cameras makes the improvement even much more significant.

All you’d need is an aluminum ladder tall enough to reach the top... it would get you over the top and past the razor wire on the Mexico side, no sweat.

“They will dig under it I bet.”

The left wing keeps saying that the wall will not fix all things, so the wall is no good.

“All you’d need is an aluminum ladder tall enough to reach the top... it would get you over the top and past the razor wire on the Mexico side, no sweat”.

So how do they drop down without getting hurt?

The wall is being built. Of course, the MSM will never report it as they want to maintain the illusion that Trump is breaking his signature promise and hoping that enough Trumpers get discouraged and don't vote for him in 2020 so that they can slip a Democrat back in the White House.

Trump is being smart about this. He's getting it done on the down-low and as the election gets closer, we'll have a big reveal.

SURPRISE!

The video said the fence is back from the border and the workers are still in the U.S.

If a woman gets right up against the fence and has her baby,is that baby an American citizen and become an anchor babe?

Easy! They just bring a grappling hook and some rope, and walk down the other side like Batman and Robin!

"They will dig under it I bet."

The barrier it replaced had no foundation, just posts and panels. Even children were able to scrape away enough of the sandy soil to squirm under, in a matter of minutes.

The new barrier has thick and deep reinforced concrete foundations. 18 foot bollards are required to have foundations a minimum of two feet thick and six feet deep. These 30 foot bollards will require something more, but I don't know the specs, and they might vary from place to place. I saw images of the 30 foot secondary barrier in San Diego, where the foundation was six feet thick!.

Another big change, is that due to the see-through design of the bollards, and the new surveillance cameras to go in with them, as part of the new "Wall System", any tunneling effort has to start far back from the wall, out of sight. The local kids are out of the game, and we are down to only well funded cartel tunnels.

Sensors are added to detect tunneling efforts underway, and periodic patrols with ground penetrating radar can detect changes from the previously recorded underground signatures along a stretch of wall.

Here is an example of a low cost commercial ground penetrating radar, that can be used at relatively high speeds.

Not so fst the US military are retrofitting the new wall with rolls of razor wire on the US side.

InARIZONA...MANY MORE EXAMPLES

ALSO...THE NEW WALLS ARE FITTED WITH SENSORS SO CLIMBERS CAN BE INTERDICTED BEFORE THEY GET DOWN.
