That trench down the middle should be an alligator-filled moat.

"OK, lizards, it's Taco Tuesday!" 🤣

I watched the 44 minute Fox coverage when he went to Otay Mesa..PDJT said that mexico’s border fences are electrocuted and we wont do that. I said “why not?” OK, if that’s too expensive, then land mines should be cheaper.

Nah. A land mine might not kill them, just blow off a leg, then we’d have to put up with a coalition of domestic leftwads demanding subsidies for prosthetic limbs. La Raza Justice For Jumping Beans, or something.

That is a super “enforcement zone” between those two bollard barriers.

Once they get 2-3 rolls of concertina on top of those bollards, no more ordinary men will get through that barrier - at all.

It will be lit all night with stadium lighting. The whole length will be constantly monitored by cameras from the command post - with artificial intelligence software to alert the guys watching the screens. Additionally, there are multiple other sensors and alarms wired in. Detection will be about 100%. Climbers or ladders will be detected through the bollards, while still in Mexico, as willanyone attempting to tamper with, or breach through the first barrier.

The caravans last year were defeated by a single run of 18 foot bollards. This awesome double barrier, complex wall system, will keep Border Patrol Officers safe behind the bollards,while they pop tear gas on any future mobs trying to rush the border. That game is over for San Diego.

San Diego, the biggest city on the border, and the corridor with the second highest flow of illegals (after only the much larger Rio Grande Valley), will be essentially completely shut around Christmas.

That cleared enforcement zone, free of any stray civilians, is an ideal environment to operate robots. They will be low cost to deploy, once the hard and expensive work of building all this infrastructure is done.

“The caravans last year were defeated by a single run of 18 foot bollards.” Thank you for the good news.

my guess is they are strategizing to get back in power and open the sections where the gates will be, and keep them open.

That’s my question - who will border patrol listen to when dems call the shots again?
