Smuggling gangs in Mexico have continuously sawed through President Trump’s controversial border wall using every day power tools, according the U.S. agents and officials with knowledge of the incidents.
The security breaches, made with a popular cordless reciprocating saw that can sell for less than $100, has been used to open gaps large enough for people and drug loads to filter through.
When fitted with 'specialized' blades, the tool can break through one of the wall's steel and concrete bollards in just minutes.
The Washington Post reports that after slicing through a bollard, smugglers will push the steel out of the way, allowing an adult to fit through the opened space.

Landmines are hit or miss, so to speak. I’m more in favor of triggered bouncing betties or an array of claymores.
To me, - this would be an act of WAR.
Take all compensatory actions necessary. Gloves Off!
“Smugglers in Mexico are SAWING through sections of Trump’s ‘virtually impenetrable’ border wall using popular power tools that cost less than $100”
I call bullsheet rock on that
Nothing in the $100 is going to cut through thick hardened steel quickly
You would need a heavy duty blade, gas powered saw and water to keep it cool from melting
jeez
I like it when news dweebs who never used a hammer in their life are making up stories about how a $100 saw from home depot is going to cut through hardened steel concrete and rebar and do it so quick.
Those $100 saws can’t even cut wood quick
Fake news
Normally, a claim like this would have a picture of a verifiable section of the new border wall with a piece cut out.
“The Wall” is not merely steel and concrete. It is also equipped with sensors along its length, not always detectable to the determined wall-crasher, and together with overhead drone surveillance, these breaches are located relatively quickly. That is what the agents along the wall are best equipped to do, catch the breaks before a flood comes pouring through.
Think of it as the dikes surrounding the Netherlands, that keeps back the sea, and allows for below-sea-level living. Only constant vigilance keeps the sea at bay.
How about rock-salt claymores?
Time to get out the SAWs.
Anyone working that hard to breach national security is a clear threat.
If we imbed ferocious Dobermans every two feet, that would stop this.
Trump speaks in hyperbolic terms. Period. It is his style, schtick, or whatever you want to call it. It is why the left-wing media says he has told 10,000 plus lies.
The wall is part of a complex system with many parts to address the immigration crisis. Period. A barrier is part of the plan along with legal reforms, enforcement of laws on the books, virtual security such as cameras and sensors, and a well run border patrol.
Anyone who does not understand this (or the style of Trump) is being willfully ignorant like our enemedia for the purposes of partisanship.
1) This confirms you posted this as some kind of “gotcha” against Trump
2) Virtual impenetrability comes from a combination of the wall plus the monitoring systems. The wall itself doesn’t have to be literally impenetrable to achieve this.
Where they can squeeze through? Vs. just walking through.
Where are the pictures? No more “anonymous sources”. Given the thousands of lies the “anonymous sources” have been telling us for years in the Fake News, any statement without documented proof is a lie until proven different

Oh “sources” how are they powering these mythical magic saws?
He’s one of those guys that regularly disliked the tariffs againt China.
So yeah. He has a stick up his ass over there in Berlin.
We all know he’s got a ZOT in his future. It’s just a matter of time.
Well he didn’t lie did he?
