This is Fake News. Sawing through concrete with a reciprocating saw is bull. Getting through this wall in minutes is a lie. Maybe a gas powered abrasive saw. But not in minutes and without water.

"This is Fake News. Sawing through concrete with a reciprocating saw is bull. Getting through this wall in minutes is a lie. Maybe a gas powered abrasive saw. But not in minutes and without water."

Agreed. The piece is a lie. I've used reciprocating saws, circular concrete saws and just about every kind of saw. Those bollards would be time consuming to cut through, and battery powered tools would be the worst. There are ways, but getting through that fence wouldn't be fast work without some particular demo ordnance or heavy equipment with expensive modifications.

The wall is only one of several kinds of security measures that allow time for the Border Patrol to do its work, and all of those security installations and training need to be done before assessing the efficacy of border security.
