Weld On some horizontal stabilizers. I thought the fact this wall was see through was so patrols on the US side could see through. The article says it would take 15 to 20 minutes to make an opening. where were the patrols?

“”””””Some of the damage has happened in areas where construction crews have yet to complete the installation of electronic sensors that, once operational, will more quickly detect the vibrations sawing produces on the bollards, the officials said.”””””””””””””””

It ain’t finished yet, Jim.

“Substitute a stronger kind of steel.”

Maybe use Reardon Steel? They tore up some train tracks and have a pile of it out in the desert

Also found this pic. I think they're prototype tests, faked by pMSNBC as real.

That looks like it was done by cutting torch.

Couldn’t it be non-lethally electrified?

A complete LIE.

The one on the left was done with a torch. The one to the right of it was done with a saw or disc.

This is a fake hit job on a prototype and anyone who swallows this crap is foolish.

I add this to the file that I have of FAKEry. Number 1 in that file was a picture of a ladder being used to get over the fence. The caption from the MSM indicated the absolute uselessness of ‘the Wall’ if a simple ladder defeated it.

My thoughts were as follows; no truck full of illegals or drugs is going to use that ladder. Unless someone has another ladder on the other side, that is a long drop. The ladder is a CHOKE POINT, where only one person can cross the fence top at a time, as opposed to large groups crossing before there was a fence.

In this case, yes, the border fence CAN be cut with time and effort. Said fence also can be strengthened. What this article lies about (omission) is that it is still an improvement over the previous ‘No Wall’ condition!

I’m pretty sure volunteers are keeping a close eye on certain areas that do not have full sensor capabilities yet.

I am quite sure that they are all filled with concrete.

The breaches have been made using a popular cordless household tool known as a reciprocating saw that retails at hardware stores for as little as $100. When fitted with specialized blades, the saws can slice through one of the barrier's steel-and-concrete bollards in a matter of minutes

Those sentences do not sound like they were written by, nor intended to be read by, anyone who has ever handled a sawzall. Of course you can saw through the damned things, no wall is impenetrable. Any redneck could come up with a half dozen ways to knock down the wall bollards. The qoal is to make any breaching effort sufficiently difficult or obvious so that border guards can be alerted and respond.

I do believe they built a prototype and cut ind are claiming it was done on the border.

This was done by the fake news media to “claim” it was breached.

This was staged by the lying news media.

Plain and simple.

I don’t know nearly enough to sling accusations, but didn’t engineers think about that ahead of time?

Is there no “saw proof” material out there?

Seems almost impossible.

But like I said I don’t know much on the subject

I believe that is a picture of a test. I also suspect we’ll see it again in the future.

It was.
