New anti-climbing border wall prototype being installed in California

As crews continue working on a new border wall segment near the coast, people are starting to notice that the top of the barrier has a new design... “It’s the first of its kind along the U.S.-Mexico border,” said Rios. “It’s an anti-climbing feature that’s meant to stop people from scaling the border wall.”... A source told Border Report the metal segments being added to the top of the barrier are a prototype, and if they keep migrants from climbing the wall, the feature will be added in other areas along the southern border.

"Border Patrol decided to try it out along Friendship Park, which sits on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean."

Long overdue.

I could scale that fence, but the people it’s meant to keep out are probably malnourished and not in as good shape as I am.

[Dr. Sivana]

Maybe you could, but you can’t toss bambinos over to the other side. 99% effective is better than 90% (or less) effective.

That wall is to keep Californians in the state.

[Tom Tetroxide]

Set up a mine field, seismic sensors, explosive-laden drones to find the illegals, video cameras that can see night and day, and other goodies to make it pretty much impossible to cross the border.

Rios said. “This new feature, which will likely cause more injuries, does the exact opposite. It represents denial, represents exclusion and is pushing people away.”

If only those overhanging pieces had pipes for ejecting boiling oil. Or we could re-invent and deploy the British Livens Large Gallery Flame Projector...

We'd only have to use it one time.

“I could scale that fence”

That I’d like to see!

[Seaplaner]

LOL, good one!

What did they have before? Pro-climbing border walls?

All walls are meant to keep people and animals out. With illegals., there is no wall that they can't climb. This 'anti-climbing' wall will be taken down by California liberals once the first illegal gets hurt by the 'anti' portion of the wall.

[chuckb87]

Probably to keep tax payers from escaping.

What did they have before?

Kamala Harris’s welcoming committee?

[Empire_of_Liberty]

How far apart are the gates?

[TribalPrincess2U]

Looks like a few muscle men could scale that wall then throw ropes to help others.
BC won’t see.

Invasions require strong invasion measures.

[MeanWestTexan]

All fixed fortifications are vulnerable if completely unmanned.

good to see you back on the beat beaubo.

who is paying for these “new” wall sections?

who is installing the new walls?

I thought the “new arrivals” were just coming ashore near san diego by boat

Kamala Harris’s welcoming committee?

Good one.

Likely with $30,000 credit cards that won't have to be paid back, and hotel rooms prepaid for 5 years, and voting cards, and prepaid phones forever, and 3-meals a day restaurants for 5 years. All that to guarantee they become loyal democrat voters.

Needs more barbed wire.
