Donald Trump laid out new details in a pre-taped interview that aired Wednesday about the border wall he has called to be built on the U.S.-Mexico border.
"I think the height could be 35 to 45 feet. That's a good height. That's a good height. Anywhere in that neighborhood. Could be higher," Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity during the second part of an Austin, Texas, town hall.
The Republican nominee said he plans to install a fence along 1,000 miles of the 2,000-mile border because only that portion needs to be reinforced.
Trump said the current border allows drug cartels to bring drugs into the U.S. and take their money back out with them.
Then comes the canyons and such.
Don't go all Spock on us! Getting all Logical and all!
Things are now greatly improved in the working relationship between the Tohono O’odham reservation and the U.S. Border Patrol.

Whether there would ever be a 35-40 foot wall across 75 miles of sovereign tribal land is an unknown at this point in time.
The electric fence?
I was thinking poison spikes but electric fence probably makes more sense.
Take a hell of a truck to haul that sucker.
An electric fence with poisoned razor wire is fine, I’m not picky.
And Sally ports, don’t forget them.
And boiling oil.
Definitely cheaper. ;-)

It’s not like we don’t have trucks like that.
If it’s a national priority we can build anything.
Surprise me!

You're dreaming.
Weight of 24' x 35' x 2' Precast Concrete ~245,000lbs.
Max weight on Texas Roads(including truck) - 80,000 lbs.
LoL zot jamese777. Plenty of ways to get around that.
Line/attract the place with Africanized bees hives.
Not dreaming, not accepting failure.
There is a way, if there is the will.
Improvise, adapt, overcome.
If Israel can do it, so can we.
They could make those large prefab concrete barrier walls right there on the border. No need for driving them too far.
That was before you wanted to build a wall on it. Now you would be surprised at how much the value has increased.
Where on earth did you come up with such a bizarre number?
A monolithic concrete slab that's 24 feet by 35 feet by two feet!
You clearly know jack about heavy construction or pre-cast concrete.
Step back from the board and do some quick image searches on precast concrete tee and double tee decks used all across the country...probably even in your area.
Americans have this stuff down pat.
We build stuff like this all the time.
Sure, it’s a big undertaking but that doesn’t
stop Americans.
He also needs to restrict voting rights for this bunch. No voting for 25 years at the minimum level of criminal entry.
