A man jogs on the Mexican side of the Mexico-US border in Tijuana, from where prototypes of the wall that US President Donald Trump wants to build are visible
Eladio Sanchez is unimpressed by the eight border wall prototypes looming over his house in Tijuana, Mexico, almost within spitting distance of where US President Donald Trump will visit Tuesday.
At age 30, he has already snuck over the border several times, and doesn't expect Trump's wall will have much effect on undocumented migrants like him.
Pointing to the only prototype with an angular barrier at the top -- a concrete structure built by Texas Sterling Construction Company -- Sanchez says that one might slow him down a little more than the others.
But, he told AFP, "you can get over it anyway."
"It's just a little more complicated. But people are always looking for a way to get over -- out of necessity, not because we want to."
In Tijuana, Trump's visit to the prototypes looks like just the latest slap in the face from a man who launched his presidential campaign calling Mexican immigrants "criminals" and "rapists" and has since driven US-Mexican relations to their lowest point in recent memory.
It's as if "he wants to come just to tell us he's here, that he's going to do what he promised with the wall," says Sanchez, who lives in a small gray house in a poor neighborhood that juts up against the border, across from Otay Mesa, on the outskirts of San Diego.

... instead of the accurate (i.e., truthful) term "illegal alien" ... though "yahoo" news is appropriately named.
Have not heard or read a follow-up on this.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Several of them could not be scaled without actually poinding pitons into the concrete, and they would not hold most of the time.
They were not scale-able as tested.

lol, I kinda agree. If they are training like and Olympian to climb over all of that, then maybe they can try that hard to stay off food stamps.
I would prefer they use 2800 - 3000 volts on the walls.
Meanwhile, the politicians who support illegals live in mostly white, wealthy neighborhoods.
I don’t think you have to shoot more than a few to get the message out. My question is which side of the fence does the body need to drop?
Haha, that’s funny. :D
‘Everything is more difficult with Trump. He’s more racist’
Racist really? The illegals just using Dem talking points. Trump is married to a LEGAL immigrant. I guess Trump’s crackdown on illegals has NOTHING to do with the FACT that they are in the USA ILLEGALLY.
Electrify the wall.
My conclusion: Most illegal aliens will not be able to scale the chosen wall.

This makes me want to do things I can’t say on this forum (or any other).

From what I understand, it can only become a felony if a person re-enters after having been deported.
Of course I do. Illegal means undocumented. </s>
The truth hurts!
Don't be silly they run regular medical vans down to pick them up and bring them across.
I have been saying that ever sense they shut down Operation Wetback.
An athletic, fit person is going to have a much easier go at scaling such a wall than will one who is not.
