Big Beautiful Barrier. A 2.25 mile run of 30 foot tall bollards West of the El Centro Port of Entry in Calexico, CA, is the first segment completed with Trump era funding (FY17 money).

DHS Secretary Kirstjen (Border Barbie) Nielsen commemorated this milestone with a plaque. A 20 mile segment West of El Paso may complete as soon as next week, construction is ahead of schedule in San Diego, four miles are underway in downtown El Paso, and many segments are on track to begin in Rio Grande Valley in about ten weeks.

The first milestone completed

Tall as trees

The Secretary announced that eleven more miles would be added on the East side of this (El Centro) Port of Entry.

Heavy steel, set in concrete six feet deep, will stand for generations.

...and she looked good doing it.

Defeatable with a 32’ extension ladder and some knotted rope.

We need 2,000 miles of wall, and fast. We don’t need more target aircraft carriers.

We need something more like this:

Caesar did it with legionaries swinging shovels and pick axes. It should be a piece of cake with bulldozers and front end loaders. Substitute barbed wire and back it up with water canons and tear gas dispensers. That should do the trick.

It’s a start. One day we’ll be reading about the wall’s completion like:

“So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days. And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.”

(Nehemiah 6:15-16; refers to the rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem)

Spray some grease on the top 6 feet of it every month or so.

Any barrier, fortification, demarcation, or wall, is a waste of everyone’s time and money if it doesn't include men authorized to use deadly force to protect it. That's been true, well... since the dawn of time.

Need a sign that says, “If you climb over this wall, you will be pressed through it to get back to your side.”

I think a few of these at reasonable intervals along the wall that are activated by motion detectors should do the trick....

“Aug 17, 2018 · New Mexico is progressing on its 20-mile border wall construction west of Santa Teresa, replacing old posts and rail barriers.

You forgot to mention this one.
There’s even a drone vid showing
the progress on YouTube.

It would be cheaper to just invade Mexico and take them over. Since 20% of their citizens are illegally living in this country, we might as well incorporate them by force.
