Hours after images of migrants climbing a border wall in San Diego went viral, the Homeland Security Department deployed razor wire Wednesday to prevent a repeat.
The immigrants, who said they were the vanguard of the caravans streaming north through Mexico, ascended the fence Tuesday in a display of defiance. Video and photos showed them cheering and jeering atop the slat-style fence.
Although no arrests or confrontations were reported, Homeland Security took immediate steps to try to keep others from climbing by deploying concertina wire, which coils over itself, creating a thorough barrier.
As we have said repeatedly, being a member of a caravan doesnt give you any special rights to enter the country, said Katie Waldman, Homeland Security spokeswoman.
Homeland Security released photos that show the concertina wire at the top and base of the fence on the U.S. side, as well as a second layer on the sandy beach further inside the U.S.

Yes, if it was barbed wire. But razor wire will shred the blanket. Look at post 23.

Ought to be right next to the first coil, in case somebody manages to leap in and outward. It’d be better to have two walls and ferocious dogs running in between. That’s how they safeguard subway trains at the railyard in NYC.

I think that drpix's question was about the photo I posted, which shows the wall (fence) before the razor wire was added.
In that pic, you can see downward pointing spikes on the US side. They look designed to make it hard to climb up from the US side - which is a bit odd.
Also regarding the razor wire on the US side. I'm sure that is why it is on the US side - to make it more difficult to screw around with. But it doesn't seem that difficult. Especially once you realize that the "wall" isn't really a wall. It just looks that way in the photographs that are conveniently taken at a sharp angle. Have a look at this one:

If this is all they intend to install, it’s a lame attempt.
It’s steel. Weld a row directly to the top and layer it below so you cannot jump beyond it even if you manage to get on top.

I agree. Needs to be on top. Not hanging down. They can't grab the top edge and pull themselves up onto it. Whoever ordered it placed that way should be demoted.

Who put that stuff up there?
Hell, I was Navy, but even I know better than to do that (assuming it's hanging on the USA side of the "wall").

I want to see a video of some big tough MS13 terorists screaming, bleeding and hanging from the wire.
Let it go viral.

Partner, I was alarmed in the 2016 elections where Mexicans that were Illegal Aliens voted for Miss Hillary and and yet they should not be allowed to vote in our elections and Illegal Aliens voted in counties that border the country of Mexico!!! BTW, these counties are full of DemonRat party members who do not care about our country.
Partner, you would think that the MSM would report these facts but they will not since the MSM can not say that Illegal Aliens were voting and the MSM would not be able to give the Talking points to the DNC since they would be out of a job.
It is happening at an alarming rate and President Trump saw this some time ago. You and I saw this some time ago also. All we have to do is look at our Public Schools here in Texas. It is alarming!!!
President Trump was new on the job and he did not know that he had one of the worst Speakers in the House names Paul Ryan and he was a Republican.
Partner, the Bush family is pro Illegal Aliens Family as was the Imposter and America Hating Piece of Work Obama.
Partner, we need a 30' high fence on our Southern Border from San Diego, Ca. to Brownsville, Texas.
We will be in big trouble if we do not stop this Illegal Alien insanity.
