Trump’s Big Beautiful Wall

Has holes in it, already.

After cutting through the base of a single bollard, smugglers can push the steel out of the way, allowing an adult to fit through the gap. Because the bollards are so tall — and are attached only to a panel at the very top — their length makes them easier to push aside once they have been cut and are left dangling, according to engineers consulted by The Washington Post.

I bet this wasn’t in his happy folder.

 
Vitiello, who helped oversee the development of barrier prototypes in 2017, said the administration could have added better deterrent features if Democrats in Congress had provided more funding.

“The bollards are not the most evolved design; they are the most evolved that we could pay for,” Vitiello said. “We never said they would be an end-all, be-all.”

Yeah....its not like it was a liberal/progressive/socialist/communist/DEMOCRAT that started this thread cheering and promoting LAWLESSNESS and open borders. Why do the majority of democrats HATE Trump more than they love their nation and the rule of law? Answer: Evil is a evil does. The democrats as demonstrated by YOUR POST are simply not used to getting a quid pro quo return when they attack lawful conservatives...they are used to do nothing rhino's that simply allow the lawlessness on the left to go on unchecked.

Reality: There's a new sheriff in town. Expect to get called out on your lawlessness every time you attempt to promote it. ;)

Uh, ... you did notice Trump moving to Florida to protect his assets, right?

The joke is, Trump claimed it was impenetrable. It seems they cut through it quit easily.

Trump also claimed professional mountain climbers could not scale the wall, and yet, it seems that was also accomplished.

I didn’t think Trump did anything substandard, according to Trump.

the scaling hasn't been done -is it possible? 30 feet is tall, but it's theoretically possible. it also bakes in the sun.

If you read the whole article it says this is the first of 2 walls, with a road in between for agents responses.

funny how Dems supported a wall/fence/barrier before Trump..

Democrats supported a wall in places, not on the entire length of the border.

You keep trying to distract from the fact that the wall has been penetrated after Trump declared that was not possible.

He got a billion and a half and has built a few feet. I think he made it exactly as he wanted.

Odd...I didn't see him mention that at last night's Klan rally?

I seem to remember pictures of sawed steel when the prototypes were being tested. We had quite a bit of discussion here about it.

If the morons in this thread (ironically, I have them all on ignore) want to discuss funding, why not mention Mexico? Why is it the Dems'/Taxpayers' 'fault'?

It was a compromise for DACA. It’s not that they wanted the wall, they wanted DACA.

DACA was only necessary because Boner, and then Eddie Munster, refused to bring the bi partisan Senate bill to the floor of the house. There was a comprehensive immigration bill ready to be signed into law for years

Trump said that, but border control never did -it has been significantly hardened
and not everyone carries a reciprocating saw. the 2nd wall though is where they run into trouble, by that time agents show up

I don't recall the Dems being against a wall -all I recall is them refusing to finance any part of it
except existing wall.

Thank goodness for Mexico! they care more about border security then the Dems
