    Nice try but that's Obama's garbage fence that is being (or has been) replaced.

    I thought the OP was demonstrating that the old fence sucked and that's why we need a new one and that's correct we do.

    Good post, thx for sharing

    PS those guys should go out for American Ninja Warrior I think they do pretty good on cliffhanger if they make it to level three.

    The sections that have been replaced so far are the same design. You can literally look at any picture of it online

    As opposed to simply walking across? Sounds like an improvement.

    A physical barrier is needed, but we also need technology coupled with more agents. The correct action is diverting military spending, reallocate it for Border Patrol.

    How would sensors have stopped that? The sensors should be located at the top of the fence, as soon as someone reaches the top the alarms go off. And while the most athletic of men might be able to climb it, the pregos won’t.

    Anything is better than nothing.

    A single 20,000 volt wire at the top would do wonders. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::flagus:

    Yep. The attempt here is to say "look at this atypical outlier of a situation, this proves this thing doesn't work at all".

    An opposing physical barrier is effective, but has to be used in addition with technology, personel, and an elimination of the things which motivate illegal immigration.

    This problem is solvable, it's just that some don't want to solve it because it's beneficial to them.

    The video was published on April 1, 2016. This is Trump's Wall?

    I thought he hadn't built any wall by that time?

    The doesn’t want a physical barrier, they want a burglar alarm. Burglar alarms don’t stop burglaries, they only let you know when one is happening. The left says they want border security which implies they don’t want illegals here. But once they’re here they defend and protect them, offer them lawyers, sanctuary states and healthcare. If that’s not enough, they want to abolish ICE and are against voter ID.

    Pretty much indefensible.

    They know what they're doing, as do we.

    They're trying to usher in a 3rd world dystopian shithole, because that's the scenario in which they're empowered.

    That ladder is more effective than simply walking?

    The fact that someone would now need to spend money and exert additional physical effort only adds to the necessity of a physical barrier.

    Couple a barrier with technology and more personnel, well, you know what happens.

    Just sayin the unclimbable wall is not really so unclimbable.
    But your right. You can walk to the end and go around.

    Well, that's not really the Trump border wall because the top 6' is covered with sheet metal.

    Who cares, a couple dudes who're probably high on meth managed to climb the wall. So what? It's much better than being able to casually stroll across.

    There's many alterations, unfortunately can't divulge much as it may cost my job... but stay tuned folks, we're building a wall.

    So how would your sensors stop That? Face it, you want open borders and illegals to flood the joint.

    Not all sections of the border wall have sheet metal at the top, it varies on how isolated the area is, it's essentially a way of cutting costs for materials. The two pictures I posted were both newly constructed fencing. Also, sheet metal at the top of the fence is not a new design, it's been a part of the border fence design for decades, but again the design varies on the area, some parts of the border have triple layer fencing

    According to trumps campaign pledge, it was supposed to be a 40ft tall concrete wall and was to be paid for entirely from Mexico. I've never seen concrete that looks like that before. And as of yet, Mexico hasn't paid us a penny towards the construction of the wall.

    Trump's had several "new" border walls.
    Some 20 feet.
    Some 20 feet with topper
    Some with sharp tops.
