    No way in hell was that cut with a hack saw
    first no way you could get a hack saw in between the columns to start cutting second a hack saw wont cut the concrete on the inside
    third if you look at the steels edge it was cut with a cutting torch
    so tell me how many people have a cutting torch laying around and the know how to use one ?

    I noticed that too. All I've heard is that he want $5B. He hasn't said what this money is going to be spent on but trying to convince people that no more money will be needed

    and I'm telling you nothing ever made was 100% impenetrable
    Safes for example never was a safe made that couldn't be cracked one way or the other so should we stop using safes?
    so I should just leave my guns laying around because you know someone out there can get into my locked gun safe so why bother keeping them locked up right?

    Actually his main point was that the illegal immigrants don't cause any trouble

    That is exactly what they are saying. Since it isn't 100% effective it is better to do nothing.

    Ah, reinventing his meaning now. I love it when the left does that.

    Yeah, it is hard for illegal immigrants to cause trouble...because there is a wall.

    I’m betting the guy south of the border who starts a business cutting through the slats for people looking to cross will have a pretty good torch. Might even know how to use it too.

    NBC News doesn't say what the U.S. Army used to cut through the steel slats.

    Every class of a U.S. Navy warship is tested to see if they can withstand an explosion. Each ship is inflicted with tens of millions of dollars in damage while conducting these test.

    After the test the ship is repaired and sent to serve with the fleet.



    The U.S. Navy detonated a 10,000-pound explosive charge near the USS Jackson to test how well the Independence-class warship could withstand underwater shocks.

    NBC is trying to give illegals ideas on how to bypass security measures.

    so how many more border patrol would need to be hired? and would that be cheaper the constructing a WALL/FENCE?

    I'm thinking that NBC believes that Americans are so stupid that they don't know that you can cut through steel.

    As President Trump said this morning before going to the border in Texas, you can cut through concrete using acid.

    Ever looked closely a Chi-Com AK-47 ?

    They use a laser for milling the steel receiver.

    Cheap, effective but it looks so shitty looking.

    Seriously? That's what you are going with? Lulz, ok then. You don't think there will be things called "sensors" and "cameras" on the Wall?

    If there is no Wall, only a fence and some patrols and different laws, you and yours can easily roll back or subvert whatever is done later. Not so for a Wall.

    Keeping the illicit, toxic permanently dependent unskilled, illiterate vote farm in place is what this is all about. You know it. I know it. Not fooling anyone.

    Reinventing? It's actually his words. Which bit of this do you not understand "Occasionally migrants come thru but residents say their community is quite safe."

    You would not need to cut through the concrete. Cut the steel and the concrete will not have any strength to withstand a sledge hammer

    Sensors, cameras, drones and whatever technology the left wants to use still needs to be developed, needs to work in all weather, needs to be maintained, can be defunded and not one single sensor, camera or drone will stop an illegal.
