They began demolishing the border wall prototypes yesterday, to make way for the new permanent barrier to run through that spot. The foundations for the new 30 footers seem to be a good six feet thick in the photo accompanying the article. These new 30 footers (with all the new technology going in with them) are going to basically shut the door through San Diego. Just the "little" new 18 foot bollard primary barrier (below) has already greatly quieted down that area.

Say goodbye to the old prototypes - the new permanent 30 foot barrier is coming through that spot soon.

But it’s being built around several Democratic politicians’ mansions. Article misidentified the photos. /s

This is a replacement area. We need NEW wall. Can’t wait.

LOVE it! Winning! President Trump has it right: Every time ‘rats get in his face, up the height of the wall by ten feet! Pretty soon it’s going to be 40, then 50, etc.

700,000 illegal aliens entered legally but never went back home.
“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Entry/Exit Overstay Report. The report provides data on departures and overstays, by country, for foreign visitors to the United States who entered as nonimmigrants through an air or sea Port of Entry (POE) and were expected to depart in FY 2017. The in-scope population for this report includes temporary workers and families, students, exchange visitors, temporary visitors for pleasure, temporary visitors for business, and other nonimmigrant classes of admission.

DHS has determined that there were 52,656,022 in-scope nonimmigrant admissions to the United States through air or sea POEs with expected departures occurring in FY 2017; the in-scope admissions represent the vast majority of all air and sea nonimmigrant admissions. Of this number, DHS calculated a total overstay rate of 1.33 percent, or 701,900 overstay events.

If the democrats can think of nearly impossible goals then who can stop anyone especially Trump if he can get a real honest to god force field wall in the future?
An energy barrier that requires no external power, fusion or zero point energy powers an AI barrier that can look transparent but can modify instantly to counter a threat.

That’s immoral! /s

Goodbye prototypes:

Farewell to our prototype friends - this year we are off to the races building barrier:

Someone else asked.. and I am interested in the answer..

Why is the primary wall 18ft (more easily climbable) and the secondary wall of 30ft? (which is further inland)

The logical result will be that the first one (supposedly in the border) could be breached, and the illegal crossers will be arrested between the two walls.

So what is the point of the second wall? Between the walls is already within USA territory and all they have to do is claim asylum. They are already here.. done deal.

Why not make the primary wall 30 ft?
