Undaunted by Trump's wall, migrants vow to go over it

Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) - Eladio Sanchez is unimpressed by the eight border wall prototypes looming over his house in Tijuana, Mexico, almost within spitting distance of where US President Donald Trump will visit Tuesday.
At age 30, he has already snuck over the border several times, and doesn't expect Trump's wall will have much effect on undocumented migrants like him.
Pointing to the only prototype with an angular barrier at the top -- a concrete structure built by Texas Sterling Construction Company -- Sanchez says that one might slow him down a little more than the others.
But, he told AFP, "you can get over it anyway."

Sure they can probably get over it. Given enough time and a tall enough ladder.
It will take them longer and be much more difficult then stepping over a short broken down fence or walking through tall grass that hasn't been mowed.

I suggest high voltage deterrent at the top of the fence or perhaps something louder.

Mexico would tap it for power to pump water out of the Rio Grande.
