The bollards that many us of were wondering about apparently will be sufficient -- 30 feet tall is adequate. Though the wall is still not fully funded, nor complete, I think he needs to be given some credit on this. He used a marker to sign the wall -- I love it!!
Trump visits border barriers near San Diego: 'This wall can't be climbed'President Trump touted the effectiveness of newly-constructed barriers as he toured the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego on Wednesday, insisting, “This wall can’t be climbed.â€
“It’s a very powerful -- very powerful – wall,†the president, accompanied by border officials, said as he toured the Otay Mesa area.
Last month,
the administration completed 14 miles of steel bollards up to 30 feet high. The $147 million project replaced a much shorter fence made of surplus airstrip landing mats from the Vietnam War.
The president said it’s in one of the “most dangerous areas,†and they’ve built a “double wall†– one barrier was 18 feet, and the other was 30 feet. Before leaving, Trump used a marker to sign the wall.
He also talked up how the barrier was designed to retain heat as a deterrent. “You can fry an egg on that wall,†he said.
At the same site last year, Trump saw wall prototypes, which were destroyed to make way for 14 miles of steel bollards currently under construction.
The president and his administration have said they planned on building between 450 and 500 miles of fencing along the nearly 2,000-mile border by the end of 2020, an ambitious undertaking funded by billions of defense dollars that had been earmarked for things such as military base schools, target ranges and maintenance facilities..............
