Eight prototypes of Trump’s Mexican border wall unveiled in California
The concrete and steel structures, erected in a remote area in San Diego, will be tested for 30 to 60 days to determine which design meets the needs to secure the border, US Customs and Border Patrol Protection said in a statement.
Authorities said that in considering the mockups – built by six companies from across the United States – they will evaluate a number of characteristics including anti-breaching, anti-climbing and anti-digging capabilities.

The models were erected in the wake of Trump’s January 25 executive order instructing the Department of Homeland Security to build a wall along the nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico.
According to some estimates, the wall could cost as much as $20 billion and Congress has so far been reluctant to dedicate funding for the barrier.
Mexico has also balked at Trump’s demands that it pay for the wall.
Mexico could build a pretty good fence with the hemp left over once they remove the leaves and buds.
Pennies when it comes to our government spending.
The wall will be used to keep tax paying citizens from leaving Trumplandia.
I'm partial to the third "wall" prototype on the top row. You have far more flexibility decorating with a neutral color and it's dark enough to hide any imperfections and flaws.
I'm going to start a fashion line of "cross the boarder" clothing to blend into the wall. I'll also have a selection in different foliage or flowers or tumbleweed patterns and designs (depending on the crossing location) . This will give boarder crosser's a choice in whether they want to be part of the wall or part of the scenery and landscape surrounding the wall.
They're all way too short. They need to be at least ... 3 times that long or they'll just walk around.
True - but it's what we can afford. If we do 3x larger then we'll end up adding to the deficit.
We will be dumping it on the deficit regardless, what we can't afford is waste period. Mexico will pay 100% , another of the blow hards irrefutable lies. Don't forget that the Berlin wall wasn't there to keep the west Berliners out!
