Trump Sets Terms for Nice-Looking Wall Impervious to Pick Axes

President Donald Trump’s Mexican border wall must be at least 18 feet tall, resistant to sledgehammers and “aesthetically pleasing,” at least on the north-facing side, according to a request for contractors to bid to produce prototypes.
...
The designs -- one for a reinforced concrete structure and a second that can use other materials -- must be able to prevent people from climbing the wall unassisted, include features to prevent scaling via grappling hooks and other climbing aides, and prevent tunneling within 6 feet of the surface.

The wall must also be able to repel someone equipped with a “sledgehammer, car jack, pick axe, chisel, battery operated impact tools, battery operated cutting tools, Oxy/acetylene torch or other similar hand-held tools,” the government said in its order. The concrete wall should be strong enough to delay a breach 12 inches (30 centimeters) in diameter by at least an hour, the alternative wall for at least 30 minutes.

And in a Trumpian twist -- the New York property magnate did pledge a “big, beautiful wall” -- the north-facing side must be “aesthetically pleasing in color, anti-climb texture, etc., to be consistent with general surrounding environment.”

The American-facing side will be beautiful and glorious. The other side could look like the inside of prison for all anyone cares.

This is idiotic but I'm not surprised. How are you "small government" types cool with billions of tax dollars being spent on something that will be no more than a nuisance to anyone trying to cross the border?

Simple math, 1 time 30 billion dollar expense vs. a 90 billion per year expense.

It's adorable that the liberals want open borders for anyone who wants in.

Who has advocated for that, specifically?

The real question is whether or not you're capable of not misrepresenting every argument you encounter.

Your memory sucks. Obama let open the borders like floodgates.

That's probably why he was called the "deporter in chief" by critics within the immigrants rights community.

That's cool though, no one expects you to be reasonable, rationale or right . Your history preceeds you.
