Border Wall Prototypes, Cost and Length of Proposed Wall.

[JimBowie1958]

Just some actual facts to give a context to the Schumer Shutdown ths week.

Border Wall Models Thwart US Commandos In Tests

The administration has insisted wall funding be part of any immigration deal but Trump has been unclear about how long the wall would be and how it should be designed. The administration has asked for $1.6 billion this year to build or replace 74 miles (118.4 kilometers) of barriers in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley and San Diego and plans to request another $1.6 billion next year.

A proposal by Customs and Border Protection calls for spending $18 billion over 10 years to extend barriers to cover nearly half the border, though it is unclear if Trump supports that plan. The agency proposes 316 miles (505 kilometers) of additional barrier by September 2027, bringing total coverage to 970 miles (1,552 kilometers). It also seeks 407 miles (651 kilometers) of replacement or secondary fencing.

Mexico has steadfastly rejected Trump’s demand that it pay for the wall.....

Ronald Vitiello, the agency’s acting deputy commissioner, said after visiting the prototypes in October that he was struck most by the 30-foot (9.1-meter) heights, which are significantly higher than existing barriers. Taller barriers are undoubtedly more effective, but whether the cost is justified will be up for debate.

The highly trained testers scaled 16 to 20 feet (4.9 to 6.1 meters) unassisted but needed help after that, said the official who described the assaults on the wall prototypes to the AP. Testers also expressed safety concerns about getting down from 30 feet.

Only once did a tester manage to land a hook on top of the wall without help, the official said. Tubes atop some models repelled climbing devices but wouldn’t work in more mountainous areas because the terrain is too jagged.

The report favors steel at ground level because agents can see what is happening on the other side and holes can more easily be patched, the official said. With concrete, large slabs have to be replaced for even small breaches, which is time-consuming and expensive. Topping the steel with smooth concrete surfaces helps prevent climbing.
​

As we all know, Mexico will pay for the wall, one way or another.

But Chuck You Schumer is holding up pay for our military members and their families and welfare assistance to children that depend on it like CHIPs in order to stop 74 miles of replacement wall.

Chuck Schumer to legal American families: FUCK YOU! I WANT MY GRAFT PAID ON TIME!

I say post close-up pictures of Hillary Clinton all along the border to prevent illegal entry into our country.

You know, if they were to paint pretty flowers, and green plants on the walls, they would sell better.

Where are the land mines and automated machine guns?

And razor wire...how can you have a border without razor wire?

Just what we need something that will kill the dogs and cats so PETA, SPCA and the humane society can go berserk. Rock salt and pepper spray will not create martyrs but will spread the word. That's why our main infantry rifle is a .22. wounding an enemy takes out four, killing an enemy takes out one.
