Trump's "beautiful" Steel Slat Barrier for Mexican border lampooned by designers

[nat4900]

A wall/fence mean s less people needed and much safer.

Hey, now THAT's a great slogan for Trump.......

"Build my ******* wall and lets get rid of these border agents....I promise you, Mexico will hire them; after all I am the greatest deal-maker who ever lived....".........LOL

This is what the CBP has been asking for.........it also shows the information in the last video on new border walls.

Written testimony of CBP for a House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security hearing titled “Immigration and Customs Enforcement & Customs and Border Protection FY18 Budget Request”

The FY 2018 Budget provides $1.6 billion for 32 miles of new border wall system and 28 miles of new levee wall in Rio Grande Valley Sector, as well as 14 miles of secondary border wall system in San Diego Sector. Tactical infrastructure, including physical barriers, has long been a critical component of CBP’s multi-layered and risk-based approach to securing our Southern border. It is undeniable that border barriers have enhanced – and will continue to enhance – CBP’s operational capabilities by creating persistent impedance, and facilitating the deterrence and prevention of successful illegal entries. CBP plans to deploy border wall system in a multi-phased approach that meets USBP’s operational requirements, safeguards national security and public safety, and is the result of thorough analysis of threat, cost, and mission effectiveness.

CBP operates and maintains a tactical radio inventory of more than 70,000 units, utilized by CBP’s frontline law enforcement personnel. More than 25,000 units of CBP’s radio inventory have exceeded their useful life and are no longer supported by the manufacturer. The FY 2018 Budget seeks $29.3 million to purchase the equipment for USBP and AMO Tactical Air Land and Marine Enterprise Communications (TALMEC), including the acquisition of modern and secure radio and satellite communication technology that will provide communication reliability and security for CBP frontline law enforcement and flexibility for agents and officers to communicate with state and local law enforcement agencies as well as Mexican authorities.

The FY 2018 Budget includes $60.3 million to provide for the acquisition of vehicles. CBP’s vehicle lifecycle management process4 is especially important as vehicles become older and less reliable, while mission demands continue. Reductions in vehicle performance and/or reliability may place an undue burden on law enforcement personnel executing mission requirements. These investments, to include recapitalizing aging radios and vehicles, will enable agents to respond to and resolve incidents and incursions more efficiently, effectively and safely.

CBP’s Tactical Aerostats and Re-locatable Towers Program, originally part of the Department of Defense (DOD) Re-use program, uses a mix of aerostats, towers, cameras, and radars to provide USBP with advanced surveillance capabilities over a wide area. This technology has proven to be a vital asset in increasing CBP’s ability to detect, identify, classify, and track illegal activity. Furthermore, since initial deployment, these systems have been responsible for the detection of more than 180,000 illegal border incursions of aliens and smugglers, leading to the seizure of approximately 180 tons of narcotics and related contraband headed towards our Nation’s cities and neighborhoods. As of April 2017, USBP agents, with the assistance of existing aerostats and re-locatable towers, have seized 62 tons of narcotics, and caught more than 20,000 illegal border crossers detected in aerostat locations during FY 2017. The FY 2018 Budget includes $34.8 million in FY 2018 for the Tactical Aerostats and Re-locatable Towers Program to fund continued operations and maintenance costs.

'US president Donald Trump has tweeted details of the design for the proposed $5 billion wall along the Mexican border, prompting ridicule from designers.


Trump posted a graphic of the barrier on 21 December 2018, along with the words: "A design of our Steel Slat Barrier which is totally effective while at the same time beautiful!"

In response, designers pointed out that the barrier is "technically not a wall" and that if to scale, it would be over 12 metres high and the gaps between the slats would be wide enough for people to squeeze through.

The image in Trump's tweet showed a row of tall columns with gaps between them and pointed tops. A car, identified by some as a Chevrolet Tahoe, featured in the drawing to illustrate the scale.

"Not to be a curmudgeon but technically this is not a wall," responded architect Cameron Sinclair, former head of social innovation at Airbnb.

Last week the US senate refused to fund the construction of the barrier, which Trump had previously stated he would force Mexico to pay for. In response, Trump ordered the partial shutdown of the government.

Wall design picked apart on Twitter

Alex Bozikovic, architecture critic at Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, described the design as "unfathomably stupid".

"What kind of foundations would this thing require?" he asked. "How many tons of concrete to keep each 'slat' vertical?"

PhD student Reyna Knight was one of several people who calculated the dimensions of the barrier by using the known measurements of the car.

"So if it's to scale, the slats are 190 millimetres (7.5 inches) with 316-millimetre (12.4-inch) spaces," she calculated, meaning people could slip between the gaps. "So just slide through sideways!" she wrote.

Retired police officer Mark West worked out the barrier would be 40 feet (12.2 metres) tall.

"There'd be a pretty high wind load on that thing," said architect Mark Hogan in response.'

How about you read what the CBP is saying and pony the **** up...........

Radios.......so they can talk to each other..........tactical vehicles so they can see the illegals in open deserts........and towers for communication and high tech surviellance.

Read between the lines............The report I just posted is they need VEHICLES.........their's are old and WORN OUT...........they did it in a politically correct way that or shit is getting old and it's hard to keep them running...........

I'll add the 2300 Humvees , 40 M!A1 tanks we gave to Iraq........for billions of dollars and their forces RAN AWAY and handed them to ISIS............but we can't fund newer vehicles with better tech to do their job.........

Perhaps we should have given those $70,000 Humvees to the Border Patrol than Iraq.

 

[deanrd]

I think the most hilarious thing is that Republicans are saying the points on top are what make it "hi tech" and difficult to go over.

I think I'll listen to the people doing the job who say they work and are very happy they are getting more funding even though it's not enough........

Perhaps you can give them newer vehicles so they can patrol and a radio............they'd appreciate it.

Lmao the dopes are analyzing a drawing not a blue print lol fcking dopes

Looks like Nancy Poloci’s dildo. Just not quite a big, and without the razor wire.

The wall could be there 365 days a year, 24 hours a day stopping illegals from crossing the border.

What are the dems preferred options?
drones- needs ground troops to actually catch the illegals, drones only can fly 15 minutes at a time and cover minimal ground, and would need thousands of operators to cover the length of wall needed.
satellites- needs ground troops to actually catch the illegals, covers minimal ground, and would have operational costs

Crossing over the wall would be like jumping out of a 3rd floor window!!
So bring your ******* ladder, and break your back, or back and legs, or back and ankles...

Ever heard of a rope? Just tie it to the wall, a secured ladder or a pole secured to the ground.

Plus, what is to stop someone cutting their way through with any number of pieces of equipment?

My problem with this wall is that there is no way it will keep out almost any illegal aliens...no chance.

The ONLY way to make sure virtually NO aliens get through is an Israeli-style wall with towers to watch every foot of it. PLUS, the underground must be constantly listened to with sound devices for tunnels.

And I shudder to think what that would cost.


The FAR simpler way is just to make the punishment for those who are caught hiring illegals far, FAR higher then it currently is. But Trump seldom - if ever - mentions that.
He just keeps chirping on about this silly wall of his which I guarantee you will not keep determined illegals out.

Your problem with the wall is that you know it will work. However, I do agree with you that the Israeli style wall is what you need. The idea that Israel can afford it but we can't is beyond absurd.

Their wall is 99.9% effective, just like birth control pills [emoji381]. Ok.....now I understand why the dims are against it.

Just the News of the wall is effecting the price of drugs. Mexican paper reports that the gangs that were doing the heroine trade are not getting good prices and have started to gold mind and cut trees. So Mexico is flooded with Heroine they can't get it across the border very easily.

FYI-
Most heroine comes in through legal border crossings, hidden in cars or in cargo on trucks, and by Air in the form of Opiods, through China and the US Mail system and at legal entry crossing from Canada, or in to our Ports.

NOT by crossing in the middle of a gigantic dessert, in the middle of nowhere land....


Would a border wall have prevented the opioid epidemic?


The report notes that the most common method employed by Mexican traffickers "involves transporting illicit drugs through U.S. ports of entry (POEs) in passenger vehicles with concealed compartments or commingled with legitimate goods on tractor trailers."

Advanced scanners are needed at POE's.............they detect that and arms..............but they are aging and not up to date...........

Guess the CBP should just do more with less...........in regards to scanning all mail cargo............that is a very expensive problem to scan all of it........very expensive.

It is "affecting" not effecting. The word is "heroin", not "heroine". I assume you meant "mine" instead of "mind".

A big wall, a big beautiful wall

Walls are a barrier..........a tool...........no wall without manpower behind it will stop the illegals..........it makes it harder to get across.

Walls are made to get around them, over them, under them, through them
