A first look at 8 possible versions of President Donald Trump's border wall

SAN DIEGO — Workers toiled in intense 95-degree heat here Tuesday, putting final touches on eight possible versions of President Donald Trump's long-promised border wall.
As an Oct. 26 deadline to finish the prototype border-wall designs drew near, The Arizona Republic toured the construction site a few dozen yards from the border that divides this city from neighboring Tijuana, Mexico.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded eight contracts to six companies, including two from Arizona, to build the prototypes. Four are made of reinforced concrete, and another four incorporate additional construction materials. Construction began on Sept. 26, giving companies 30 days to finish.
By Tuesday afternoon, when CBP allowed The Republic access to the site, five of the wall designs had already been completed and were fenced off with caution tape.
But crews were still at work on others, installing vertical concrete panels on one design, using cranes and bulldozers to place them upright. Another two prototypes were in various stages of construction.

It's the "look at America, but don't touch it" version. Eta but yeah why the solid top?
Eta2: I guess the solid top prevents climbing?

Fair enough.
Personally I like the first one, I just hope they replace the blue with continuous Stars and Stripes.

I don't see anything on any of them that prevent climbing. Just taller fences really.

Describe "probably not much" please. $20 billion pesos? $50 trillion pesos? And how effective of a return on the peso that Mexico is spending will it be?

They should plaster this headshot of Trump on the wall every mile. Facing the Mexico side of course
