Walls are no good. US commandos can't beat it, but everyday illegal can??

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Recent assaults by tactical teams on prototypes of President Donald Trump’s proposed wall with Mexico indicate their imposing heights should stop border crossers, a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the rigorous assessment told The Associated Press.
Military special forces based in Florida and U.S. Customs and Border Protection special units spent three weeks trying to breach and scale the eight models in San Diego, using jackhammers, saws, torches and other tools and climbing devices, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not authorized for public release.
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
Vitiello said in October that the testing could last up to two months and lead to officials to conclude that elements of several designs should be merged to create effective walls, raising the possibility of no winner or winners.
1- See that's how you do it. not a one winner and the best design... but the best in each combined.
2- LMAO at walls not being effective!
Add some of these

Any illegals that get past the wall should be immediately conscripted into our military.

i'd like them to allow an artist to spray paint all kinds of awesome american things on it, so they can see all the fun they're missing out on.

IDK know why libs are so opposed to the wall. It won't work. Seems like an easy concession for libs with no consequence.

I can’t wait to take my son to the border to visit the 9th wonder of the world and tell him with pride that his paw cast a vote to make this happen.

Haven’t you heard?
It’s a fence now
With smart security cameras (kinda like smart cellphones/tv’s)
In some areas there isn’t even fence! Just a false sense of security for the unsuspecting illegal, only to be bulldogged by one of the Steiner brothers or any other retired WWF/WWE wrestler from the 80’s
MAGA

Even better, check out the new border patrol mounts.

We could take all the pit bulls people shouldn’t have as pets and let them run loose between two staggered walls.

I would love for someone to explain to me how you get kids, women, fat people, out of shape people, older people or needed transit supplies by rope over a sheer wall.
They ain’t going over it. There will have to be organized efforts to go under it. Stop tunnels and a wall stops illegal immigration.

Nice gif but that’s not a sheer wall.
