Officials have begun testing how easily someone can climb over the border wall prototypes near the Otay Mesa port of entry, progressing to the next phase of a process that may make President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful wall” a reality.

Testing will include whether and how quickly someone could go over the top of, under and through the walls.

Both anti-climb and anti-dig testing will happen at the prototype site in Otay Mesa, according to CBP officials. Anti-breach testing will happen with smaller versions of the walls at an undisclosed, secure site in San Diego.

“This phase is not structured as pass/fail but rather the results will provide CBP leadership the best attributes among the constructed designs for inclusion in future border wall design specifications,” said an official from Customs and Border Protection.

Officials expect to finish testing by mid-December, according to CBP.

Yet there are some people here who still believe this isn’t happening.

Humans have been building walls for millennia. Seems like we should be able to build one by now without having to test for “anti-climbing” effectiveness.

Weird, I’m a bit disappointed. I looked all through your post for details about how Marco planned to test climb the wall. Couldn’t find anything.

Do you want the best wall possible or simply a wall?

They have several prototypes with different materials. If you don’t understand that differences in things cause one product to be better suited than the other, and wanting to get something useful out of the money spent then I can’t help you
