Though reporters on Monday questioned whether the bollard wall was the one Trump had envisioned, Hull said it was “accurately described as a wall because it’s a very serious structure.”
Hull said the wall would be 18 feet, including a 5-foot anti-climbing plate at the top. He added that it would consist of concrete filled with rebar. It delves 6 feet into the ground with an additional 2 feet of concrete positioned below.
“It’s very much a wall,” Hull told one reporter, “and we’re going to use it to stop illegal entries.”

This is great news!
We are slowly squeezing the swamp…
The wall will be the beginning of the end of the nwo 105 years of illegal, immoral, and unethical activity against America…
And all the players on the evil side of the ledger will find no place to “roam” once the vile swamp is GONE!

I hope the illegals don’t intentionally lose weight so they can slip through the bars!!!
Conversely, I hope the bars are very close together!!!

And the Mexican govt is really not serious with any kind of help to stop the invasion of the barbarians, at the door!
These people who have continued to slip through the “cracks,” so to speak…
While O was in the Office…
America should finally see just who is responsible for the political fiasco that has been allowed to fill the swamp…!

It’s to short! Needs to be 18 feet higher, with total Ht. of 36ft, they don’t like it when it’s high, that wall pictured will be a problem to us later. We need to find out if these pictures are the real thing, to me it doesn’t look like a wall.

It’s good to see a start, but 20 miles of wall is just a drop in the bucket. The whole things needs to be funded NOW.
