U.S. Customs and Border Patrol announces the first four, of an anticipated eight, border wall prototypes. The first four contracts to build the prototypes are worth $400 to $500 thousand each and are targeted toward “concrete and reinforced concrete” prototypes.
The CBP authorization letters are anticipated to be delivered to the contractors within a couple of weeks, and the companies will have 30 days to build their prototype.
.
The second set of prototype contracts will surround “alternative material” concepts. USCBP anticipates awarding four of those in a similar fashion. Each segment of prototype is thirty feet wide and thirty feet high (30′ x 30′), and will be the backdrop of a 150 foot wide border enforcement zone.
The eight border wall prototypes will be built in the San Diego border region and will be evaluated by USCBP officials after completion. It is possible that more than one contract will win the border wall award as there are multiple differing geographies, terrain and topographies where the Southern Security Border Wall is being constructed. Parts of the border may be concrete and other parts may be alternative material.
As described, the current “bollard style” border fence will remain, and various additional segments will continue to be built. The contracts for the new border wall will be placed 150′ behind the immediate border fence, and the distance between the two physical structures will be the “enforcement zone”.
The beginning of the prototype builds is anticipated within a couple of weeks.
Awesome winning! Build that wall! God bless President Trump!

AIUI, the “immediate” border wall is the same barrier that is now standing (B in the drawing). The 30′ high prototypes are for the “secondary” wall to be built inside the 150′ buffer zone. In the diagram that’s marked E. Looks like the existing primary wall is not as high, maybe 15′, whereas the inner wall will be 30′ high.
In any case your comment stands, it won’t be easy for anyone to get over, under or around 2 ample barriers separated by that “electronically monitored zone”. I agree it’s exciting to see the prototypes that will be constructed! And it looks like we should be seeing them pretty quickly.

If memory serves me right, I remember the owner of an engineering firm (out of So. CA), who spoke to Tucker Carlson (I think… it’s been a while). The artistic rendition of the prototype he had designed was amazing, covering a number of contingencies such as burrowing under the wall, the material to be used prevented invaders from adhering to its surface and its diagonal tilt also served as a deterrent.
Lacking in engineering skills or training, I cannot vouch for the viability of his plan but it was impressive. The city in which his company is based, as a result of his participation, was going to blackball him from any of their future construction projects… guess he hit a nerve.

I have no idea what the final prototype will look like. Having said that, steel fences require maintenance. Concrete will last 100+ years with little to no maintenance.
The Liberals would have to actively tear down a concrete border fortress, and if you construct it right that would be extremely difficult, costly, and still possibly near impossible to destroy.
Some German concrete fortifications still exist today, because they were impossible to destroy. Most of the German bunkers built for Wolf’s Lair in East Prussia are still in nearly perfect condition. Steel reinforcement and 6 foot thick cement walls… built to last.

Stationary guard posts would also be vulnerable. Nice, big fat targets. And people have to get in and out of them to work. Targets.
But I know President Trump is no dummy. I can sense a lot of surprises coming about the wall that most people cannot even imagine.
Like maybe using satellites to do live surveillance of the border area with both visual and infrared.
And instead of guard towers, armed drones and/or armored vehicles, sent out once the satellites detect a problem in the no man’s land between the two walls.
I am sure all scenarios have been considered, and solutions worked out.
The amount of technology that will go into the wall, the operation of the border zone, and its defense will drop people’s jaws.

Signature campaign promise. Presidential honor at stake. Therefore the enemies will do their utmost to prevent it from happening. The President may be a political outsider, but is an elite, massively experienced builder of imposing structures. His field of expertise. When due diligence is done the wall will inexorably begin to take shape. And it will stand as a testament to this era of history.
Decades from now new generations will see it as both a symbol and practical structure that redefined the course of American History. The Trump profile may not grace Mt. Rushmore, but the wall be be an enduring historical monument.

President Trump’s honor is safe.
We know he means what he says, and he stands with the American people.
It is the honor of Congress that is at stake.
Will they stand with the American people, or with foreign invaders?
If they decide they will stand against President Trump and the American people, we have to make sure they pay a heavy price for it.
Primary out every single Rino, and as many Dims as possible.

Before I setttle in and enjoy myself I just want to say this is my new favorite site. I’m off news, need a hobby, and Sundance keeps finding us all these great videos to watch to kick back and enjoy the Trump revolution.
–Breitbart and Drudge are letting me down, they’re not giving us content to enjoy and sometimes their motives seem off. Other fun sites like Ace of Spades are in a sort of angry place right now which I don’t want to effect me.
–This site and Scott Adams videos have the most calming effect on me.
–If all Conservative sites were doing what this site and the Scott Adams videos are doing we’d get results a lot faster.
–I’ll probably share this site’s links a lot more like I used to during the election.

So you cannot use the cost of the prototype to estimate the cost of the entire project.

Always remember folks, when building there is always a back door or a hidden exit\entrance, those paying for the construction ALWAYS have the ability to have that hidden thing.
This wall is more then what it seems…NEVER think that the devil sleeps, the devil is always plotting, always planning, always puzzling, scheming. This wall is not what it seems. This wall is a way for our government to control what come in and goes out…including drugs, munitions, humans and all manner of “commodities both illegal and legal.
The government is going to corner the illegal “commodities” markets in the US with this wall. The wall is the apparatus that will allow those in government to control EVERYTHING coming and going into our country in the south, including drugs, humans, arms etc…
Think about it folks…the people who control the wall will also control the southern black market…the wall will have passage (unknown to common folks…that’s you and me) that drugs and other illegal “commodities” will pass through, the deep state will use the funds from these “commodities” to continue to finance illegal wars, coups, and intrigue etc…!
Right now, the illegal “commodities” market that the Southern border operates in is uncontrollable, all of the illegal “commodities” pass through the border without TAX, US Government TAX.
The wall is going to be used to control and TAX the illegal “commodities” market, not to STOP it.
You see…certain Mexican cartels will be sanctioned to pass “commodities” through the wall. Those that control the wall (US Government and financiers) will have the sanction power, the power to control and tax everything that passes through the wall!
When Trump said Mexico will pay for the wall he is not lying, certain Mexican cartels will help fund the wall, since by funding the wall they will also gain the power to pass their illegal “commodities” through it, those cartels that help finance the wall will also then control other cartels that need that access!!!
Watch the Godfather, pay attention when Sollozzo asks Don Corleone for finance money and protection to start his drug business.

God’s Promise and Warning
2 Chronicles 11-22
Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

WR I am a Christian and understand the Bible. Did God ever give people a reprieve from impending doom? If many of His people who were faithful to Him came together and prayed for deliverance has He ever done so? Is it in His character to do such a thing?
Yes I agree there will be judgment to come but we don’t now the specific time it will happen but that does not totally mitigate the fact that God has done all of the above and is capable of doing it now. It is in His nature to do so and I believe this is one of them. Now to the extent it will last is up to Him. He props up nations or tears them down but as was stated this is one case where I see/hope His providential grace interceding on our behalf. Peace to you.

We were literally right there 2 weeks ago looking for the prototype area. We could find it and asked CHiPs and Border Patrol where the prototypes were. They didn’t know where they will be at the time.
But we were told that the majority of illegals coming across are from Africa, Asia, S America and the Middle East. Not many Mexicans coming across that area anymore. We saw patched holes in the Iron Mesh fence where illegals jump the shorter fence and cut an opening in the taller fence and crawl thru. Border patrol cars were lined up and down patrolling.
We won’t be going back to San Diego so won’t see the prototypes but maybe someone on here could post updates for us 🙂 Please!
