The Big Beautiful Wall was Defiled

[Fanatical Meat]

Someone cut a whole large enough to drive a truck thru then they drove 15 more trucks thru.

Smugglers cut a truck-sized hole to drive 16 through US-Mexico border wall, feds say

San Diego Sector Interim Chief Douglas Harrison said in a statement that the “breach of this old landing mat wall is illustrative of the need for more hardened infrastructure with greater impedance and denial capabilities to keep the area secure.”

People actually talk this way in real life?

Works better if you imagine it in RoboCop's voice.

Those with higher GS Pay Grades do. It's a job requirement. Don't want the peons (us) understanding them.

In before someone comes to say that wasn't Trump's new bigly wall that a 9 yr old girl scaled in under a minute.

What, somebody filed a hole in the wall? They probably could on the new one. Somebody needs to put together a list of all the ways the new wall can be penetrated.

From the way the fencing is bent outward, it could be taken as whoever did it was getting out of the USA rather than pushing their way in? IDK

You could easily fix this with a good guy with a grenade.

We spent all this time trying to prevent people from getting in... but we never thought about people getting out! The wall should block in both directions, not just one!

The article says they were immediately pursued and quickly apprehended, so maybe the wall made it easier to spot the point of ingress and dispatch border enforcers.

To be fair, that's old wall. I'm pretty sure they used a chain & the truck to bend it around like that. In the middle of the afternoon. Pure chutzpah.

So, it's kind of like a speed bump?

Or a funnel effect. I think 16 different vehicles would have simultaneously crossed at 16 different points if they could have; which would have made tracking and apprehension a lot more difficult.

That's no wall, that's a fence!

Maybe while border patrol was busy chasing down those 16 trucks, ISIS was sneaking through at some other point! D:

They were probably tunneling under the new wall.

The current "border wall" on the southern border, where it exists, is made up of a mishmash of barriers types along with electronic surveillance. According to the article they said the breach occurred at 3:45pm and they caught them at 4:00pm. That probably means they had electronic surveillance (e.g cameras, sensors, drones, etc.) watching. The “old landing mat border wall” referenced in the article is a barrier that was made of Vietnam helicopter landing pads. Enhancing the southern border barriers started back in the 90s. The government has been using anything they could get to build a barrier in the more vulnerable border crossing areas. Trump's perfect wall is not going to fix the anything. He was pandering to his base and satisfying his benefactors.
