Steel prototype for border wall cut through with saw, photo shows

DHS testing of a steel slat prototype proved it could be cut through.

A photo exclusively obtained by NBC News shows the results of the test after military and Border Patrol personnel were instructed to attempt to destroy the barriers with common tools.

POLL: If you were walked through the desert for 3 days, would a 30 ft wall stop you?

Could you get through it all by yourself?

Unless somebody had a ladder/rope there I'd have to turn back. I couldn't free climb a 30 ft wall

Plus walls create pinch points where they can focus more efforts.

Maybe the wall would prevent the desert walk in the first place?

Those that can't climb, how long would it take to build a sand mound next to it?

I wonder how fast someone who knew how to weld could cut through a steel fence?

A plasma cutter would be the tool you would want to cut steel quickly....

Are they going to install power, cameras, motion sensors and drones?

They already have those things in places....

The desert is an effective barrier to the US.
