DHS Selects 4 Contractors To Build Prototypes For Trump's Border Wall | Zero Hedge

I think this is my favorite:

DESIGN Penna Group’s proposal is for a double wire mesh fence that has a sheet of plexiglass lined with a one-way mirror allowing border patrol agents to see the Mexico side, but not the reverse. The fence would be 30 feet tall with a 6-foot footing, and both would be designed to sustain tampering by pickaxes, hammers, hand-tools, and torches for over an hour and a half. The double-lined, double-wire mesh design is often used in maximum-security prisons.

Plexiglass won't last long in the sun and heat. It will dry out and get brittle.

They all look ugly so cheapest works for me. We are paying for this no matter how much President Trump says we aren't.

If he imposes tariffs on Mexican imports that will impact all of cost of goods. It has been showing historically that tariffs on imported goods eventually raises the cost of ALL goods even ones produced domestically.

So we will pay -- one way or another -- we pay -- so let's go for cheapest.
