What is the US-Mexico border wall of US President Trump?

Just when a real estate company was going to build a model house, Trump's "high-top" border wall was finally unveiled, revealing the true face of Lushan Mountain.

On June 65438+1October 1 1 local time in the United States, the San Diego Branch of the US Customs and Border Protection released four photos of the prototype of the border wall on Twitter, saying that these prototype walls were "formed or nearly completed".

After Trump took office, he successively proposed various border wall construction schemes, from including "perspective components" to facilitate the border patrol to understand the situation on the Mexican side, to providing "sliding doors" to allow vehicles and pedestrians to pass legally.

Judging from the effect of the prototype wall, these functional requirements can be said to have been met except Trump's "beauty" and "beauty". Trump once talked about adding solar panels to the wall, but later dismissed the idea.

Of course, as a barrier to prevent illegal immigrants and criminals from crossing the US-Mexico border to engage in illegal activities, the rigid requirements of the border wall as a "wall" are naturally unambiguous:

The border wall is about 30 feet (about 9 meters) high, with a minimum height of 18 feet (about 5.5 meters), and is made of concrete or "alternative materials";

Including anti-climbing devices, strong enough to withstand the damage of chisels, pickaxes, sledgehammers or other similar hand-held tools;

The wall should be at least 6 feet below the ground (about1.8m) to prevent illegal entry through the tunnel.

The height and firmness of the border wall can be seen by taking the construction workers and border mounted police on the side as reference objects. When the border wall is built, the spectacle of Mexican immigrants playing volleyball through the old border fence will probably become history.

According to Trump's plan, the completed border wall will extend from San Diego, California to Brownsville, Texas. The estimated construction length is about 1.600 km. However, Trump himself often repeats specific figures. In his last statement on CNN, he said that the final length would be between 1 100 and 1400 kilometers. These border walls complement the existing border fence and cover about 3,200 kilometers of the US-Mexico border.

Trump himself estimated that the construction cost of the border wall was $6,543.8+$0.2 billion; Congress and Republicans have indicated that the cost of the Trump border wall will be $6,543.8+$0.2 billion-$6,543.8+$0.5 billion. However, an internal report of the Department of Homeland Security estimates that the cost of the wall covering the entire US-Mexico border is about 2 1 100 million US dollars.

Although there are still different opinions on the cost of the border wall, on July 27, the House of Representatives approved the upfront expenditure of 654.38+06 billion US dollars for the construction of the border wall. It has been nearly nine months since the executive order was signed on June 25, 65438, announcing that the construction of the separation wall on the border between the United States and Mexico will begin in a few months. Now, the prototype wall "we have called and urged it a thousand times before she started coming to us" has passed.
