The last two of eight prototypes for President Donald Trump's proposed border wall took shape Thursday at a construction site in San Diego.
The prototypes, including one built by Israeli defense firm Elta, form a tightly packed row of imposing concrete and metal panels, including one with sharp metal edges on top.
[...] The models, which cost the government up to $500,000 each, were spaced 30 feet (9.1 meters) apart. Slopes, thickness and curves vary. One has two shades of blue with white trim. The others are gray, tan or brown — in sync with the desert.
Bidding guidelines call for the prototypes to stand between 18 and 30 feet (5.5 and 9.1 meters) high and be able to withstand at least an hour of punishment from a sledgehammer, pickaxe, torch, chisel or battery-operated tools.
Features also should prevent the use of climbing aids such as grappling hooks, and the segments must be "aesthetically pleasing" when viewed from the US side.

You keep using such phrases without backing them up with actual evidence.

The evidence is the publicly stated policies of the Democratic party. I can't force someone who's willing to gouge their own eyes out rather than admit the truth to see though.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Donald Trump has a position paper [donaldjtrump.com] on the topic. I didn't check carefully but it looks like it's the same one that was there before the election.

Let me handle that.
Voting when you aren't registered to is a felony.
If it was the slightest bit true, the prisons would be full of those folks and Buzzard could give us a long list--instead of zip, the way he did.
...and when you hear about this stuff, it's always Republicans who are the offenders.
