The wall is see through, but if an agent moves to the right or the left to an acute enough angle, they are protected from would-be assaulters:pic.twitter.com/GvsX3JNm6T

The foundation is concrete reinforced with rebar. Per
@USBPChiefYUM it’s two feet thick and goes 10-12 feet down. The concrete-filled posts also go all the way to the bottom of the foundation. Motion detection systems alert border patrol if anyone attempts to cut through.pic.twitter.com/Yx8KziIU7eShow this thread -
I asked Border Patrol Chief
@USBPChief if the new wall works: “There’s no other single investment that we can make that lasts this long and has an immediate return on investment.”pic.twitter.com/KHKpjYM9QVShow this thread -

You do realize the majority of the border doesn’t even have the small fence. Some places it’s a guardrail. Some places it’s nothing.
