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 -
