>The push to seal the U.S.-Mexico border moved ahead as federal authorities published two official requests for contractors to propose prototype segments of a border wall, posted Friday night to the Federal Business Opportunities website.
>The specifications include:
>A "physically imposing" height of no less than 18 feet but preferably 30 feet tall.
>Anti-climbing mechanisms, either by ladder or other tools like hooks that humans may be able to get across.
>Prevent tunneling 6 feet below ground.
>For breaches to the wall (using building or cutting tools, or torches) to take at least one hour in concrete designs, and 30 minutes in the "other" designs.
>Be able to accommodate "pedestrian and automated mechanized vehicle sliding gates."
So /sci/, how would you engineer an unclimbable wall?
>build wall that extends into bedrock
>coat the sides with teflon and razor wire
>place seismic sensors near the bottom to detect people digging

Loses to a ladder.
This should be the shape. No hooks/ladders
>>8762841
>put ladder against wall
>slips down as soon as you put weight on it
>fall into razor wire
That's what the tefflon was for.
>>8762846
Better yet, close it
>>8762846
you could make a really big ladder and get over
>>8763027
you could build a rocketship too.
>>8762816
Could have just made a canal, you could get your money back that way with fare tolls for shipping Pacific-Atlantic route.
>>8763029
>cut big trench
>Mexico float away
>???????
>profit
>>8763029
Digging canales are kind of more indepth than you think, chump.
Mines.
>>8763513
Nice pun
>>8763518
This
There will be some number of illegal-crossing attempts and undoubtedly they will be successful.
The answer is to shoot enough of them that it set's an example and acts as a deterrent
>Cut down Science funds
>Waste money building a useless wall
>>8763549
Got to please Rural America
>>8763028
Not addressed by the specifications.
>>8763513
I'll admit I chuckled.
The cost of the wall is variously estimated, but I see a reasonable one that says it would cost around $21 billion. The population of Mexico is around 122.3 million, rough;ly half of those are in poverty and thus the most likely to immigrate illegally.
So for the same money we could just give every poor person in Mexico $340 to stay home, which is a lot of money in a third world poverty festival like Mexico.
Then just enforce existing immigration laws.
>>8763549
walls are actually very effective. see israel, china, east/west germany, and of course mexico's southern border.
>>8763596
Kek then why is he cutting their social programs
Rural america btfo
>>8763625
>let's emulate a bunch of repressive regimes
>>8763722
They are so cucked that they will cheer as Trump gives them a golden shower
>>8763625
>The berlin wall was effective.
Retard.
>>8762816
monorail on top of the wall
a metric fuckton of solar panels
This "green factor" would make it a lot more difficult for democrats to tear down Trump's wall the moment he leaves office.
The wall is endangered more by the democrats than by Mexicans/Central Americans
>>8763726
Isn't that the point, though?
>>8762816
>unclimbable wall
h=0
>>8763731
It was.
>>8763722
They value getting their neighbors' programs cut more than getting more for themselves. Also many American Christians view taking welfare and not being employed as sinful, view wealth as being indicative of God's favor, and basically view the state as idolatrous.
>>8763731
Alas anon will feel the shame upon his name forever, for the Berlin wall twas effective.
