“There’s no one silver bullet, and we’ve done our best to try to explain that,”
Yeah there is, it's called a Free Fire Zone and after 4-5 bodies stack up in one area the people about to cross will think twice about it.
Hell, people pay $2,000 to helicopter hog hunt and you have to be put on a waiting list. A package like this will sell even better.

When fitted with specialized blades, the saws can slice through one of the barrier’s steel-and-concrete bollards in a matter of minutes
How many minutes? Big difference between 2 minutes and 20 minutes. How many pieces do you have to cut to be able to walk fat mexican women through? Wall slows invaders so border officers can do their job, not stops them cold.

This is the biggest part of the article. Saying "minutes" just means it takes over 120 seconds. As someone that works in the construction industry, it takes more than what common vernacular refers to as "minutes" to cut out portions of the wall. Especially if you are limited to 40v batteries, and even more so if you are limited to the 18-24v batteries that the article eludes to when stating "common household" reciprocating saw.
Admittedly I have not seen the border fence in person, but in photographs the "feet" going into the ground appear to be at least 4x4 in size. So although "minutes" is factual, it's not like someone is getting through it in 5 minutes on battery powered, 'household' tools.

Because a wall won't work if it isn't built by people who actually want to stop illegal invasion and that wall is still useless without laws. Put $100 bounties on all illegals to be paid when brought to deportation/holding centers. Fingerprint them, make them serve one year of hard labor in a hard labor camp then bus them to Mexico, all at Mexico's expense that will come out of their aid. Second offense is hanged by the fuckin neck until dead. Men like me know how to stop the bullshit but as long as there are (((politicians))) in control its all theater.

I hope they do more so we have even more reason to put our military at the border and open target practice

Why don’t we just copy the one we built Israel?
