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.
