The Trump administrations proposed border wall is intended to curb illegal immigration and keep Americans safe from dangers on the other side, but under scrutiny and testing the wall prototypes may have failed in that aim, according to a report released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Tuesday.
Tactical teams, including experts from CBP, U.S. Special Operations Command and the Marine Corps Special Operations Command, tested the eight prototypes in Otay Mesa for breaching, scaling, aesthetics, constructability and design.
