According to the article, a wide range of engineers and architects were allowed to construct multiple prototypes, and the creators of the selected wall design (after rigorous testing) will be rewarded a sizeable multi-thousand dollar bounty. The designs are currently being examined and tested by military personnel for ease of circumventing but so far nearly all attempts have failed. Pictured here are the various prototype walls.

Note the large lip on the top of the wall which prevents individuals from climbing over even with a grapple and the closest wall fitted with open slats to allow small wildlife through.

Choice quotes:

Recent assaults by tactical teams on prototypes of President Donald Trump's proposed wall with Mexico indicate their imposing heights should stop border crossers, a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the rigorous assessment told The Associated Press.

Military special forces based in Florida and U.S. Customs and Border Protection special units spent three weeks trying to breach and scale the eight models in San Diego, using jackhammers, saws, torches and other tools and climbing devices, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not authorized for public release.

Only once did a tester manage to land a hook on top of the wall without help, the official said. Tubes atop some models repelled climbing devices but wouldn't work in more mountainous areas because the terrain is too jagged.

Mexico has steadfastly rejected Trump's demand that it pay for the wall.

Ya know, when I first heard that the Wall was gonna be see-through I almost laughed at how dumb that sounded. But look at that. A see-through Wall that actually works
 
Actually seeing the proposed wall, I don't know how to feel.

On one hand, we have to get the illegal immigration problem under control if we're going to continue having a welfare system as generous as ours is.

On the other hand, walls can keep people in as well as out, to quote Ron Paul. And our government has been growing more authoritarian for as long as anyone can remember but especially after 9/11.

I don't like that this is necessary or is seen as necessary.

There is no realistic solution to this. They can dig pretty much as deeply as they need to. That's why this whole project is dumb.

People can just break down doors. What's the point of locking them when you leave the house?
 
The only way they can really test this thing is if they slather it in welfare money and fake social security cards.

It would have to be a YUGE hole, and they would have to not get caught.
