Potential border crossers who encounter a new steel prototype of President Trump's wall may be able to ditch their shovels as long as they have a good circular saw.
The new wall prototype consisting of steel bollards didn't hold up when members of the military and border police went at it with 'common' tools as part of a test.
Those test results have already been revealed, but NBC news published photo evidence that showed just how effective the tools were in slicing through it.
President Donald Trump responded saying that every wall can be penetrated in some fashion – although during the campaign he called for construction of an impenetrable wall.
'There's nothing that can't be penetrated, but you can fix it,' Trump said when asked about the test where a steel barrier was able to be cut through by common tools
'There's nothing that can't be penetrated, but you can fix it. It's a very difficult thing to do, But that's a wall, and they have other walls. We have many walls under consideration,' he said, when asked about it by DailyMail.com on his way to visit the border Thursday.
'Even concrete, there's acid that can eat through concrete,' he said.
The newly-revealed image shows a large gap cut into the wall – and reveals a way potential entrants could make way for movement of either people or smuggled goods even if congressional Democrats did give in to Trump's demand for $5.7 billion for wall construction in order to reopen shuttered parts of the government.
CUT TO THE CHASE: An image obtained by NBC News reveals the results of a test where security personnel tried to use common tools to penetrate a steel bollard border wall that President Trump wants to build
Trump has recently moved away from his call for a reinforced concrete border wall. In speeches this week, he has called the steel wall a concession to Democrats, and says it would be a boost to the steel industry. He even said he would invite U.S. steel and other steel manufacturers to design it.
The administration ordered testing of eight prototypes installed in Otay Mesa, California.
The Homeland Security Department unveiled two miles of steel slat construction on the border in October.
DHS responded to the network's report with a long statement noting that even if the wall isn't impenetrable, by slowing border-jumpers it would provide valuable time for border agents.
'The steel bollard construction is based on the operational requirements of the United States Border Patrol and is a design that has been honed over more than a decade of use,' said spokeswoman Katie Waldman.
"While the design currently being constructed was informed by what we learned in the prototypes, it does not replicate those designs," she continued. "The steel bollard design is internally reinforced with materials that require time and multiple industrial tools to breach, thereby providing U.S. Border Patrol agents additional response time to affect a successful law enforcement resolution.'
'Even a wall that is being breached is a valuable tool in that it allows us to respond to the attempted illegal entry,' she said.
But Trump multiple times has called for the wall to be impenetrable, in addition to stating during the campaign that Mexico would pay for it.
"I want nothing to do with Mexico other than to build an impenetrable WALL and stop them from ripping off U.S,' he tweeted in 2015.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
