Trump admits border wall is not impenetrable after reports parts have been sawed through: 'You can cut through anything'

Smuggling gangs have reportedly used commercial power tools to cut through the new parts of Trump's controversial wall along the Mexican border.

reported on Saturday that smuggling gangs have used commercial power tools to cut through the new parts of Trump's controversial wall along the Mexican border.The gangs used a cordless reciprocating saw, which can be purchased at hardware stores starting from as little as $100, to make gaps big enough for people and drugs to pass through, U.S. agents and officials who have knowledge of the situation told the newspaper.

Trump, who spent years insisting his border wall would be impenetrable, conceded that any wall can be cut through but insisted the damage could be"easily fixed." Recently-installed"bollard" style fencing is pictured on the U.S.-Mexico border near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, on April 30, 2019.But according to the Post, smugglers have learned how to cut the bollards and then return them to their positions so that the damage goes unnoticed, allowing the passage to be used multiple times.
