Some 20 businesses rose to the top of a pool of around 460 companies that submitted initial proposals for the US/Mexico border wall so desired by President Trump and his supporters. But, due to federal procurement rules, the names of these businesses are still under wrap.
Even the exact number of selected bidders hasn’t been released, although all who were selected are expected to be notified this week. They will then submit more detailed proposals. From there, the list will be further whittled down, and companies will submit four to eight prototypes that will be built in the Otay Mesa neighborhood of San Diego in July.
The procurement laws haven’t stopped DarkPulse Technologies, an Arizona-based company, from announcing that they’ve been selected to work on prototypes. Their design comprises a ballistic concrete wall capable of withstanding up to 12 hours of tampering. It includes sensors that can alert Border Control of any tunneling.
Due to the extreme opposition to the proposed wall, the CEO of DarkPulse states that he’s amping up security and is “ready for criticism”.
“I take morality and politics out of it,” he told the San Diego Union Tribune. “I’m addressing the mission at hand. I’m for secure borders. I’m not against any particular group. I’m not against immigration.”

Am I seeing this diagram correctly? They already embedded a tunnel? I guess they will have a side business managing those underground crossings.
and DarkPulse? better name it DarthVader at once dude...
Clearly, this person must be put to death.
I like the built-in drug tunnel.
Under federal procurement rules that drawing was probably enough to secure a couple hundred million in preliminary funding.
I just realized they put that dimension in meters, weird.
The world is metric... not your backwards american imperial nonsense. Do I ever hate it when, on the very rare occasion, I have to draft imperial CDs.
who are you fighting? why the anger? I was born in metric, and yes , the world is metric - but the hate will get you nowhere.
Wall to be constructed using standard Sketch up brick patterns.
