The professional on the border knows a wall system intended not to prevent the entry. msnbc jacob soboroff is live in texas. >> reporter: it is not something that i associate with the president now we have a few one to add to the list and these were seen for the first time. what this wall, steel slabs, the president said of his choice. it is capable of being sliced through eye a saw. dhs tested all prototypes and i have seen all of them. we have not seen what those
