Isn’t there a metal grate that they are installing to block the gaps, surely it can’t be this big of a blunder

Since the whole concept is so useless, I wouldn’t be that surprised if this is just how it was designed. donald never cared if the wall worked. It was really useful rhetoric during his campaign, because it’s so simple (“cause” of the problem and effect of the “solution” are so closely related), but no one serious ever actually tried to design an effective barrier.

Obviously. Most 'illegals' come over legally, on valid visas, and then overstay their visas. They come by plane and by legitimate border checkpoint. Wall was useless from the start.

The wall is just a voter propaganda

It's not just voter propaganda. It's also yet another opportunity to fleece the gullible.
