My husband and I watch the TV show Colony, about space aliens (whom we don’t see) who have taken over and walled off big cities, for instance L.A. Those are some truly impressive and gigantic CGI walls. The DHS should consider that design. It would also satisfy Donald Trump’s grandiosity. A win/win!

May I suggest concertina razor wire in muted earth tones.

Perhaps it should be sheer and see-through - like one of the First Nipple’s dresses.

The Department of Homeland Security has asked vendors to consider aesthetics in their future proposals for wall prototypes to run along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Yes, aesthetics can be a very effective deterrent on their own. Perhaps DHS should commission some beautiful artwork with images of children being separated from their mothers complete with wailing and screaming in Dolby Atmos surround? Perhaps some nice Auschwitz or Treblinka motifs?

Buchenwald anyone?

And that’s just for the south facing side.

On the 'Murican side some pretty pictures of baby animals would suffice.

Personally, I think Hot Pink Polyester Faux Marabou would be FABULOUS!

Typical of new money McMansionaires–they forget to budget for landscaping.

They should be more worried about the name of the department. Nothing is more unaesthetic than “Homeland.”

They want a shrubbery, one that looks nice and isn’t too expensive.

A neutral palette is a must for future graffiti artists!

This what “aesthetics” in a wall looks like, everyone posting “I Love You” in different languages to others.

Just plaster gigantic posters of Trump and his family on there. No Mexican will be able to come within 1000 yards of it without becoming violently ill.

Not really, but it sure makes the orange’s thing look big.

I’ll support any border wall Maya Lin designs. And make it $100 billion.
