The US-Mexico border wall uses vertical metal bars anchored in concrete rather than solid concrete because this design provides Border Patrol agents with clear line of sight to detect movement on the other side before anyone approaches too closely, while also making repairs infinitely easier since metal sections can be replaced more readily than solid concrete walls.

Why does the US-Mexico Border have this design?Added:
Do you know why they chose this design for the wall on the border between the United States and Mexico? It was built so you can see right through it, and that's not a design flaw. The vertical metal bars anchored in concrete were chosen for exactly that reason. Border Patrol agents need a clear line of sight to the other side, spotting movement before anyone gets too close. And when a section needs repair, metal is infinitely easier to replace than a solid concrete wall. The most effective way to block a passage is the one that still lets you see who's on the other
