Border Fence Destroyed by Sand?

Top photo shows break in fence southeast of Yuma, Arizona. This and other breaks in fence in this area appear to have been caused by shifting sand. This fencing has been in place for about a year. -- Bottom photo shows different design being used west of Yuma. Problem may have been that mesh fence did not allow sand to pass through. Could it be that forty miles of fence near Yuma will have to be replaced? This could cost as much $300 million if DHS cost numbers are to be believed.
