Hmmm … this must have been designed by the advanced planners at TSA.
My first thought was a drill, a propane tank (not too big), a small acetylene tank, and a sparkplug (or plasma lighter) Get well back and behind cover and ready your action camera.

Obvious window dressing. Think outside the “box”. A quickly dug 11 ft crawlspace wouldn’t be out of the question.

These 9-by-40-feet containers are linked together, welded shut and not budging!"
so they’re “linked together” top and bottom but not side-to-side? And in their pointy little minds this is supposed to be a proper wall of China? With certainly nothing preventing a short tunnel underneath (nod to @d4l3d). Does Arizona assume any false pride in its elected leadership?

8,800 shipping containers out of service.
yet dougie will be the first to scream about Biden causing supply chain disruptions for falling imports and rising prices.

Mr. Obvious says, “what a waste of time, steel, and tax payer money!”

But shipping containers are so trendy! I mean, he can keep the overflow from Arizona’s prison system in them just like Tiny Homes! /s
If Arizona ever does see a bit of rain again (and I mean a tiny bit) every one of them will wind up on its side because the ground under them will wash away.

Even if they’re welded together, they still look easily surmountable with a ladder or grappling hook.

Or go over. Google Shopping lists 24 foot extension ladders at a couple hundred bucks. Put one up on each side of the wall, rest a long board across the ladders (above the barbed wire.) Climb, walk, climb. If the authorities notice and come to arrest you, ditch the ladders and run away. What are they going to do, require Home Depot, Lowe’s, or any of a number of home improvement stores to card anyone buying a ladder?
Hell, if you’re looking to smuggle inanimate objects like drugs, pack them up into football or soccer ball shaped parcels. Throwing such a parcel 20’ in the air at an angle to take it over this wall or kicking it over shouldn’t be that difficult for someone in good shape.

Consider how much money, though, went to whomever sold Arizona those 8800 containers.

You have to admit that a ~90 m3 fuel-air explosion might make an effective distraction.

18 feet? There are people who can pole vault over that.

Let’s not forget the attachment points at the top and bottom of each container… so some halfway up the wall, and more at the top.
