I would not trust ANY Mexican-made product, especially for this purpose. Nothing wrong with U.S. manufactured products, thank you.
Top quality concrete, I’m sure.
Too much opportunity for sabotage.
Build prisons Mexico, prisons! Because there are a lot of bad hombres returning to your streets soon.
I guess you are all correct. Sabotage, etc.
I guess I’m naive but my first thought was wow they want to help!
Yeah I’m just that stupid. LOL!
You all are correct. This should be built by native-born or naturalized citizens.
Uh, no thanks dudes, we will BUY AMERICAN.
If they use Mexican cement they better check each load to make sure it is up to American standards. Remember when there was an earthquake off the Pacific coast and it caused buildings, way inland, including a hospital, in Mexico City to collapse due to substandard cement and construction practices.
I am one of those post image of first pop or obscure reference relevant to any random event guy. However, I am on my stupid IPhone, and have not been able to figure out how to copy image URLs...so mentally cue image of Fat Tony on the Simpsons with his union labor cabal building the wheel chair access ramps for Springfield elementary school seconds before they collapse
Might want to check H.B. Zachary in San Antonio- they built DFW, among other large projects.
so, I just incorporate my cement business here, using a straw man, then be low bidder, then buy my cement from Cemex and sell to the feds.
Buy USA products only, USA.
Davey Crockett and Jim Bowie look over the wall at the Alamo, see 40,000 Mexicans approaching. One asks the other "Are we doing concrete today?"
It’s a trap.
Mexican products are mostly crap - it’s the only country I’ve been to that has warm ice.
A wall along the Mexican border. I’d love to have the spray paint concession.
This isn’t a building. It’s a wall in the desert. No bricks. No mortar. Concrete slabs set by cranes.
Only if Mexico pays for it.
Buy American is not that simple when it comes to cement.

“About one-third of the company’s sales come from its Mexico operations, a quarter from its plants in the U.S.”

Does Lockheed still own Portland Cement?
No f’ing way. I bet they’d claim it was cement but in reality it is the same paper mache they make pinyatas out of to build the wall. No thanks@!
