Contracts for these areas have already been awarded. Environmental waivers are usually the last thing we hear from the Government before groundbreaking occur on new segments - could be weeks or months. These will be "new" miles, where there was no previous barrier.

"to be a fenced area"

To keep the meth heads from stealing anything for the scrap metal value.

That picture gives me the urge to weld. I may have to fire up old sparky and run a few beads today.

Now trump’s wall is illegal? With these laws not being followed. There is no room in the USA for anything illegal.

Hmmmm.

Liberal slugs right us tooth and nail to stop the Wall from being built - then they turn to their shills in the press and tell them to condemn Trump for ‘not building the Wall’...

Evil little liberal sh*ts.

Not to be Pecksniffian, but do you know the precise location of that materials storage site? Want to flip that photo to my relatives in Arizona and say,"Coming soon to a neighborhood near you." LOL!

Anyway, love waking up to good news and beautiful pictures!

Back during W, remember when Kay Bailey Hutchinson (RINO) got a bill passed that allowed the state to be sued due to the fence.
