What the mainstream media won't show you: The Border Wall IS Being Built...
video at link
Looks like a construction project of a tall steel slatted fence in progress somewhere on the border.
Posted as a separate thread for Hoosiermama.
I seen old cars rusts completely through in a few years outside... how will this fair over time?
Hopefully they’ll be painting it.

Communist tears are a proven anti-rust protector.
Yes it is...too bad dhimmikkkrats.
San Diego/Tijuana Primary Barrier near the Prototypes (Eastern Flank)
Before President Trump:
After President Trump:
Starting this month (Feb), a second, taller (30 foot) bollard barrier begins construction 150 feet behind this new one. The enforcement zone (no man's land) between the barriers will have high speed patrol road for Border Patrol response, be lighted at night, under 24 hour video surveillance, and be alarmed with hidden sensors (essentially 100% detection). San Diego's border will be effectively closed by Christmas.
It’s called weathering steel or CorTen. Controlled surface rusting to create a protective tube coat. Used on bridges and marine environments. Really effective in arid climates.
ahh thanks :) I feel better now
hate to see it rotted through in a few years :)
Best POTUS Ever!
All the garbage along the road on the Mexico side is a nice touch.
Gee, I want more of that here
Nice. Thanks.
That is a special steel. The oxidation layer is very thin and hard and protects the rest of the structure. Does not need painting. Many highway bridges are made out of it.
Last April
Lots of videos here
Four miles completed in downtown El Paso, TX.
West side of the Calexico, CA Port of Entry complete (East side starts in April). This segment led the Nation in attacks on Border Patrol officers - after the new bollards, it is quiet.
14 new segments have just been awarded in the last few months - 2019 will be a lot busier than last year.
New construction is scheduled to begin this month (Feb 2019) in several locations.

I’m trying to get it put on our County GOP web page..thanks.
At the end of the video she says she is in Tijuana.
Very nice. Can I get one of those for my hood?
Jim, you are so right calling it pre-rusted steel. It is probably CORTEN, by U.S. STEEL. They were the first to fabricate what is now commonly called weathered steel. Others such as MARY-R came later.
