Build new military bases along the border. One in each border state with a wall that runs the whole length of the state’s border.
absolute genius.......
sneaky but nice idea!
“Build new military bases along the border.”
Border Patrol has issued a contract for 2,000, up to 3,000 rapidly deployable (pop up kit) buildings (18’x 18’). They can be hauled to a site like a shipping container, be positioned with a crane or forklift/wretch, and set up within hours. Other trucks could drop trailers with fresh water, generators and fuel. The winning vendor has subcontracted with Rhino Hide in Idaho to provide bullet resistant wall filling.
Those type of buildings seem to be for establishing an enduring presence in remote, undeveloped areas. I expect they plan to establish a series of small bases, and/or observation/surveillance stations. I’d guess they want to have a response capability if they detect incursions, so I lean to small base option, with a dozen or more officers per crew.
So it seems that Border Patrol plans to ramp up for that mission. I would guess that we will see it next year, but its very possible that the first few might be this year.
