Three miles was contracted there (which currently have no barrier at all), and they are expected to start work in the next few weeks. Survey markings are already in place.
Other areas in the Valley require massive levee wall, which takes a lot more time and work before bollards go up. Out toward the Western end of the Rio Grande Valley though, the River bank is higher on our side, and regular border wall can be used.
Did wereturn fure?
“and witnessed four subjects with automatic weapons who shot over 50 rounds at them.“
Why aren’t all of the shooters dead?

Any of those PBR’s still operational? Last one I saw was at the UDT/SEAL Museum in Ft. Pierce this past winter.
If III Corps along with it’s artillery assets were down there (as they should be), they could have used one or two batteries of 155mm or a section of MLRS to eliminate the cartel assets firing upon the CBP.
Sounds like we need to dredge the river for pulley lines. I wonder how many more there are.
I wonder if we already do.
I wonder who wrote the book of love.

The long-term solution to this type of situation is to tell Mexico that any shooting at our guys from their land will result in the permanent taking of the spot from whence the shots were fired, plus a half mile radius around it. No exceptions. If that means bulldozing Mexican buildings, so be it. The Mexican government needs to do their part to patrol their northern border... or risk losing chunks of it. If we end up controlling both banks along the entire Rio Grande, that’ll teach Mexico a valuable lesson.
I’m really getting tired of the socialists (AKA Dems) standing in the way of protecting America. They need to be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.
Those border patrol boats should all be armed with either Quad .50s or several miniguns, so that they are never afraid to return fire, and so that the cartels are afraid to shoot at them.
I see everyone here thinks they should have opened up and returned fire and Killed all of them.
I think we need F-18’s with Napalm on standby
I’m surprised the Wall construction crews have not been fired upon. Apologies to the honest and patriotic Hispanics and Latinos among us, of which, of course, there are many millions, but I would hope the crews consist of out of state contractors, who have no other connections to the border or the area. Cartels will use whomever they can find, of whom they might take advantage, by threatening them or their families. God protect our BP, other troops, and the work crews, in the Name of Jesus, and confounded the works of the enemy!
Where’s Mr Brrriiittt when you need him?
Great find! Keep fighting!
