175 miles of new wall is good progress. Much more to accomplish.

After running her mouth about “failed Trump” in February, Coulter hasn’t said a word about the wall in her column.

She never apologized about being so wrong on Mittens. She won’t apologize to the president about being so dreadfully wrong about him either.

Lots of other sites with info......

snip
The Army Corps of Engineers is the executive agent for DOD’s border wall
construction. In April and May, the Corps awarded about $2.5 billion in
projects to build a portion of the wall that will span 129 miles in New Mexico,
Arizona and California, Hoffman said.

As of this week, virtually all of that $2.5 billion has been obligated and is
on contract, and officials expect to have the remaining $3 million obligated
before the end of this month, he said.

Hoffman said the Department of Homeland Security has the lead on prioritizing
which sections of wall get built first. “We’re working on their priorities,”
he said. “We’re relying on border patrol agents on the ground, the people
who have the most knowledge, to tell us where the border wall should be built.”

Building the wall takes time, Hoffman said. Besides the actual construction,
other factors include planning, buying property and doing environmental
assessments. Once those are completed, he said, the construction itself can
be rapid.

Money or technology wasn’t a barrier, not for over 100 years.

There was only zero POLITICAL WILL.

There are something like 60 million illegal aliens already through the barn door. What about them? Put lipstick on it but Until a sizable number leave, it is all a failure.

Coulter is a Self Promoter who fooled a great many Conservatives for a very many years.
She sold a great many books during those years. Made herself a nice sum of money and, a comfortable life most of the people who paid for her books could only dream of.
I never bought her schtick and, never purchased a single book she wrote.
When she went all in for Romney I knew for a fact my instincts were spot on.

Just think — about 25 miles more will be built by my birthday next month.]

Brings a lump to my throat.

MAGA!
