The recent award I was talking about is going to extend the new San Diego barriers East, from where they currently end (Otay Mesa, just past where the prototypes were built). There is some real steep slope, that is going to really challenge installation, and road building. No previous barrier has been there.
One of the barriers will be extended two miles (I’d guess the primary barrier) and the other will be extended one and a half miles. Then it will meet up with good pre-existing runs of bollards, on the other side of this gap, to form a continuous barrier.
Although it is not a lot of miles, San Diego has always been a very high value target, with high traffic. It could be subject to mob rush tactics by a future “caravan”, if that gap is left open. Bollards proved very effective against last year’s caravan, and against the old crowd rush techniques that used to be common in San Diego. Total showstoppers.
String a few rolls of concertina on top of the bollards, and a few guys with a lot of CS (tear gas) can hold off hundreds.
25 floors up!
It is just not cost effective to build raccoon-proof barrier.
We will have to live with the raccoons, or find a cheaper way to kill them.

Jacumba Wilderness has a pretty long run getting put in now, but I think it is mostly the flat area.
The Military Construction contracts that are just starting to get awarded, are supposed to include three miles of secondary barrier around the Tecate Port of Entry (30 footers), and about 13 miles of (30 foot) secondary barrier around Calexico POE (mostly to West side).
Is this the same company that made car bodies in the day?
Obama would have selected Fisher-Price.
Good info,
Thanks!
I’m familiar,
Intimately with
the fence from
Tecate to Jacumba.
It’s very rugged with
lots of canyons but has
Highways on both sides
of the Border.
Ideal location for Smuggling and it seems
It’s being ignored.

I believe this was Fischers idea, but it doesn’t matter at all who builds it.
It’s much harder to breach this wall than the current bollards, which are certain to be torn down or purposely neglected to the point of collapse in the future.
Our children and grandchildren are going to have a huge fight on their hands in the future just to maintain what is now being built.
All a person has to do is look how much old ‘wall’ is being replace, and what kind of shape it’s in, crumpled, driven down, neglected.
25, 50 years from now the same fight that we are fighting is g right now today is going to have to be fought all over.
I appreciate the added comments. They fell in line with the understanding I had already gleaned from you.
