Another smoking fast week of Border Wall Erection!

We had been running at an historic pace of ten miles per week, but last week, they cranked it up to eleven!

(Rockumentary reference above, for Larry's entertainment).

Eleven more miles Super Barrier erected last week. The week prior we dipped down to nine (likely just rounding error), so our average pace remains around ten miles per week - which is smoking great, and on track for the announced year end goal of 450.

The Supreme Court announced that they will take the case on the Migrant Protection Protocols (Remain in Mexico Policy for Asylum claimants).

They will also take one of the cases on the President's diversion of other funds, to build border wall. Decisions expected in the Spring of 2021.

This case centers on the re-programming of other DoD funds (i.e. all the loose change they can scrape up throughout the DoD, toward the end of the year - the difference between the budgeted and actuals), into the Counter-Narcotics account (which is Congressionally authorized to build border barrier roads and lights, under section 284).

The other big diversion of funds case working through the courts (9th Circuit), concerns the diversion of Military Construction Funds (MILCON), under the auspices of a Presidentially declared emergency, per the National Emergencies Act (section 2808). That one has not made it to the Supreme Court yet.

In Arizona, the two main focal points for Leftist front groups to oppose the wall (Quitobaquito Springs in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and the San Pedro River in the SE of Sierra Vista) have now both been walled off from Mexico.

Also in Arizona, Contractors are building border barrier and new access road in remote and steep terrain. They are also creating some level spaces on commanding high terrain, that Border Petrol will be able to use for a long time to come. It is some heavy earth-moving infrastructure development - very hard to come by during normally constrained budgets.

It’s nearly 400 miles we wouldn’t have had without Trump.

Honestly, I never thought I’d live to see a great big wall
down there.

Love it!

I notice no further miles moving from preconstruction to construction, and no further in preconstruction. Makes it seem like it’s going to come to a halt at 581 miles. Any reason?
