Build the wall around the north side of the property. . .they are now walled in with the cartels.
Being the government, they had to issue an RFP and then as part of the source-selection process, prototypes are built.
After that then a wall design will be chosen and that’s it.
It is Congress that wrote laws defining the source-section process.
You really thought it would be finished in ten months?
Post 62.
Most of the land along the border in the Western states is owned by the federal government, something known as the Roosevelt Easement. This 60-foot buffer does not exist in Texas, where private landowners must give up their property for a fence to be built.
But of course
Just messin’ with a newbie...
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will begin constructing the first segment of President Trump’s border wall in November through a national wildlife refuge, using money it’s already received from Congress.
That’s what a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official recently told a nonprofit group that raises money to support two national wildlife refuges in South Texas, according to the group’s vice president.
“I was alarmed,” said Jim Chapman of Friends of the Wildlife Corridor. “It was not good news.”
For the past six months, CBP has been quietly preparing a site to build a nearly 3-mile border barrier through the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, according to The Texas Observer. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also has reportedly begun drilling and soil testing in California and New Mexico.
But construction on the wall was not expected to begin until January because Congress has yet to approve CBP’s budget. On Thursday, the House approved a spending bill that contained $1.6 billion to build segments of the wall in Texas and California. Its fate in the Senate is uncertain.
Congratulations to them for them becoming a part of Mexico when President Trump builds the wall to the immediate north of them.
Border wall has residents caught between the U.S. border and fence that cuts off a chunk of Texas. Will a bigger barrier make it worse?

The border fence is far from the river in some places, trapping homes, cemeteries and farmland to the south.
Most of President Trump's expanded border wall would be in Texas, where ~10% of Rio Grande is fenced.
BROWNSVILLE — Most mornings, 19-year-old Greg Garcia passes through an opening in a rusting, 18-foot-high steel fence on his way to classes at Texas Southmost College in Brownsville, where he studies the air conditioning sciences.
On his way home, he drives south past the border fence. More often than not he is waved through by Border Patrol agents stationed at the opening who have come to recognize his truck. If there’s a new agent on the wall, he might get stopped and asked a few questions. It’s something he’s gotten used to over the last half-decade.
“I’ve had some family members say to us, ‘When we come over to the house, do we need to bring some legal documents to get back?’ ” he said. “People think we live in Mexico. Actual Mexico.”
Garcia and his family live in the U.S., but on the other side of a border fence built in the Rio Grande Valley over the past decade. Building the border wall in Texas was not clean work. Unlike many parts of Arizona, New Mexico and California, where the border is an unseen straight line on the desert floor, the natural barrier of the Rio Grande made wall-building a frustrating experience for federal officials a decade ago.
Fencing couldn’t hug the madly winding shoreline or it would exacerbate flooding. And because nearly all the riverfront land in Texas is in private hands, the government had to negotiate rights of way or claim eminent domain through condemnation lawsuits.
So there are sections where the fence sits up to a mile from the border, on the U.S. side. An entire ecosystem sits behind the fence: wildlife refuges, birding trails, thousands of acres of farmland, cemeteries, soccer fields and homes where families such as the Garcias live.

Trump should have the army run concertina wire from coast to coast and declare the wall done. We can then start arguing about improvements to the wall.
The wall could be complete by Monday.
Sounds like an interesting way to toss yer money away!
Hello!
