Trump border wall going up in Texas
MSN News ^ | September 22, 2018 | Agence France Presse

The United States was to begin construction in Texas on Saturday of part of President Donald Trump's border wall designed to curb illegal immigration, which he calls a security threat.

Running along four miles (six kilometers) of the 2,000-mile border with Mexico, the new section will replace existing fencing along the boundary between El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, US Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.

"This new wall will be far more durable and far more effective in deterring would-be illegal entrants," Aaron Hull, Chief Patrol Agent in the El Paso sector, said in the statement.

It said the existing fencing will be replaced by an 18-foot (5.4 meter) steel post barrier which allows Border Patrol agents to see through to the other side....

After reading other Comments, I get the impression almost no one read the post.

It’s not four “new” miles of fence.

They are replacing four miles of OLD fence.

I don't think it's uncertainty. Trump knows why the Democrats and most of the Republicans don't want a wall. It's because they never had any intention of securing our borders. If they didn't secure our borders directly after the epic 911 attack on our own soil, they were never going to secure them...Until Trump showed up.☺

The wall is coming along and will continue to be built. The funding will happen, one way or another.

Have you ever attempted to scale an 18' wall of this type? That's a fatal fall, or at least will leave you all broken up on the ground.

When you empty a bag of sugar, there will always be some granules left behind.

And a wall such as this will not stop every single person, but it will clearly stop the majority, tens of millions of others from ever attempting it. That is the idea here.

In my view, Dems are driven by the votes/power/ money they will get, and many Reps are driven by corporate donors who want cheap labor.

I agree. They’ve been doing this for decades and it’s damn near ruined this country. They are traitors.

An 85% fee sounds fair. Or GTFO.

Go home and fix your own mess.

Mexico is blessed with so many resources they would prosper like mad if they weren’t so corrupt.
