DHS: Border Wall Going Up ‘Faster Than Ever Before,’ Roughly 10 Miles Per Week
MenRec ^ | 10/03/20 | Staff

Posted on 10/03/2020 6:01:02 PM PDT by rustyweiss74

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) put out a statement updating America on the construction of the border wall, reporting it is being built at about “10 miles per week.”

The statement, issued Tuesday, claims the Trump administration “is building (a) new wall and doing so faster than ever before.”

“Now construction is moving at a rate of approximately 10 miles per week, setting the administration up to complete its year-end goal with time to spare,” it reads.

That year-end goal constitutes a 450-mile section at “some of the highest-trafficking and therefore most critical sectors of the southern border for illegal crossings and apprehensions.”

The department also notes that 341 new miles have been completed, while another 240 are under construction with an additional 157 miles entering the pre-construction phase.

If the communists steal the 2020 election, they will gleefully blow-up the wall as they destroy America.

We must do “whatever it takes” to defeat the communists and help the good guys save America.

Excellent progress. Just in time too. Word is there is a very large caravan of Guatemalans and Hondurans heading to the USA timed to arrive just before the election.
Who thought this would hurt the Presidents reelection I cannot fathom. But, Mexico has called up thousands of troops to block them.

They are going to get deported South from mexico so fast, it will make their heads spin.

Additionally, they will also likely experience a bit of head spin from the riot batons, just after they cross into Mexico, and just prior to their deportation.

The Mexican Military does not fool around when it comes to domestic enforcement.

It’s interesting, ya never see anyone posting anymore about, “The wall will never be built”. They seem as rare of public pay phones nowadays.

And with nothing but NONSTOP obstruction and refusal to fund it by our domestic enemies. That’s the really amazing thing — he steamrollered the domestic enemies.

Wow, where is the bottom pic with the pointy ends on the steel posts and the concertina wire? Is that on the US / Mexico border? Or some other country?

And you don’t hear the ComDems whimpering, whining, mewling or kvetching about the wall anymore, either. They must be licking their wounds somewhere.
