Full Headline:"Trump takes first step to building the wall by requesting bids from contractors - and it's 'way, way, way ahead of schedule'"

Best. President. Ever. May he live 1000 years.

But Rush said he wouldn’t build the wall, didn’t he?

And no bids from companies with names like “Rodriquez Fencing Co.” or “Garza Excavation”, alright?

If “Rodriquez Fencing Co.” or “Garza Excavation” are American companies with American workers, you bet they can bid on it.

Pardon me for saying so, but that was a very dumb remark. I’ve worked with lots of Americans named Rodriquez, Perez, Garcia, etc. All great, industrious people.

Thinking : when some parts of the wall are completed the easy entrance will be funneled to fewer location. As they become the only easy access those patrolling will have an easier time of picking people up.

What about the workers? May have to import most of them.

No, dumb is allowing the people we are trying to keep out to work the job and build tunnels and other means for the cartels to smuggle drugs and illegals into this country. And yes I know Mexicans that are hard workers that are good people but that's not the issue here. I also know and have seen many that brought their cousins and families over and started their own businesses, underbid their formers bosses on jobs because the could afford it due to not saving to pay payroll taxes and corporate taxes just paying them in cash, and put them out of business. One guy I know in particular ended up buying rent houses, a Mack truck, and vehicles in cash. I know his guys were illegals and didn't pay taxes. If you're not taxed it gives you a whole lot more money to play with.

We have plenty of legal people here that are willing to do that work and are very capable. They are also looking for work.

He should ask for Design/Build proposals.

Result is likely to be both the best design and lowest cost.

Confession: I was founder & CEO of a D/B corporation that designed and constructed large Data Centers for Fortune 500 firms.

D/B was the way things were done until the last century and half or so.......

Likely to require different designs for different terrains and sub-soil conditions......

The issue is American Citizen vs illegal.

I am waiting to see what Trump does when those bids come in with tons of “fat” in them. My bet is he will return the bids and tell them to try again........it’s the “Art Of The Deal”. Gotta love this guy.

The Israeli wall is much better.
No need to reinvent the wheel.

Been some snowflake concern trolls right here that had their panties all wadded up because he hadn't broke ground in his first month - would be nice if they would get in touch with reality.....

I haven’t seen most of these names in over a year, so I’m thinking some are trolls, maybe others booted form alt-right Spencer sites.

Yep - and some faux-conservatives.

I have called out dozens to their faces and have only had 3 come back that they donate anonymously - even w/o proof, I apologize if they claim it, but I'd wager at least one of the 3 lied.

There are a lot of “concern trolls” that Trump is hiring too many people that don’t share his views.

I disagree. He and Bannon, in particular, have vetted the heck out of these guys-—more for their “fit” than anything else-—and aren’t hiring anyone who won’t be an asset.
