Double barrier was funded for San Diego, but the President threatened to hold it up until California's Congressional Delegation stopped blocking wall funding for other States.

I guess that he needs to take care of the Republicans in San Diego.

New barrier is being installed now in Calexico, CA; and West from El Paso; but the big segments funded this year around San Diego and McAllen, TX, have not been awarded yet.

Apparently, they are getting ready to award the San Diego segments, which will seriously strengthen that sector (Otay Mesa to the Ocean, double barrier).

The 33 miles around McAllen, TX will close the gaps in what is now the area of greatest illegal entry (except for the 3 rural miles of the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge). It will be the biggest impact of this year's contract awards.

This can’t be happening. Now long will this thread be up before the Are We There, Yet crowd slithers into it?

San Diego is against Moonbeam? Boy, Trump is still winning.
Wish I could read @ThomasWictor to see what his analysis of Trump is on this. Right now, I’m blocked from Twitter. Not to dissuade anybody, but I got blocked while I was reading @ThomasWictor.

"Apparently, they are getting ready to award the San Diego segments, which will seriously strengthen that sector (Otay Mesa to the Ocean, double barrier)."

There has been a very large double fence (with vehicle road and lights) in that exact sector for years, thanks to Rep. Duncan Hunter. It's been very effective and reduced illegal crossing from Tijuana by some 95%. It's why the illegals targeted Cochise County down by Tombstone, Arizona that barely has a barbwire fence in place for cattle. Also, the very reason the Minutemen (I was a member) formed. Google San Diego double fence.

I don't get it, unless it is deteriorating so much and needs repair. However, there are sections east of Otay Mesa that could use an effective barrier to the Yuma area border.

Maybe Jerry would go for a high speed rail atop the wall. 1st segment, Pacific Ocean to Yuma AZ.

Plans.. it’s been over a year and all we have is plans? How embarrassing! Other tiny countries have been building walls and we are still just planning? I call midterm kabuki.
Clearly if trump wants something done, it is.. mysteriously the wall hasn’t even been funded. However we have trillions in chuck n Nancy spending and Syrian rapefugees, a bunch of invaders bragging they are waltzing in and they did. Impotent or incompetent on the wall.. plans? Gee thanks.
