——The Corps of Engineers is still in the procurement process.....

Hmmm. One wonders if that is a stall point

[max americana]

it will be cheaper if they just place landmines all over the border..

The democrats in the House will now investigate Fisher Sand and Gravel for collusion and obstruction of justice.

$6 million a mile.

I’ve said from the day Trump was inaugurated they should do a reverse auction for wall-builders. Let’s see who’s hungry and who’s got the best ideas and highest efficiency.

The man is a Patriot.

You will just end up killing a lot of deer, pigs, and other wildlife.

I remember reading about the big dam projects and
how the construction companies got together to bid and
build it and how workers came from all over America just to work on it.

I hope Trump will come up with something like that,
farming it out to small contractors is not the way to
go on a project of this scale.

what’s the bad news?

Apparently Tommy Fisher has never worked on a Government contract before.

First, he'll have to pay "prevailing wages" to his crew, which will be double what he normally pays them.

Then he will have to submit all of the paperwork that he is complying with the Fair Labor Act, the Equal Opportunities to Minorities and Snowflakes Act, the Don't Kill Fuzzy Pink Frogs Act, etc.

Then he will have to submit to an audit by the IRS, DEA, NCAA, etc. to make sure his books are properly cooked.

By the time he's finished, $8 billion won't be enough for the 234 miles of fence.

Including the cost of the land?

[OLDCU]

I’ve done business with this company for years. They are top notch.

The Davis-Bacon Act can be suspended in case of emergency. Likely the American Iron and Steel Act is the same.

[mrmeyer]

Been saying that since the 90’s

[MichaelCorleone]

For that matter, I will take a few buddies of mine and build a billion dollars’ worth of wall, however many miles that covers.

Yes, Mr. President, the aforementioned is a bona fide offer and upon acceptance, we will be on the job withing days

Your staff can reach me through the usual channels.

Respectfully,

[Regulator]
