WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Defense Department said on Wednesday it had awarded a $646 million contract to a construction company to design and build a replacement for the border wall in Arizona. In a statement, the Pentagon said the work by Albuquerque, New Mexico-based Southwest Valley Constructors was expected to be completed by Jan. 31, 2020. The work will be performed in the Tucson sector, which includes most of the Arizona border with Mexico. The Pentagon did not indicate the length of the wall to be built.

Blow all rail and roadway bridges within 150 miles of the border .
Set up towers with machine guns every several hundred yards apart , with authorization to fire at will .
Allow for civilian militia border agent backup .

CLOSE THE BORDER - NO ASYLUM

here’s a two-fer for her:
More construction coming to California border barriers
https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/immigration/story/2019-05-15/more-construction-coming-to-california-border-barriers

when we speak of ‘replacement’, keep in mind some of the existing, jokingly called “fencing” is just that - a joke. In some places less than 4ft high and not much sturdier than rusty chicken wire. You can backflip over it. (ok, if you’re a young’un you can) Other places it’s ugly as a junkyard fence, with roving packs of vicious feral chi-wawas running around. Bollard fencing will allow those little ankle-biters to return to their homeland where they can be freeeee - to become dinner for coyotes and rattlers.

Sorry maybe I got carried away, but Ann does have a point.

Funny description.

My compliments.

Not naming the number of miles involved, even a range, is not a good sign for a DoD contract of $646M.

The process is going way too slow and this is all on purpose. We will never get the wall that we envision nor the reform needed. Don’t blame A.C. for her rants when the invasion continues and the wall is at a snails pace. President Trump has very little help from Swamp D.C. including the absolutely worthless GOPers.

Essentially Latin America and the USA are melding into one economic zone. Ironically Trump's election has sped up that process. This just show that 'we the people' are big ruled and not led or governed.

New Mexico gets a contract from DOD and their Governor pulled troops from border and now bussing illegals out of that state to Denver.

The wall is absolutely important in the long term but it is not a solution for stopping the continuing invasion by millions of these diseased invading scum...

When is some action of consequence (to protect the next election from being determined by voting migrant-invaders) going to be taken?

Shut the border... Expel all 30-million of the invading enemy force...
