They now have 2.75 inch GUIDED rockets.
We need something to reallllly shorten the “apprehend/arrest chain”:
If only there could be a small, affordable, guided missile that could disable pedestrians for several hours, something carried by a REAPER, Hunter, or even a ScanEagle.
That would be GREAT.
Still “replacement project”...
Just saying.
Existing left, Replacement right.
Wart hogs
KTAR NEWS reported:
“The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that the work on approximately 63 miles of bollard wall in the Tucson Sector could begin immediately.
A smaller section of bollard wall would also be replaced in the El Centro Sector in California.”
Replacement is not new Wall.
2 years in and no Wall.
I flew out of Boston a few weeks ago and I I exited TSA and getting dressed, bitching under my breath the whole time, it was funny...a like minded guy nearby made a comment, soon we were talking.
He was flying down to Texas to get involved with the wall building, I think he was involved in a bid for some work.
These projects are replacing worthless 4’ vehicle barriers that don’t stop vehicles with a tall bollard wall. That is a new fence in my book. All that vehicle barrier was part of the scam known as the Secure Fence Act.
Don’t swallow the dims talking points. In the real world a “vehicle barrier” is like having zero fence.
Are you a dim? That is a dim talking point. In the real world taking out a worthless 4’ vehicle barrier and putting in a tall bollard wall is building a wall. I don’t care what the dims want to call it.
Those vehicle barriers are worthless, don’t even stop vehicles.
To me replacement is if the same kind of fence was being put back in. This is night and day difference.
Hang in there Tammy, you are right on the money.
See post 4.
Also, technically and legally almost all the border had a “barrier” even before Trump took office. Almost every mile of newly constructed barrier or wall is going to end up being “replacement.”
How are you going to parse that, hm?
2 years in and no Wall.

Is that like when Obammy, in his last year in office, had the chance to put in an SC Judge but decided to give that pick to Trump so he could put in Gorsuch?
How about drones with lasers or rf weapons that melt wetbacks?
I was thinking of something carried by an AC-130 or an A-10
See post #4
You mean to *start* on the *”design”* of the replacement fence? At $7M a mile to erect?
You should improve your overall knowledge of things by learning what "design and build" means in the construction industry.
In the meantime put Divisions of the Army and Marines on the border to turn back the hoardes of interlopers. This catch and release is a sick joke being played upon us. All I can do is compile weapons and ammo. You won’t recognize this country in 5-10 years top. This dereliction of the Government’s duty to protect us from a mass invasion of savages is the greatest betrayal in United States history. Pray for your fellow patriots and prepare for the inevitable war that is coming.
