Construction of border wall panels underway in California
Fox News ^ | 29 June 2019 | David Aaro

New reinforced panels are being used to strengthen the border wall in the Calexico area of California.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers, announced a new panel installation on an 11-mile section of wall within the Border Patrol's San Diego sector on Thursday.

The new panels will replace the existing secondary barrier with 30-foot tall steel bollards as well as technology improvements, according to the CBP.

CBP says the El Centro and San Diego Sectors have been experiencing high levels of illegal-immigrant traffic. They hope this new addition to the wall will help support the Department of Homeland Security in hindering illegal crossings, and in quelling drug and smuggling activities.

The CBP announced the project earlier this month along with a new border wall project in Tecate, Calif. The $127 million contract to construct both projects was awarded to SLSCO Ltd. in December 2018. It's being paid to fix dilapidated or outdated border wall designs.

I’m trying to figure out why a judge has anything to say about Military Funding.

This is the ‘Big Beautiful Wall’ Trump talked about.

The judge is a hyper-democrat and cannot under any means let Trump win on this issue even if he/she/it has to issue an illegal/unconstitutional ruling to try and keep Trump from being successful in building the wall before the 2020 election.

This is some top of the line wall system, that is going into Calexico.

When President Trump came into office, Calexico lead the Nation in assaults on Border Patrol Officers. The very first segment of wall completed under his Administration was in Calexico - the Western side of the Port of Entry. Assaults on Officers plummeted (I believe it was an 85% drop).

This new segment is going to put the same kind of wall system extending 11 miles East of the Port of Entry.

Fisher can quickly and economically put in 18 ft wall systems with tech like they showed at Sunland Park.

I don't know why the socialist D's are so against the border wall.

As soon as they take over the country they will need them to keep people in.
