More than 330 miles of new "border wall capability" will be in place by the end of 2020, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost said Monday, noting that repairs to the wall in the San Diego area bring the current total to "57 miles that we have put in."

An additional 47 miles is under contract. Provost told Fox News' "Fox and Friends."

What about mining the no-mans land?

Thanks. I hope you are as well informed as you appear.

If your vote doesn’t go for Trump, it’s going to go nowhere.

Have a good time, with your radical lib overlords.

*** “I am so sick of the ABCNBCCBSFOXMSNBCNYTWP propaganda machine” ***

Notice that they now Advertise on Conservative (Right Wing) Radio as “The Most Trusted” Lester Holt (Most famous for his NOW SCRUBBED from You Tube “STOP THE F’N Hammering” video)

I can’t believe how much $ the Left is spending on Conservative Radio trying to make that Super Lib total Ass Clown viable.

His Ads are like every 15 minutes, if you didn’t know who he was you’d think he was WAY Right of Rush Limbaugh.

PS Lester Holt probably thinks CNN is “Right Wing”

I appreciate your posts on wall construction, BeauBo.

That and the reports on judge confirmations make my day.

To be continued. Shoring up the old wall first, new wall second. For the new wall you have to secure eminent domain rights from thousands of property owners, agree on just compensation and then start construction. Property owners tend to file lawsuits to get the best deal possible for their land.

so if I wrote in Jordan i would be voting with radical lib overlords. You’ll say anything to make an unnamable point. You can vote for someone who can’t deliver on two of his major issues. Have a good one.

asking Trump to be prepared from day one is not expecting him to do something yesterday. On both his F’s he’s also 30 months in. I described what he should have done on the wall. He talked about it for 18 months and did nothing when he was elected. You re exaggerating because his performance in those areas is indefensible.

Good Night!

I think you meant ‘conscience’.

And I’ll refer you to JBW1949’s post 12.

Do you think your measly vote against Trump will mean ANYTHNG, except to those who oppose Conservative concerns and ideals?

I’m tired of you. G’nite, again!

(Border Wall reports) “make my day”

It is a good news story - and it is a great story, because it is being accomplished despite massive obstacles.

That is why men fight bulls. The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph.

I think that President Trump would be bored with a lesser job. His talent would be wasted elsewhere.

He is making serious efforts to do so many historic realignments at the same time.

Means everything to me. My vote doesn’t go to people who fail toYou all spent a lot of time on my “measly” vote. My vote, unlike yours, doesn’t go to someone who does not follow thru on his promises.

Have you ever run for office - or even been a businessman - and dealt with all of the exigencies involved? Or do you just play on computers?

You are trying to dumb-down the presidency to your subjectively held ideals and goals.

It just doesn’t work that way, and you need to grow up.

(I’m REALLY going to bed, now :-)

“and then give a half-ass effort.”

The Administration is making serious efforts to transform the hard problems, that have been kicked down the road for a long time.

The loss of our industrial base, tax reform, trade deals, the rise of the communist leviathan in China, the Iranian nuclear program, reforming a corrupt bureaucracy, illegal immigration - even an Arab-Israeli peace deal. Juggling a lot of balls.

In the case of border security in general, and the wall program in particular, I could argue strongly that the Trump effort is about as far from “half-assed” as you could get. We are fortunate to have a world class builder in charge of the effort, and a man who is renown for making his subordinates produce (or they’re Fired!).

He has really made it happen - damn few people could have.

I mentioned earlier what could have been done on the wall on Jan 21, 2017. And all he had to do was hire an AG who would take the charges in the comey report and indict hillary, a woman he called Criminal a few hundred times and riled up the crowd to chant Lock her Up! while he smiled and pumped his fist.

There is a SERIOUS effort.

Either he doesn’t want to do it or he is unable to figure out what to do, or incapable of hiring the right people.,

“all he had to do was hire an AG who would take the charges in the comey report and indict hillary”

I am not an attorney, and don’t have a lot of the facts, to make an informed judgement on how hard that would be, or if it would be the best course of action in the long run. Undoubtedly, much is highly classified, because the Secretary of State inherently operates within some of the most classified realms within the US Government.

But when it comes to management of a large Federal Program, largely in the unclassified public domain, I feel much more confident in expressing an evaluation. I will say it again - I think that what the Administration has achieved with their Wall Program ha been positively masterful.

There is going to a rain of contract awards, miles constructed, and segments completed between now and the election. It is going to be a wonder to behold.
