YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — On a dirt road past rows of date trees, just feet from a dry section of Colorado River, a small construction crew is putting up a towering border wall that the government hopes will reduce — for good — the flow of immigrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.
Cicadas buzz and heavy equipment rumbles and beeps before it lowers 30-foot-tall (48-kilometer-tall) sections of fence into the dirt. “Ahí está!” — “There it is!” — a Spanish-speaking member of the crew says as the men straighten the sections into the ground. Nearby, workers pull dates from palm trees, not far from the cotton fields that cars pass on the drive to the border.

“(48-kilometer-tall)”
About 31 miles tall? That’ll keep them out!
Don’t laugh, some of the NeverTrumpers would find that too short.
Astrid did real well in 4th grade arithmetic.
Or whine about it not being new wall...
This is a major breakthrough for AP. It’s no longer “Trump’s Wall.” Now it is a “border wall” and “Trump’s Dream.” Maybe they will eventually get around to calling it what it really is: “critical border defensive perimeter and protection.”
You know she is correct...Remember, this is Common Core math...
There are 13 pix posted with the article. Each has a caption explaining the pic. 12 of the pics have a caption ending with, “Construction began as federal officials revealed a list of Defense Department projects to be cut to pay for President Donald Trump’s wall.”
Damned AP. Always gotta figure a way to slam President Trump. And it’s not “his” wall, it’s “our” wall meant to keep out criminal invaders wanting to come here and suck the gvt teat.
It’s a thing of beauty, all 9.1 meters of it. How did she get 48 or even 4.8 of anything out of 30 feet?
450 miles of border wall by next year? In Arizona,it starts
AP changed the title;)
LOL! Did the AP publish a pic of Blacks picking the cotton? That's all that's needed to polish the optics of this paragraph.
There are three kinds of people in this world -----
Those who can do math.
And those who can't.
Show me a 31 mile tall wall and I’ll show you a 32 mile tall ladder!
She didn't do so well in biology either. There are no cicadas in Yuma. Maybe the buzzing she heard was in her head.
Astrid is the AP’s science/math expert. She’s the only one who can spell “math.” I wonder if she is related to Luigi Galvani.
Ass Turd Galvin?
Yep! She looks to be the type that definitely would think her boyfriend’s appendage is 12 inches...Not 4...
