None of it funded with with DoD money, which has been the subject of lawsuits.
With the other five contracts that have already been awarded in the Rio Grande Valley, about 100 miles are on contract there now - the great bulk of the Sector that had been open - almost all (if not all) of these miles are in areas that had no barrier whatsoever before.
Just getting the Rio Grande Valley done would be a very significant accomplishment. The same with San Diego, or Yuma. President Trump is getting all three done (San Diego in January) - plus hundreds of more miles. And there are still next year's accomplishments to look forward to as well.
Note that this is Border Wall System, not Levee Wall - construction is much quicker for this kind of barrier.
Also note that it starts right at the Falcon Lake Dam Port of Entry, and continues joining segments of existing barrier. This fundamentally closes down huge open corridors to illegal traffic, with very long continuous runs of Wall System. Very extensive. The Rio Grande Valley Sector will be transformed.
The barrier program is seriously rolling out now, as are the various Technology Programs for the border.
65 ALL NEW miles awarded yesterday. Somebody must break the news to Post-Menopausal Ann Coulter.
More good news. Thanks BeauBo.
Excellent.
Despite all the attacks on him, Trump is moving ahead with his agenthe border wall is part of that.da, to MAGA,
Border Wall Ping.
Still not tired of winning! MAGA!
Caddell, one of the prototype builders (in a Joint Venture with Gibraltar), finally gets some of the actual construction work.
AWESOME!
I am impressed with the wall and placement methods being used.
This sucker goes up fast when they put it up.
Excellent. Keep on building that wall.
Plus, with his simple threat to Mexico with tariffs, Mexico is now holding most of the asylum seekers in country and even put troops are their southern border. When is the last time you heard of a large caravan coming from Central America? They are getting the message.
