Not. Yet
“I hope these are at least 30 feet high.”
We will have to see. The concept for the levee wall was originally 18 foot bollards, on top of the concrete levee wall (which would vary in height according to local elevation, relative to the flood high water mark, but 8-10 feet of concrete base was common).
There seems to have been more of a shift toward 30 footers across the board, as the program has progressed - it may be one of the standard options that the Government can exercise on these contracts. They are still building some 18 footers in rural New Mexico, but most of the current construction are now 30 footers.
With a tight installation of anti-climb plate at the top, and a few rolls of concertina, 30 footers will deter or defeat all but the most elite intruders (like circus acrobats, or international jewel thieves). Even those few will be detected by the technology package that goes in with the bollards, and the chase will be on. Actually, 18 footers with anti-climb plate were considered over-the-top high security, until President Trump came along. The new stuff is really a complete showstopper for the average man in the street - just totally out of the question.
Thanks, BeauBo, for keeping us well informed.
Also, We Build the Wall announced planning for Project 3. But again, no hint as to where.
Thanks Don O,
Hope we hit 100 by Christmas.
Looking forward to hearing about We Build the Wall, project 2.
I dont like that small cemetery cut off. I dont like that road that was obviously used, to have to be cut off.
Those small negatives are the price we have to pay to
get our immigration back under control.
So be it.

Don’t find a definitive photo of the area but it will
all be north of the Rio and south US Hwy 281.
I know what you mean. There will be plenty of examples of this sort of thing. Like you intimate, what choice is there?
All the crime that is associated with this, and then the negatives down the road as they vote, it has to stop.
All one has to do is look at the state of CA. to see the damage done from illegal immigration open border system!!!
I look at it ever day.
You’re more right than you could possibly imagine.
