Clearing of ground is now underway to construct massive Levee Wall System, East of McAllen, Texas.

A separate segment West of McAllen (near Bentsen State Park) is also now underway. These are the first two, of the eight contracts awarded in the Rio Grande Valley, to break ground.

This construction is for totally "New" miles, where no barrier existed before. Almost 100 "New" miles have now been contracted in the Rio Grande Valley. Over the next few months, we will ramp up to a rate of about two miles per week, just in the Rio Grande Valley.

Elsewhere along the border, we are currently completing about two miles per week in total, across several projects. Early next year, the rate should be up to about a mile per day, in total of all the projects underway. Potentially at some point, there could be a peak rate approaching two miles per day.

660 bollard panels (eight feet each) make up one mile.

As of 7 October, the Border Patrol Chief reported 71 miles completed.

Lies! Never Trumper Freepers said there is no wall!

More “New” miles underway in the Rio Grande Valley.

One other contract for “New” miles in the Valley is already under construction, and six more have been awarded - 95 miles in total down there.

The Rio Grande Valley will be substantially buttoned up in President Trump’s first term.

MAGA!

Thank you in your constant effort to keep us all informed on this important subject!!!

About time. Maybe the Mexican Army can see the border with a big wall since they can’t see it as they “mistakenly” cross over the US bridge there.

“Planned Border Wall Construction Breaks Ground..”

While the Dems continue to only break wind.

You know, it’s a real shame this had to happen, but the Leftists, illegal immigration activists, the illegal immigrants, the coyotes, the drug cartels, and the Mexican government, all made it a necessary effort.

I don’t like that small cemetery cut off. I don’t 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.

Thanks Leftists, illegal immigration activists, the illegal immigrants, the coyotes, the drug cartels, and the Mexican government.

When someone asks, these are the folks who forced the wall on us.

Not Trump!

“660 bollard panels (eight feet each) make up one mile.”

I hope these are at least 30 feet high.
