(We Build the Wall) clears private riverfront land to build border wall in South Texas
CW39 (Houston) ^ | NOVEMBER 15, 2019 | SANDRA SANCHEZ

We Build the Wall, boasted on social media Thursday that it has begun riverfront land clearing on banks of the the Rio Grande in Mission, Texas, to build a 3.5-mile border barrier on private property.

This is believed to be the first private wall construction in South Texas by this organization, which earlier this year built a section of wall near El Paso in Sunland Park, New Mexico.

The owner of the 6,000-acre riverfront property, Lance Neuhaus, confirmed to Border Report on Thursday that he has given the tax-exempt organization We Build the Wall permission to be on his property.

Looks like it is going in right on the river bank, possibly in the river itself. They are calling it “In-river wall.” They intend to complete this segment before Christmas.

This wall may close (or narrow) some of the gaps left by the exclusions written into the Congressional appropriations (Bentsen State Park and the National Butterfly Center). I have not seen definite reports of where it will start and end.

If it does, then just like their fist project in Sundland Park, NM (El Paso, TX suburb), it would indicate that they are carefully complementing the Governments Wall building efforts.

These will be "new" miles, where there was no previous barrier. It is also among the very busiest miles of the entire border, in terms of illegal crossings.

Uh, still think a hundred yards south of the river would be better.

When the dude was starting the deal, I sent a donation - many here were calling it a scam and saying it was stupid to throw our money away - of course, they also feel that way about the FReepathons....

I encourage them to make their voices relevant:

Guessing this isn’t the private land where the Mexican guy rows gringos across the river to Mexico for $5. Wonder how many illegals he rows back across in that boat which should be empty. How much is the US landowner getting?

So far I have sent them 3 donations at 100 dollars apiece, I just want them to weld my name on one of the columns.

I was one of those calling it a scam.

I was wrong and intend to contribute financially to this section.

Texas Freepers,

If you're of a mind, could you do me a favor and save the above image to your computer? I just want to make sure someone has it if I don't make it.

Thank you,
Windy
