Another huge project ($1.3 billion) has already been funded (but not yet contracted) out of last year’s (2019) Military Construction (MILCON) funds, under the President’s declared emergency. It will start where this project ends - the Laredo Colombia Port of Entry, and continue 52 miles further North. That money was just released from legal injunction late last month, so the contracting process can finally proceed in earnest.
This year’s (2020) additional MILCON (almost $4 billion more dollars) has been announced to include projects somewhere in the Del Rio Sector of the border. I anticipate that it will continue this wall North through Eagle Pass and Del Rio, to Lake Amistad/Box Canyon.
The whole fan to the West and South of San Antonio would then have its borders strongly fortified against illegal pedestrian crossings. Historic.
This will be the longest, strongest and most expensive non-military border wall in human history.
I LIKE it.
Article states the so-called “enforcement zone” is approx. 150 feet from the river to the fence. It seems like quite a distance? Only saw pics/videos of “Fisher Wall” and it appears to have but 50 feet or so between Wall and river. Is this your take on the distance or maybe the photos distorted the actual distance of the Fisher Wall?
