From CBP (https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/updated-contract-award-new-border-wall-system-rio-grande-valley):
"This project will include a 30 foot tall steel bollard wall, all-weather roads, lighting, enforcement cameras, and other related technology to create a complete enforcement zone. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2020, pending availability of real estate, in locations where no barriers currently exist.
The contract was awarded to Randy Kinder Excavating, Inc. for a total contract value, including options, of $175,577,000. This project consists of four non-contiguous segments, which will connect to other new border wall segments, within Roma, Rio Grande City, Escobares, La Grulla and the census designated place of Salineño, Texas. This project is funded by CBP’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 and 2019 appropriations.
Pursuant to the FY 2019 appropriation, CBP completed additional consultation with local elected officials from Starr County who represent the areas of Roma, Rio Grande City, Escobares, La Grulla and the census designated place of Salineño concerning the proposed alignment and design of the planned border wall system in the affected areas."
Good news.
Maybe Mexico will help fund this section to keep the Gringos with the Corona Virus out of Mexico.
I love all this good news.
If you’re walking, 15 miles is more than a day delay.
“If you’re walking, 15 miles is more than a day delay.”
Also, with all the new surveillance and sensors now flooding out along the border (faster than barrier), the cops are likely on their way to interview you, long before you get 15 miles.
Yay!
Yay!
