Heavy machinery works on Sunday, Oct. 11 on an ongoing project to level a mountainside in the Coronado National Forest in preparation for construction of a segment of the Trump Administration’s border wall through western Santa Cruz County. The worksite seen here is just northwest of Border Monument 127, which marks the point at which the U.S.-Mexico border changes trajectory from an east-west orientation and angles northwest toward Yuma.

A spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers previously told the NI that the mountainside seen here is being leveled by contractor Fisher Sand and Gravel to serve as a staging area for the upcoming wall construction, which is set to begin in late October or early November.

This really explains why a mile here cost more than a mile in the flats - they have to move mountains.

The flat staging area they create on this high ground, will be a Border Patrol asset for a long time to come, commanding the local area.

Pictures remind me of things I saw the Seabees do back in 1952-1953...
Jarheads loved the Seabees... Almost as much as they loved the U.S.S. Missouri...

Honestly never thought I’d see this day, as hard as the RINOs
fought against this sort of thing.

Bush was more interested in helping the illegals than his own
nation.

I think he was weened at 12 or something.
