The border wall construction project has been under development for months after the Texas Facilities Commission approved a $167 million contract with Southwest Valley Constructors Co. The project is intended to erect a nearly seven-mile border wall in the Del Rio area. …

At $25M per mile, it’ll be a bargain compared to coping with all those “migrants’.

Way too late to rehabilitate Abbott’s reputation.

“Way too late to rehabilitate Abbott’s reputation.”

I like Abbott. I think he can get caught up in the vox populi, but overall I think he is doing a good job. When I think it could have been Wendy Bortomatic or Beto, Abbott is the much better choice.

From every country in the world. Are there that many brown skinned people in over 150 countries that are fleeing white oppression?

Good for Gov. Greg Abbott. I hope a wall from one end of the border with New Mexico that ends at the Gulf of Mexico will soon become a reality.

So could a national incident result here whereby the Federal government sends in the army to deconstruct the wall while Abbott builds it?

Remember the “bridges not walls” rhetoric?
