The first 57 miles DoD funded is going to have to contracted out again - the original contract was just nullified due to a successful protest from a losing bidder (Fisher Sand and Gravel).

It sounds like this 256 miles will be in addition to those 57, but it is not definite in this story.

Tell Fisher Sand and Gravel to pound sand... get out of the way, you twerps!

How the he’ll do we go from laying TEN miles of railroad track every day in the 1860s to a half mile of fence per day in the 2010s?

15 miles a month? 180 miles a year? I thought Trump was talking about 400 new miles by the election. (And that’s too slow for me.) It at least sounds like our defense arteries have completely hardened with a bad case of bureaucratic sclerosis. (I mean, we actually won a war a mere 75 years ago!)

Drop in the bucket. But at least we get a drop. Of course, they’ll just wander down a few miles to come in same as always.
