August 7, 2019 September 2019 December 2020 16% Hidalgo County, Texas 11 1.8 The levee wall system will be very similar to previously constructed levee wall in the RGV area during 2008, but the system will also include all-weather roads, lighting, enforcement cameras, and other related technology to create a complete enforcement zone. CBP’s designs for levee wall system consist of steel bollards at a minimum height of 18 feet atop a concrete wall to the height of the existing flood levee. Construction will take place in locations where no barriers currently exist. The project area begins at the intersection of Conway Road and the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) levee in Mission, Texas and extends eastward to approximately one quarter mile west of Stewart Road and the IBWC levee south of San Juan, Texas. $81 M $7 M FY19 appropriations Southwest Valley Constructors https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/contract-awards-new-levee-wall-and-border-wall-gates-rio-grande

The fence is coming along nicely.
It needs to coupled with ramped up enforcement.
Stopping the flow still leaves us with millions of fraudulently documented foreigners.
Winning is when outflow exceeds influx.

Hmmm. I’m thinkin’ we draw a straight line from the Gulf to San Diego and that’s the new border. Relocate those living in the path. Who’s with me? :-)

I wish I could share your enthusiasm. It’s not coming along nearly fast enough. At this rate, even if Trump wins re-election and has a 2nd term, only a fraction of the border will be sealed off by a wall.

The number of apprehensions doubled from last year to this year, and it’s hard to tell if it’s because we’re better at catching people OR if more are coming OR both. All I know is that over 800,000 apprehensions of illegals occurred in 2019 (and we’re still not done). That’s almost as many people as we allow to enter the country legally every year.

Even though the % of repeat offenders is dropping, since more people have been apprehended the actual number of repeat offenders has increased. This still tells me that most illegals do not care enough about the punishment of trying to enter the U.S. unlawfully.

I have been in the Big Bend Country of Texas and you can walk right up to the Rio Grande and cross the river. There are no fences what so ever. Looking at the map there are no current plans for any.

Indeed. There are many miles of the border that are currently not under "active" plan for a build, according to that site anyway.

The Rio Grande has to be part of that in the next phase...assuming the non whistle blower whistle blower induced fraud of an "impeachment" doesn't turn away too many (I)'s, (D)'s and "suburban women" that voted for Trump last time...causing him to loose re-election.

We also need to take back the House with those that actually support Trump's agenda so-as to fully fund getting all of the wall built, and quickly.

How much of this is new “wall”?
How much is replacing existing “fence”?

The site you linked does a good gob of listing all the contracts awarded, but makes a systematic error in reporting the miles completed.

For example, today (13 Nov 2019) they report 148 miles completed, but 81 miles actually are.

The problem is that they assume that the “Percent complete” reported for the project, means percentage of miles complete. It does not.

“Percent complete” of the contracts awarded, actually means the percentage of reimbursable work on that contract, not the miles complete. A lot of reimbursable work takes place before the first bollard panel is raised. Site surveys, environmental/regulatory compliance work, design engineering, material sourcing and pre-positioning, hiring/training crews, site clearing/prep, potentially significant road work, etc.

Another large round of contract awards - those to be funded with the $3.6 billion of Military Construction funds - should be getting ready to drop soon.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is hearing a case about using this money, this week and next. Likely the Supreme Court will have to weigh in as well. The last time (for the other Military funding (Counter Narcotics) being used), the Supreme Court ruled quickly, because it concerns a Presidentially declared emergency.

So likely it will be a month to three before that major round of awards, but that round of contracts will get us up to a real breakneck pace of construction as we head into Summer.

We have sped up to about 2 miles of wall system completed per week already, but will likely hit a rate of a mile per day next year. Also by then, the critical Rio Grande Valley sector will be a beehive of construction activity, based on contracts already awarded.

I’m not sure this is accurate. There should be over 300 miles of upgraded or new wall completed by the end of the year by most accounts I’ve read. This only shows about 35 miles completed.

Is this only referencing new wall, and not the replacement of old dilapidated former wall as well?

17% of the wall has been completed THIS YEAR.

That’s not too shabby.

If the same amount is completed next year, over one third of the wall will be completed.

“The Rio Grande has to be part of that in the next phase.”

On the spreadsheet that you posted, we can see that six contracts, totaling 108 miles, have already been awarded (Starr, Cameron and Hidalgo Counties).

Contractors are afforded some necessary time required to start work, after they are given formal notice to proceed by the Government Contracting Officer. Typically, that has been running about 10 weeks, but the Rio Grande Valley contracts seem to lag longer than average, likely because of the complex real estate issues there.

The bottom line is that the great bulk of the mileage needed in the Rio Grande Valley Sector of the border has already been contracted (with legally unassailable direct Congressional appropriations), and is already starting construction. Those six contracts include multiple segments, so multiple crews will likely be working simultaneously on the larger contracts. We will probably have a dozen crews working down there early next year.

So the Rio Grande Valley Sector (down river from Falcon Lake) is really part of an earlier phase of the program. The three biggest corridors for illegal crossings (Rio Grande Valley, San Diego, and Yuma) have already been very strongly addressed, even if the Administration never receives another dollar (unlikely).

Next year’s money seems likely to address Laredo Sector (North of Falcon Lake). Laredo is the biggest city remaining on the border without significant barrier system. They are also the closest place to drive around to, as wall goes up in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.

Laredo also has a hyper-violent drug cartel (Los Zetas) that is a particular concern. Some of next year’s funding will also likely target miles of importance to countering the operations of other particular cartels as well.

DHS has painstakingly analyzed their priority list of border infrastructure, and the earlier phases of the Trump Program have already addressed the most important ones, where the bulk of traffic has traditionally crossed (San Diego is nearing completion - estimated for January). The Government work is essentially complete for those segments, and it is now just up to the Contractors to perform.

If we get the money requested for next year, it would fund wall system down to the 17th highest priority corridors on the DHS list, essentially shutting all the easy routes with barrier, and essentially covering the remaining harder routes with persistent surveillance.

I to feel the same. I Believe the rate of apprehension increase is due to the fact that the areas were the wall has been completed is funneling the illegals into smaller area. Were they can more easily be apprehend more quickly. In the area that is under construction is more then likely not were the illegals are being caught . Do to the large amount of working going on. But is in the more isolated areas were the wall has not been completed.
