Apparently Tommy Fisher has never worked on a Government contract before......................

Fisher Industries is a major construction, sand, gravel, steel operation here in North Dakota. They are hardly new to the Federal bidding game and have a good reputation of delivering on time and to specification. Reportedly, Fisher is already building wall on the border for other than the Fed.

**The Army Corps of Engineers has procured around 75 miles but has not awarded $900 million for the project of the $1.35 billion that was in the 2018 omnibus. **

misleading. ‘awarded’ is being used here to substitute for ‘cut the check’. Most of the funds have been ‘committed’.

” a misleading talking point that makes it sound as if Trump’s administration is dawdling on the border wall at the center of the government funding dispute.
The 6 percent figure refers to actual checks that have been cut. But at this early stage of a multi-year construction project, the more relevant figure is how much money has been committed under contract. That’s about 60 percent — 10 times the figure that Murphy and other Democrats have used.”

We need myriad permanent paint mines that explode and cover in a distinctive color (e.g., yellow, for the cowards they are, or RED!). We could also use vast quantities of skunk odorant that sprays all over when the skunk mine explodes. Encourage Africanized bees to hive along the border with preferred structures.

In 1907, President Teddy Roosevelt established a 60 FOOT WIDE EASEMENT the entire length of the border.

*************

Look up the Roosevelt Reservation. It includes CA, NM and AZ but not TX.

Including the cost of the land?

__________________________________________

Are there any published figures on the estimated cost of the land? I’ve tried to find them online, but all I get are partisan articles complaining about the project (citing reason after reason on why it can’t be done). I see many estimates of the total cost being over $20 billion dollars. Apparently this is based on some DHS report that come out in 2017.

I look at the wall and wonder if its purpose will change to keeping people in the US when the next dim president is elected.

The Davis-Bacon act should be repealed, and all public-sector unions should be outlawed. Both are anathema to a free society.
