These three "new" miles (where no previous barrier existed, are in addition to 13 more "new" miles nearby, just East and West of McAllen Texas. Those projects have started their clearing and roadwork, and will soon start installing barrier (the first of the heavy flood control levee type of barrier, of President Trump's program).
Ten minutes later, some d!ckhead District Court Judge in Michigan will issue an order blocking construction...
how long is the border?
Land mines would work. Cheaper too.
Why don’t they just put up some signs: “no pisar el césped”
It will do about as much good as three miles that don’t include the town.
$42 million for three miles? $2,650 a foot? Do you think anybody is making any money? Naw.
I am fed up with gubment and politicians. The whole lot of them are crooks. If they are not directly crooks they are just as bad if they don’t stand up and condemn and persecute or prosecute the crooks. The couldn’t organize a piss up in a pub.
This is a badly needed section. I talked to someone today from the area, right now there is not only no fence of any kind but there is thick brush all along the river there and it is easy for smugglers and other illegal activity to hide and enter at will. It is like the wild west there and they have corrupt local officials and scared people who live there. The people living there are truly scared and deal with cartel retaliation big time. The person I talked to said this segment is vital and will push the illegal traffic to an area that is easier to watch and catch illegal traffic.
That area will of course need more fence as soon as possible, but the person I talked to said this is a blessing and will make a huge difference.
