The Owner of Fisher Industries, who is behind the border fence project in Mission, spoke with CBS 4 on Tuesday and wants to clear up the misconceptions about his border security plans.
Tommy Fisher, president and CEO of Fisher Sand & Gravel Co., which is based out of Tempe, AZ, purchased three miles of river front in Mission from landowner, Lance Neuhaus.
Despite there being a state and federal temporary restraining order against Fisher Industries, Fisher said they are allowed to prepare for the construction of the border fence.
"We're allowed to dig the trench, where eventually the wall will go in, place the [steel] rebar behind us to where we're also putting the electrical condo in,” said Fisher as he pointed to one of the trenches.
Since the temporary restraining order prohibits the company from constructing the fence, Fisher said his crews instead practiced putting the fence together to see what it would look like and hopes to show the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) the difference between their fence and the government’s border wall...
Fisher said one of the biggest concerns people have is that the border fences his company designed will not allow water to flow through, but in a test conducted Tuesday, it showed otherwise.
"We went with a galvanized bollard so there is no rust or dust. We spaced it at five inches, not three and a half inches like a lot of the other fences, so the water can get through,” said Fisher. “But also, the animals that people are concerned [about] the ocelots and some of the smaller animals that migrate back and forth."
Fisher added that it would be difficult to put a ladder up against the wall because there is nothing to hang the ladder on.

How about a mine field on the Mehican side with a 440 volt charged wire on top for fun.

Just reading about the ocelot. Very interesting and beautiful cat. They say only 60 or are left in TX.
“Just reading about the ocelot. Very interesting and beautiful cat. They say only 60 or are left in TX.”
Can they be trained?
60 or so left? Seems like proponents of Darwinism and natural selection would say they are about to become an unsuccessful species.
If they argue that Man should be a good Steward....that’s a bit hypocritical, no?
