Continuous 30 foot barrier from Falcon Lake, through the City of Laredo, to meet up with another 52 miles running further North, which has already been funded. The public comment period is open until Tuesday, April 21. Awesome!

Thats OK. My fence is inside my property line as well. If you are caught climbing over it, you are clearly in violation of trespassing.

It is still an option for later.

Laredo is currently the biggest city on the border, without significant barrier. On the Mexican side, in Nuevo Laredo, the hyper violent and anti-American Los Zetas Cartel dominates the territory.
This is going to be excellent infrastructure - a dramatic transformation will occur, in just a year to two.

Them damn low life drug dealers and paid off officials are going to starve in Rio Bravo.
This is the craziest thing. One road into the river and same road out but LE cannot catch them.

WE are the problem.

NO WIN for drug-loving gringos.

Since I don’t do drugs I can not be the problem.
Keep the drugs out and we have no problem.

I think they are getting a pretty good handle on things.
Wouldnt hurt to shoot a few in blatant violation. Sets a good example for future deterrence.

Another huge project ($1.3 billion) has already been funded (but not yet contracted) out of last year’s (2019) Military Construction (MILCON) funds, under the President’s declared emergency. It will start where this project ends - the Laredo Colombia Port of Entry, and continue 52 miles further North. That money was just released from legal injunction late last month, so the contracting process can finally proceed in earnest.
This year’s (2020) additional MILCON (almost $4 billion more dollars) has been announced to include projects somewhere in the Del Rio Sector of the border. I anticipate that it will continue this wall North through Eagle Pass and Del Rio, to Lake Amistad/Box Canyon.
The whole fan to the West and South of San Antonio would then have its borders strongly fortified against illegal pedestrian crossings. Historic.
This will be the longest, strongest and most expensive non-military border wall in human history.

Keep the drugs out and we have no problem.I don't do drugs either but I have to PAY for the ravages of drugs on the idiots who HAVE to have them to cope with life.
The solution is to pressure the countries south of our border who PRODUCE the drugs. THAT we can do...in many ways. Withholding MONEY will always get their attention.
Putting illegals in PRISON is another option. When Pablo ends up in the pokey and can't send home any US$$$ things will change.
First offense = 1 year in prison
Second offense = 2 years in prison
And so on.

“If Americans DIDN’T HAVE TO HAVE their drugs there would be NO CARTEL to fear. WE are the problem”
Cartels also profit from human trafficking for sex purposes, illegal immigrants seeking a free ride on our welfare system, as well as for foreign agents and terrorists. They also extort a percentage from legal trade crossing the border - and from purely domestic Mexican businesses, like fuel. Drugs are just one product line/profit center for them.
