Texas Governor Gregg Abbott will travel to the Border town of Rio Grande City for a press conference on their Border Wall Program this Saturday, Dec. 18 at 11 a.m.

Texas seems to be moving out smartly, to get construction underway (groundbreaking reportedly in the next two weeks - maybe even at this Saturday's press conference).

This seems to be a really significant effort. They have already identified a billion dollars, and are now showing the ability to quickly execute those funds into action.

These first segments seem wisely chosen, to close some really high traffic routes.

I am impressed.

I can see this becoming a situation. Fedgov steps in, seizes property, demolishes wall. Since it’s Texas, that’s merely chapter 1.

I’m impressed too.

glad to see power of the people getting things done right that DC has thrown the anchor out on.

appreciate your updates.

I'm worried about the construction company being from NY.

Not related, but for some reason, while reading this, it popped into my head about Obunghole ordering the destruction of the die and plans of the best stealth fighter we have (F22), so no more can be made.

Abbott set to begin 2022 campaign

Doesn’t it make sense to use the companies that worked on the wall under Trump?

Seems they already have skin in the game.

We need a smart guy to figure out how to repurpose used wind turbine blades into border fencing.
