Breitbart:
Federal officials announced the award of a contract to allow construction of new sections of border walls in the Rio Grande Valley Sector of South Texas. The $145 million construction project is slated to begin in February 2019.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced the award of a contract to build approximately six miles of border walls along the levee system in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, according to information provided to Breitbart News by U.S. Border Patrol officials. The contract, awarded on October 31 to Slsco Ltd, provides $145 million for the project which will begin in February 2019, officials stated.
The project calls for the construction and installation of “tactical infrastructure” to include 18 feet tall steel bollard walls which will be placed on top of reinforced sections of concrete levee walls. Contractors will also create a new “enforcement zone” by removing 150 feet of vegetation along the new wall system. read more here
‘Bout goddamn time too. We only had to wait 2 years for that asshole McCain to die for it to finally get started.
6 miles? Are you shitting me? 1,994 miles to go.
Six miles were done and only 1948 miles to go!!!!!!!! All we need now is another 4.5 T to finish the wall!!!!
Razor wire, A beautiful site… now can we electrify it?
I love the smell of burnt beans in the morning!
And after Tuesday how about a HARD push on E-Verify. It would at least as much as the wall and also cut down on ID theft.
Let’s meet these lefty morons half way and use solar and wind power to electrify it too! I’m sure that will please them since they are always looking for compromise.
Place the new wall just enough inside the US/Mexico border (a few yards) so that our agents can shoot the illegal aliens as invaders.
Build the darn WALL-ALL OF IT!
We must STOP this insanity! SPREAD THE WORD on your FB/twitter sites!

$145,000,000.00 for 6 miles of border wall? You’ve got to be kidding me. Are they making it out of gold?
I’m wondering why no one has started a Go Fund Me site for the wall. Or does the outfit that runs Go Fund Me block such efforts by Americans who want to defend their country that way? Is there an alternative way for us to try to independently raise funds for the wall since the goddamned Congress has neither the balls nor the patriotism to do it? I know Mrs. Enraged and I would contribute to such an effort. And, YES, I know that the goddamned feds SHOULD be building it with our taxes but it seems clear to me that the swamp will do everything it can to keep us waiting far too long for positive and appropriate action.
My apologies if this topic has been addressed already on anther thread.
6 miles? … starting in Feb. 2019??? … does anyone know how notoriously slow gubmint contractors are? c/o’s & over-runs are sop … (can I be a consultant?)
at this rate, by the end of Trump’s second term, we’ll have …. what? …. 15 miles?
… be still my foolish heart!
