The Trump administration has awarded a $70 million contract to a construction firm to extend the border wall, marking the first such contract of President Donald Trump’s second term in office.
Granite Construction Co., a California-based company with previous government project experience, will be responsible for building about seven additional miles of the wall in Hidalgo County, Texas, according to a press release by Customs and Border Protection.
CBP said the new wall portion will “close critical openings in the border wall that were left incomplete due to cancelled contracts during the Biden Administration.”
The agency added, “Completing the border wall in these locations will support the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) ability to impede and deny illegal border crossings and the drug- and human-smuggling activities of cartels.” more
It’s all fun and games until the Democrats steal the House and Senate back in ’26 and the impeachments start.
If I recall correctly this had already been funded and materials procured prior to the previous administrations stoppage. Is that money gone now?

@ 0808: any that are still alive can try
I wouldn’t mind it one bit if they spent a little extra to paint the top cap of it with gold paint to give it that Trump signature look!
While the price seems steep, sure, let’s get it done. It appears that it is going to a competent contractor, although the CA address is immediately suspect.
I am Canadian and realize that I have “no dog in this hunt”. Nevertheless, I still think a line of trebuchets would be very effective. Once the illegal is over the border, just put him in the seat and toss him back! If he dies when he lands, that is “too bad”.
Trebuchets would be fine except they need to be aimed AT the wall not over it.
