As workers nearly complete the first prototypes of President Trump’s border wall, next week the Department of Homeland Security will begin testing which designs best deter and prevent illegal immigrants from entering the U.S. U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded eight contracts to six companies to build the prototypes. Four are made of reinforced concrete, the others involve alternate materials, mostly steel. Each model is 18 to 30 feet high and 30 feet long. Contractors have until Oct. 26 to complete their design before testing begins. All of the construction is taking place a few miles east of San Diego. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/10/19/first-look-at-8-prototypes-trumps-big-beautiful-border-wall.html |
I would have secured the land and dealt with the environmental impact issues before I designed a wall. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke says the wall must go on the Mexico side of the RioGrande because the US is not going to put it on the US side and cede the river to Mexico. I doubt that is going to happen. And the Rio floods, doubt a wall will make that anything but worse. |
Dumbasses. They will have to cede the Rio Grande to Mexico if they insist on building the wall. |
If you were planning on actually building a wall you would get the land. There is no money for the wall. This is just grandstanding. |
