U.S. to Begin Border Wall Construction near Protesters Who Vow to Stop It

This month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced it would begin construction of a wall-fence system running six miles along the border. The system would include a concrete wall that would stand up to an existing river levee and an 18-foot bollard fence on top. The project also calls for the removal of 150 feet of brush in what is considered an enforcement zone. The government would also include detection technology, lighting, an all-weather parallel road, and video surveillance. According to CBP, $145 million has already been awarded for the project.
The wall-fence system is expected to cut through the National Butterfly Center and others. The leaders of the center are fierce opponents to the plan.

How are the migratory animals supposed to get through? A judge needs to slow this down so the EPA can review.

Excavators have already arrived to bulldoze and start clearing land for the border wall.
Construction is slated to begin as early as tomorrow-
I’m angry and scared/
If you devote capacity and solidarity to anyone this week, please keep us in mind- there’s a long fight ahead

So it's $24 Million per mile. That sounds about right for this kind of project. Trump wants 1,000 miles of it in all.

Maybe they can get Bob Carlisle to stand in front of the dozers with his guitar and sing butterfly kisses.

Actually they may be better characterized as citizens and landowners. Our Constitution restricts the power of government to take private property without using proper expropriation process. That is a serious issue if Trump is ordering federal personnel or contractors to take property which has not been properly expropriated.

So we love that the government takes land from citizens now?
That's interesting.

Just saying.

Once the dangerous invasion of illegal, criminal aliens is repelled, and the national emergency is under control, they can take it up in court.

So just 24 billion dollars? That's pockeelt change.
