It's not what we were promised and it's not exactly running on schedule, particularly with a possible Socialist Democrat clamoring for the captains chair in the oval office, which itself could soon be renamed back to the Oral Office, the democrats version harking back to the Clinton era of oral hallway and under desk escapades Slick brought to Pennsylvania Avenue.
In any event it's nice to see some actual physical construction worth noting at least beginning on the long awaited border fence in San Diego, otherwise known as Grand Central of illegal border crossings. This will have an immediate positive impact on California's bleeding budget crisis, and watch for the MSM to bury the success of this project to minimize it's hopeful impact while they attempt to paint it in every negative light they can imagine.
All I can say is finally, and lets keep rolling. Once the fence is complete if ever then we cxan begin to gain a foothold on the immigration in and out of the country implementing some kind of worker visa that makes everyone happy, hopefully we Americans first and foremost.|
Construction Underway on $57M San Diego Border Fence -
FOXNews.com - "SAN DIEGO — Scrapers and bulldozers began filling a deep canyon Friday to make way for a border fence in the southwestern corner of the United States after 12 years of planning, environmental reviews and legal challenges.
The 3 1/2-mile stretch extends from a state park on an oceanfront cliff through a canyon known as Smuggler's Gulch. The gorge was overrun by illegal immigrants until U.S. authorities launched a crackdown in the 1990s that pushed traffic to the remote mountains and deserts of California and Arizona."At a cost of about $16 million a mile, the fence will be far more expensive than fences the U.S. government is building elsewhere along the nation's 1,952-mile border with Mexico. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the average cost along the entire border is $2 million to $3 million a mile.
The stretch near San Diego will cost about $57 million under a contract awarded to Kiewit Corp. of Omaha, Neb., said James Swanson, a Border Patrol special operations supervisor.
The lion's share will pay for filling Smuggler's Gulch with nearly 1.9 million tons of dirt and for building a concrete culvert to handle rainfall flowing downhill from Tijuana, Mexico, Swanson said.
The border is currently marked by a decaying fence made of surplus Navy landing mats. Border Patrol agents swarm the area in jeeps and pickups as they wait for migrants in Tijuana to dash about 2 miles through trees to the closest patch of stores and homes. continued
