A private group backing President Donald Trump's border wall has kicked off a new project on the US-Mexico border in an attempt to showcase its barrier designs and shore up support for the President's signature issue.

It's not the first time that We Build the Wall, a group founded by an Air Force veteran, has had a presence in the border. In May, the group, which had raised millions of dollars in a GoFundMe campaign, broke ground on a stretch of wall on private property in New Mexico.

Similar to the New Mexico project, the group is building on private land in the Rio Grande Valley region in Texas, a strategy that shields it from government intervention. It's also using the same contractor: Fisher Industries, a company that's captured Trump's attention.

The music and editing is a little too stylized for my taste, but this video shows what they're doing in Texas:

...hmm...seems to me that there was a group that was ordered by a judge to stop building the wall.  I wonder if this is the same group??
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The Judge was halting construction due to Trump's source of the funds. That didn't involve the private builders.

The private builders were halted due to city permits.

City says private border wall didn't have a building permit and orders construction to 'cease and desist'
