Trump's border wall IS being built - with work under way on first prototypes of barrier at special site in San Diego where agents are braced for massive protests
Daily Mail/UK, Sep 26, 2017

The federal government said Tuesday that contractors began building eight prototypes of President Donald Trump's proposed border wall with Mexico, hitting a milestone toward a key campaign pledge.

Construction in San Diego began three months behind schedule after those who didn't win contracts protested.

The building process will last about 30 days, Customs and Border Protection said.

The agency may pick several winners, or none. It said in a news release that the prototypes 'will inform future design standards which will likely continue to evolve to meet the U.S. Border Patrol's requirements.'

But the agency is also braced for massive protests and is beginning construction under tight security, the San Deigo Union-Tribune reported.

Each prototype will be up to 30 feet high and 30 feet long.  Bidding documents say four of the prototypes are to be solid concrete and four are to be made of 'other materials.'

One model: This is one version of how Trump's border wall could look. Construction is now beginning on the prototypes

Border patrol agents are going to try and break through the prototypes .... and then a new set of specs, if required, will be issued along with a request for updated models.   (Good to have a businessman/builder involved at the top.  ^-^ )

Awesome.  It's good to see some activity.  The Establishment is dragging it's feet,  but hopefully stubbornness on Trump's part will win the day. 


We've certainly spent a lot more money on far stupider ideas.

I heard Mark Simone talking about it this morning.

I’m not a fan of the wall, but I’m happy to see Trump prove his naysayers wrong, again, for the umpteenth time. Winning!

Trump won. He could care a flying f**k about the wall or who pays until 2020. Take a knee until 2019.

Given all the politicians that pander to us and once we "buy"  them,  they stab us in the back,  it is refreshing to have a politician that once "bought"  stays bought. 


I do not give a crap whether he personally believes in what I want to happen so long as he makes it happen.
