80 miles of 'waterborne barrier' to be built on Rio Grande in South Texas
 
HARLINGEN, Texas (Border Report) — The Department of Homeland Security announced Friday it has awarded $4.5 billion worth of contracts to build 230 new miles of border barrier along the Southwest border, including 80 miles of “waterborne barrier” to be installed in the Rio Grande in South Texas.
 
About 17 miles of waterborne barrier will be built in Cameron County south of the border town of Brownsville at a cost of $96.1 million. The barrier, which is expected to be constructed toward the Gulf and just south of SpaceX, was awarded to BCCG Joint Venture, of Montgomery, Alabama, DHS said.

Contracts for two other waterborne projects — a 23-mile long project, and another 40 miles long — also were awarded to BCCG Joint Venture. The barrier is to be built in the Del Rio Sector near Eagle Pass, Texas.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You're right, Joe.
The goal is to get it up and working as quickly as possible (trying not to compromise on construction quality).

Only so much time left.
