Saw this and was suitably impressed with the speed and efficiency of installation efforts ongoing- funny that you don't see this in the MSM isn't it? The quality of construction is nothing short of amazing.

Our President is not playing games, he is building what he promised to build and I hope it is infuriating leftists everywhere.

If only...

One of the features of the inner wall, however, is that they made the upper part dark colored- guess what gets ridiculously scalding hot in the southern California sun? Best part is, it is green technology doing the work. Thank you mr. Sun!

this is good to see.

*Yawn* Another Seventy Miles Of Border Wall

Despite the mainstream media continuing to insist that the President isn’t building any new border walls, sections of new or vastly improved “barrier systems” continue to appear as if by magic. And last week these efforts appeared to kick things up another gear, though you probably didn’t hear about it on most cable news outlets. The Department of the Interior is transferring more than 500 acres of federal land to the Department of the Army. The land will be used to begin construction on another 70 miles of border wall, so make room for the construction brigades, folks. (Epoch Times)

Approximately 560 acres of federal land will be transferred to the U.S. Department of the Army to facilitate work on roughly 70 miles of border barrier, the Interior Department announced on Sept. 18.

The transfer of administrative jurisdiction of the federal land is in response to a series of applications submitted by the Army for construction or replacement of barriers along the southern border. The land transfer doesn’t include national parks or any Native American land.

“I’ve personally visited the sites that we are transferring to the Army, and there is no question that we have a crisis at our southern border,” Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt said in a statement. “Absent this action, national security and natural resource values will be lost.”

Anticipating the predictable backlash and lawsuits from Democrats and their supporters (who keep insisting they don’t support open borders), it appears that the land in question was chosen carefully. None of it includes national parks or lands belonging to indigenous tribes. None of it is on private property. Anyone looking to challenge this move will have a tough time demonstrating they have standing to do so.

The sections of border in question are among our more troubled stretches, dealing with significant rates of illegal crossings. One region is in both Luna and Hidalgo Counties in New Mexico. They’re located just to the west of El Paso, Texas. There are already plenty of Army troops assigned in the region so they should be able to get to work there pretty quickly.

The next piece is in Yuma County, Arizona, near the California border. The final stretch will be constructed in San Diego County, California. That’s one of our busiest areas for border traffic and has been featured in many news reports covering this topic. It’s also badly in need of upgrades and repairs.

Seventy more miles still isn’t going to get us anywhere near the goal of a major barrier stretching from sea to shining sea, nor do I know if we’ll ever reach that goal. But as long as construction is taking place in the areas where it’s physically easiest to reach and cross our border, the impact on illegal immigration will continue to grow. There are stretches along that border where only the toughest and most determined outdoorsman could survive for any significant period of time. A few people will make it across, but for the most part Mother Nature does the job for us.

As soon as these new sections are complete, you can expect the President to show up at at least one of them for a photo op. And perhaps he should. Of course, somebody on CNN will come up with a reason to say the wall segments “aren’t new” or don’t count or something. But if the barrier system prevents easy crossings, who cares? Let them talk. We just need a secure border.

Ideally, we would have two border walls, about 50 yards apart. On the off chance that a fraction of a percent of these invaders get past the first wall, they would be captured by US troops landing in helicopters between the walls. Sitting ducks. Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Too expensive. If we had that kind of space between the walls, I'd be in favor of simply mining it.

A moat filled with water and alligators between the 2 fences and the second fence being electrified would be my idea of fun!

Someone needs to tell Ann Coulter.

During the Spring and Summer of 1968 with 3Rd-Bn-8Th Marines at GITMO Cuba. On the Cuban side there were fences, minefields and guard towers. The Cuban military did not hesitate to laydown automatic weapons fire(Blue-Green Tracer).There wasn't the stampede like on our southern border but there were fence jumpers. When individuals/people are desperate you would be surprised what they are willing to do.

I worked with a guy who was stationed at Gitmo with the Marines in the early 2000's and said the same thing. They patrolled the US side of the fence and every so often some poor bastard from Cuba would try and make a run for it and they couldn't do much but watch as the person would be dragged away and shortly afterwards there would be a single gunshot heard.

I think the Army should set something up like this on the south side of the wall. Except if you trip a laser, it fries your no-good illegal ass...

Our Pres. just keeps on keepin his promises!! The MSM can't do a spin on it, so they just ignore it, but the American people are finding out about it, and that is what counts!!

Yeah, the maggots keep lying that no new wall being built. Here is one more reason why they deserve to be called fake news and enemy of the American people.

I haven’t heard her pie hole yapping about the wall not being built lately. But then it could be me choosing not to listen to her.
