The federal government Wednesday broke ground in California to replace a decades-old decaying barrier.... this is the first border wall replacement project awarded under President Donald Trump.

Customs and Border Protection is replacing a 2.25-mile section of border fencing constructed in the 1990s using scrap metal with a 30-foot-high bollard-style wall just south of downtown Calexico. The project covers an area west of the Calexico West Port of Entry, according to the agency.

Smuggling organizations damaged and breached this outdated version of a border wall several hundred times during the last two years, resulting in costly repairs.

SWF Constructors of Omaha, Nebraska won an $18 million contract to replace the Calexico wall,,, about 120 miles east of San Diego,,, in November after the administration waived environmental and other project reviews for the project.

18 million for a 2.25 mile long wall, that averages to 8 million per mile, with a nearly 2000 mile border it's a good thing Mexico's gonna pay for it

Trump doesn't need The Wall to get re-elected.  Just keep the Markets from tanking and keep us out of a WWIII and he'll be fine.

The judge whom President Trump once attacked for his Mexican heritage has ruled in favor of the administration in a lawsuit attempting to block Trump's porposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whose parents immigrated from Mexico, ruled Tuesday against a legal challenge to the wall over environment waivers granted by the Department of Homeland Security.

The ruling means that the administration will be able to continue waiving the regulations to build barriers on the border.

The waiver authority to build barriers along the border has been used a number of times dating back to the George W. Bush administration, and it has been upheld by the courts every time it has been challenged.

President Trump is scheduled to visit the border wall prototypes next month.

A day after a U.S. District Judge ruled that the Trump administration has the right to waive environmental laws to start building the border wall....

President Trump said today he would block portions of the border wall that California wants built now until the funding for the entire southern wall is approved and funded....

President Trump's warning today could be a sign that he may try to stall the efforts on the Calexico West Port of Entry, until the entire wall is approved....

Or, he could be laying a smoke screen since he probably can't get funding without DACA and his budget is through the roof already. DACA/Wall suspended helps with the budget problem. You just never know what he is up to, and it doesn't matter what he says as all stories, promises and explanations are subject to revision on Twitter tomorrow morning anyway. If it happens, it happens. If it don't, it don't. Don't spend time worrying about it.

On Tuesday...US President Donald Trump is heading to California, a state at the forefront of resistance to his anti-immigration agenda....

Air Force One will touch down Tuesday morning at Miramar Air Station, in southern California to inspect the prototypes of the border Wall.. in Otay Mesa... a community in the southern section of the city of San Diego, just north of the U.S.–Mexico border.

Rehashes his election win in detail for 15 mins during his latest cult rally while asking, "You like me, don't you"? "I think you do...I like you..I love you!" 

What a joke & cheap POS..

Looks like he's trying to increase the personal endearment level among his followers as the screws tighten. The kinda guy that when impeachment & removal is shown to be totally warranted & should both happen, would secretly delight in riots/killing around the country in his name if that came to pass.

The state of California has gone rogue....passing SB 54, designating California an official sanctuary state for immigrants living in the country illegally.....

Why will prominent black causcus legislators not DISAVOW Farakhan?

 

Are they not concerned with ending all forms of racist rhetoric, racist policies, racial groupings, and judging by the color of skin?

Again, you misconstrued my post & read/wrote into it what is not there. It had nothing at all to do with race or racism...didn't even enter my mind. But it did point to his overblown ego, self-centeredness & obsessive need for personal approval & loyalty. Nothing new or overly unusual for many politicians except in how excessive & pathological it seems to be with him. 

I do seem to remember how Obama was always being villified here for being such a massive divider. By comparison, Trump is the epitome of divisiveness...all about him & us vs them.

You seem to lack basic reading comprehension skills on many levels. I already addressed Trump’s strategy for the liberal biased media that is dishonest, partisan and dangerous.  His strategy is working, and that is called “pragmatic.” It might cause his detractors (like you) to label Trump a variety of psychoanalytical and pop psychology terms, like “ego maniac, narcissist, so driven for approval,” etc. His job is to keep public approval and loyalty from his staff, so I miss your other point entirely.


Obviously..unless you're being intellectually dishonest, your ideas of leadership & integrity are different than mine. And someone needs to tell Donnie that's what the role of Potus is..a leadership one in which he lacks sorely.

One by one, DT is eliminating anyone not willing to rubber stamp his worldview & agenda. The adults in the room were only there as props to fully ensure GOP complicity. Now that much it has been accomplished, Trump can freewheel & his allegiance to Putin/Russia is alarmingly obvious to anyone not a part of his rally cult. His impeachment cannot come soon enough. All he has created  is far greater divisiveness, total chaos & dysfunction. He is & always was in far over his head....completely unfit for the office in every way & a clear and present danger.

So as my long gone, West Tx granddad used to say, "don't be funny". Or try to blow smoke up my way in terms of who & what Trump is & what he represents.

Never liked Louis F... Believe his group killed Malcom X .. .

Nothing wrong with the Black Panthers ... They just got tired of being hasseled , and illegally arrested ... Did plenty of good things as well ,like free breakfast and lunch programs ..Health care ... Many sects promoted unity and were 
vs
 Racism of any kind ... Bobby Seale especially ..

When Trump , came to Buffalo it was disgusting ... Never seen so many confederate flags in my city ... Also had a small group of wanna be tough skin heads walking around shouting racist trash, they hid behind the police when confronted ...


I will never understand how a woman could support a man who has bragged about sexual assault ..Nasty Pedophile used to sneak back stage at miss teen usa ...Gawking at naked kids ..

I worked in hotels for years , the stories of his disgusting behavior ran rampant among most staff that worked for him ...

You cannot read what I wrote and the concepts fly over your head. Pretty lame excuse to hide yourself away from a debate. Typical leftist position BTW.      1/ YOU ARE A RACIST, and your comment was racist and thoughtless ("Sad thing is the toothless mouth breathers at the klan rally eat this crap up...")   2/ If I said that at an Obama rally at a black church where Farakhan was in attendance "Sad thing is the big jawed, buck toothed, wide nose breathers at the Nation of Islam eat this crap up..." I would be called a racist.   3/ I do not have cable and NEVER watch FOX News. TV is a waste of time. Good shows I will catch later on youtube (CSI, Big Bang Theory, etc). Deal with facts YOU KNOW to be true. THIS IS WHY YOU ARE SHALLOW and INCAPABLE of debate.    4/ YOU LOST. You lose b/c you see that you have no position worthy to stand on. You gave up. Nothing personal, btw (except that you are RACIST. Go back to school. Re-read what I wrote regarding the divisive Obama and his disingenous positions regarding social justice were all a fraud. GAME OVER.

 

 

Hey clown ...what does obama have to do with me ????   Is it bc we are black that you link me to him ????

 

 no one in my 43 years alive has called me racist , except some clown on a message board ...

 

Also i am a NOT a democrat , or left , or whatever you brainwashed clowns believe you need to divide people into ...

 

The mouth breathers i am refering to were chanting the n word and other hate nonsense ....pretended to be tough , but hid behind the police when confronted ...

 

 

You can worship a lunatic sexual predator con artist  russian owned dictator if you want , thats your choice as a free american 

Would not surprise me if youre onw of packers1992 safs

And you probably never told anyone else that you APPROVE OF A RACIST and leader of a HATE GROUP (officilly declared so by the SPLC) like FARAKHAN, who wants the seperation of whites and blacks, and blames all whites and future generations of whites (for example a 5 yr old white girl in kindergarten, according to Farakhan, is a "blue eyed devil.") for slavery (which is false on many levels but too complicated for you). Now you introduced something new, and said "They were CHANTING the N word..." I find that EXTREMELY UNLIKELY. Anyone going to a Trump rally in BUFFALO would go in and get out, and bee-line for their cars. I am certain they were waving US flags, not a Confederate flag. Noone in their right mind would troll someone in a crowd, use a racist slur, esp at a campaign rally representing the future President. The problems at Trump rallies were deliberately caused by paid instigators (proven), and inside Trump rallies you would find DIVERSITY, which includes all races under the Sun, esp blacks. I don't believe you. "Chanting?" C'mon.  No, I do not "worship" Trump. I already pointed out in this forum that there were other competent billionaires out there, with no desire to troll his enemies. But this is the style of the Boss, and I can deal with it, just like I dealt with Obama's effeminate style (gender confusing). Obama is the divider, and he does so on the sly. I pointed out how he has defrauded and perverted "social justice" for political gains. He wanted us to feel our racial identities. Well, at the end of 8 years, he got UNINTENDED results. I don't think he REALLY WANTED "white folks" to start feeling it, but looks like they got fed up with the RACE BAITING, and they caught on. I don't know what affiliation you are, but you are noteably an apologist for Obama and Farakhan, and you see Trump through a different lens than I do.  I am not "brainwashed," but the President has my faith, for now. Everyone lets me down eventually, and he already has, but not enough for me to join rebellious forces to undermine real progress for our country, for all races, for everyone.

 

 

What is your oral fixation with Louis Farakhan ...already told you , i didnt like the guy ...Believe his sect was invloved in killing MALCOLM X 

 

yes there were confederate flags at the Trump Klan rally... Saw plenty of them ... Rex Ryan was foolish enough to appear on stage here with Trump , Local barber shops had posters made of Trump & Rex shaking hands with the confederate flag pics from outside the arena cropped  in the background ...... 

 

I am too old to be chasing around Nazi skinheads , but there was a large group of people ( blacks + whites ) who cornered the mouth breathing cowards  behind the police ... 

 

No i dont think all trump supporters are bad people, i am sure many of them are just sick of the slimy clintons ( who should still be locked up fpr their whitewater crimes)  ... but i have a hard time understanding how they could admire or support such a vile piece of trash ... 

 

 

I have no feelings of anger or resentment towards you or anyone here on covers

 

 

Enjoy life Brother , its far too short

We need to strengthen our communities. Lack of opportunities depress an area easy way to gage the labor climate is help wanted to apartment more workers needed than apartments available then unemployment is low and a community is productive having opportunities for the population.

a place with high unemployment thus higher crimes violence etc. stress drives anger and hopeless feelings . This is directly related to the unemployment percentage of those looking for work finding work within a week or two.

Last week Nancy Pelosi ridiculed President Trump's border wall as 'too high' and 'obnoxious'  .... claimed the" border wall prototypes are too tall for civilized society" ... "but a wall that big separating people?    I mean really?"

That's the idea Nancy...to separate and protect civilized American society from the criminal elements.....too bad if the new border Wall is offensive to illegal aliens...

..as President Trumps likes to say ..The wall just got 10 feet higher.
