Construction Begins on 14-mile Stretch of San Diego Border Fence Replacement |
2018-06-02 |
[TimesofSanDiego] Construction upgrades to a 14-mile stretch of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico Border began Friday, Customs and Border Protection confirmed. The project area begins roughly one half-mile from the Pacific Ocean and extends eastward to the base of Otay Mountain. "One of Border Patrol's top priority projects," according to CBP, it is the third to begin this year as part of the Trump administration's proposed "border wall." Other projects are underway in Calexico and New Mexico, where two-mile and 20-mile stretches of border, respectively, are being upgraded. "Under this president's leadership, we have a renewed commitment to secure our border," said Ronald Vitiello, CBP acting deputy commissioner. "The new primary wall-project represents an important milestone in our work to secure the international border." |

#6 @Murcek Reminds me of a joke from elementary school and the punch line was, that's why Mexico doesn't have an Olympic team. |

#5 #3 is correct. These were the are of the bull-rushes trying to overwhelm the BP back in the day. Those days are over and now they want to prevent climbers |

#3 The fence already goes well out into the surf and those mountains are difficult, perhaps not impossible but dry and rugged. |
