Construction on San Diego section of US border wall begins

[Swordsmyth]

Construction on a stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border wall kicked off Friday in San Diego, Calif., U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials said.
Roughly 14 miles of the eight-to-10-foot-high barrier made out of scrap metal will be replaced with a "bollard-style wall" more than twice as tall, a CBP news release said.


The new wall will also include an anti-climbing plate, according to the agency.
“The San Diego Sector wall construction is one of Border Patrol’s top priority projects,” the statement said.

Is Zippy on his rollerblades out there protesting this?

California is the last place I would build the wall. Start in Arizona or someplace that wants it.

They are replacing some existing wall (in this case only fourteen miles worth). But Arizona already has wall too. It will cost an estimated $147 million (just over $1 million a mile).

Portion they will be working on (Tijuana on the left in this picture)- it dates from the 1970's:

It's more replacement fence.

 

[Schifference]

I Think we should build the wall around California.

It's more replacement fence.

Something similar to this perhaps? I believe that this picture was taken from the Mexican side, ~Feb 15, 2018.

A line in the sand is all the wall we'd ever need if our brave boys in the military were allowed to shoot them law-breaking border hoppers dead on the spot!

USA! USA! USA!

So... replacement fence? There was a fence there already, and a new fence is being put in?

No, the fence is being taken down and the wall is being put up.

Ever hear of a brick fence? Even when there is a brick wall that acts as a fence people still call it a brick wall.

Just build the fucking wall. Of all the dumb shit we've ever thrown money at, it'd be worth it just so people'd (<-- that's Appalachian, yo!) shut the fuck up.

Why is it that I never see a damn Latino in the local paper stealing shit to feed his or her opioid habit? In fact, the only time I ever see Latinos in East Tennessee is when they're busting their ass on a job site working 80 hour week s and listening to that groovy ass fucking music.

Shit white people, get it together! My brother in law exclusively dated fat white women until he figured out that they weren't worth a shit. Now he's dating fat black women because they've stopped dating black dudes because they keep cheating on them... Holy shit I'm glad I'm married to a hard working skinnyish girl.

Don't know what the real story is and have no info if team Trump has recruited branding 'expert' Frank Luntz but he had advised Israel to use term 'fence' instead of 'wall' for their wall around occupied territories and that wall aka 'fence' was higher than Berlin Wall if I recall correctly.
They were also advised to replace term 'Palestinian' with 'Arab' whenever possible to get greater sympathy from public as Palestinians are widely seen as oppressed people.

The West Bank “separation barrier” or “security fence” or “apartheid wall” or “anti-terrorist fence,” depending on whom you ask, is the largest infrastructure project in Israel's history. Twelve years old this April, it costs Israel an annual average of $260 million for maintenance.

It is rebranding to convince Trumpkins that Trump's 'big beautiful wall' is being constructed when it's not. And it's been going on a while.

It's a wall not a fence! White House rebrands see through fence a 'Bollard wall' as it claims the president is building 'the wall' he said he would

This is the thing that Trump called a fence that needed to be replaced during the campaign:

And this is what's being built:

That is a bizarre pic, why are they trying to scale it? and what to you do when you climb pass the part with metal beams? First of all, its silly to believe someone would build a wall a skinny person can squeeze through and equally silly that someone would try to climb it without any tools.

Is that real?

Making an exception for the proto-commie pilgrims was a mistake, ask [MENTION=27246]oyarde[/MENTION].

Yes , I particularly dislike pilgrims and will make no exceptions for those tyrant commies .
