Trump Administration to Start Building Border Wall Prototypes This Summer
Source: Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) The agency in charge of U.S. border security plans to start building prototypes for President Donald Trumps proposed wall with Mexico later this summer.
Ronald Vitiello, Customs and Border Protections acting deputy commissioner, said Tuesday that four to eight companies will get contracts for prototypes in San Diego that could be models for the roughly 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) border. Companies will have 30 days to complete the models.
Vitiello says its impractical to build a wall on about 130 miles (209 kilometers) of border where there are already natural barriers, like lakes or canyons.
Trumps budget proposal for 2018 includes $1.6 billion for 74 miles (118 kilometers) of wall in Texas Rio Grande Valley and San Diego. There are currently 654 miles (1,046 kilometers) of fencing.

(23,296 posts)and there is 1,216 miles of wall to build if you subtract the existing fencing and natural barriers? So multiply 1.6 times 16.44 and you get 26.31 billion. And it will solve nothing.
