Will they continue to use the design that someone cut through using a $100 saw?
Corrupt government. trump illegally making money .
Great news !!!!
Looks lovely like realDonaldTrump must have an interest in this Construction Firm to keep touting it ! They must be taking his Hydrochloroquine too !
(1) realDonaldTrump Don has claimed Mexico will pay for his vanity wall; it is clear taxpayers will do that; (2) Need to know if the federal Procurement process was followed; this award looks iffy given that Don has touted this company; and (3) Wasted resources in a pandemic.
Building a wall will bring no economic benefits.
🚨 Did you hear about the HUGE construction contract Joe Biden's brother received in Iraq when Biden was VP? You can read about it here... ⬇️
WoW! I am assuming that Mexico is not paying for this🤔...and if that’s the case, is that tax payers money?
Anyone who disagrees with secure borders may be delusional. The issue however with the whole border wall rhetoric is the racist undertone behind it. A solution to a scapegoat kind of problem. Immigrants are not the cause of US problems.
Cronyism. trump BorderWall
Just wants to get the job done now
Let me save everyone time. CNN, an arm of the leftist global community will be telling you: orange man = bad. You’re welcome for the gift of time. CNNenemyofthepeople
Maybe he should have touted them as crap before they were awarded a contract. Is that better? Or possibly they are really that good.
Most just get in a boat and float over or just go get a airplane ticket! Just do it bounce your checkbook on the way over here! It's not that hard to get a airplane ticket you can get them online! Build a wall around the internet?
They won’t start till next summer. Biden will nix it
Great! Protect our southern border!
