Proof The US Is Prepping To #BuildTheWall

Some speculate that President Trump will declare a national emergency during tomorrow night’s State of the Union address. No matter what, it’s clear SOMETHING will happen. If he doesn’t declare it then, he’ll do it after (unless Congress arrives to a deal, which won’t happen).

It looks like SOMETHING is in the works, though. Check it out.

The U.S. government is preparing to begin construction of more border walls and fencing in South Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, likely on federally owned land set aside as wildlife refuge property.

Heavy construction equipment was expected to arrive starting Monday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said. A photo posted by the nonprofit National Butterfly Center shows an excavator parked next to its property.

Here’s that post:

Things are brewing.

According to designs it released in September , CBP intends to build 25 miles (40 kilometers) of concrete walls to the height of the existing flood-control levee in Hidalgo County next to the Rio Grande, the river that forms the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas. On top of the concrete walls, CBP will install 18-foot (5.5-meter) steel posts and clear a 150-foot (45-meter) enforcement zone in front.

Maps released by CBP show construction would cut through the butterfly center, a nearby state park, and a century-old Catholic chapel next to the river.

Hm hm. Guess we’ll see what happens!
