Trump’s Deputies Restart Border Wall Construction

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/26/2025 12:20:39 AM

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is filling President Joe Biden’s gaps in the nation’s border wall. Trump’s new border patrol chief, Michael Banks, touted the wall construction in a Saturday tweet: “Efforts like installing wall panels to fill critical gaps in Deming, New Mexico, exemplify our commitment to enhancing infrastructure and operational effectiveness.” (X) The expanded concrete-and-steel wall will complement Trump’s many other border measures. Those changes include the deployment of more border guards and the rollout of legal changes that minimize loopholes in the border law.

Excellent! Not even in office a full week and the wall is going up again. Just wonderful. Trump and staff hit the ground running and haven't slowed down.

It'll help. But the Alamo had walls...the Mexicans had ladders. Now they have tunnels, too.

Call in Army Combat Engineers, Navy SeaBees, Air Force Red Horse teams and you'll see a wall get built ASAP.

We need a double layered coast to coast barrier. Current one outside. Another electric wire fence 100 yards inside. Heavy surveillance of the no man's land in between. With strict penalties for violating it.

FTA: President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, also halted the planned development of lights and sensors on the completed portions of the wall. Mayorkas said, “we are following the law” and “the border is secure” and “the border is closed.” He blamed the spike in migration on covid and climate change. Mayokas is a path liar. The democrats tried to ruin the country. No other conclusion is possible.

I understand your concerns regarding tunnels dug by the cartels to avoid the wall...but...there is plenty of sonar equipment that can detect tunnels...and the Israel Mossad has devised many ways to approach tunnels....and take them out....and with a "problem solver" in the White House ...I'm thinking he's on this problem already....have faith my fellow Americans....everything is solvable ...WE 're Americans and WE are the best at everything WE do...

In my defense, and to clarify: I have zero doubts regarding our President's resolve, determination, and commitment to guarding our borders. I only meant to point out that I don't think a wall should be a 'stand-alone' solution.

I read somewhere that Texas was intending to buy the auctioned-off border wall sections, with the intention to either install them or give/sell them back to the Federal government for installation once Trump was back in office. Anyone know: -The amount of wall materials that were being stored? -How much was auctioned off, and how much was still being stored by the Feds? -Who bought the border wall sections that were auctioned off? -What was, or is being done with the auctioned-off sections?

Federal agents rounded dozens of members of Tren de Aragua in an overnight raid on a “makeshift nightclub” in Denver — after the vicious Venezuelan prison gang terrorized the city and the suburb of Aurora. The DEA said agents in Colorado interrupted an “invite-only party” where dozens of the gangbangers were cutting lose in Adams County — just outside Denver city limits. The busts netted cash, weapons, guns and drugs — including Tusi or “pink cocaine,” a powerful narcotic that the gang has played a major role in distributing across the US. Video released by the DEA’s Rocky Mountain Division showed a white bus full of the busted gang members being escorted

Vice President JD Vance appeared on Face The Nation for his first TV interview since being sworn into office and shined as one would expect despite an expectedly hostile Margaret Brennan. Brennan and Vance discussed several issues throughout their interview including cabinet nominations, immigration, disaster relief, and the J6 pardons. One moment that is garnering significant attention is the devoutly Catholic Vance calling out the US Conference of Catholic Bishops for their ridiculous statement on immigration enforcement. Last week, the Trump Administration rescinded a guideline issued under the Biden regime which barred ICE from conducting enforcement in or near so-called “sensitive” areas.

President Donald Trump (won't get tired of typing that for a long time) has done so much, so fast, that it's hard to believe. He's 78 years old but seems to have the energy of a much younger man. He has signed a huge host of executive orders, many of them revoking the previous administration's policies. He has engaged the press in free-wheeling, unscripted conversations. (Snip) The man is a flippin' prodigy. So much so, in fact, that we sometimes forget that there was another guy who served four years as president, and in between the two non-consecutive Trump terms, at that. What was his name again?

Former President Joe Biden, who is Catholic, joined a historically black Freemason lodge just one day before he left the presidency, an offense punishable by excommunication in the Church. Biden was conferred with “Master Mason membership” and “full honors” on Jan. 19 at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, according to the Conference of Grand Masters announcement. Joining the Freemasons as a Catholic forbids an individual from receiving communion, with the potential for excommunication, according to canon law of the Catholic Church.
