U.S. Senate Report: Wall Costs Could Soar Toward $70 Billion
WASHINGTON – The Democratic staff of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee today issued a report detailing that costs for the Administration’s proposed concrete wall along the southern border could soar to nearly $70 billion—not including the significant costs and legal resources required for land acquisition. The report is based in part on documents and briefings provided by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials.

#Texas_Contractor Scores $145 Million Border Wall Contract
Federal authorities have awarded a $145 million contract to a Texas company to build 6 miles of wall along the U.S.-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley.
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol said Friday that #SLSCO will begin construction of an 18-foot reinforced concrete levee wall in February in the agency’s McAllen Station region. The company will also increase the height of existing fences.
It will be the first section of President Donald Trump’s border barriers in the Rio Grande Valley, the busiest corridor for illegal crossings.
The government recently completed construction of a 2-mile, 30-foot tall section of fencing along the border in California, which is separate from a border wall prototype constructed in San Diego.
Trump has been ramping up anti-immigration rhetoric heading into Tuesday’s midterm elections.
