Construction of Metal Fence on US-Mexico Border Continues


Washington, May 23 (Prensa Latina) The construction of a seven-meter-high metal fence on a portion of the US-Mexico border will culminate in July, U.S. officials said.

That work, on the dividing line of the U.S. cities of El Paso, Texas; and Mexican company of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, will replace the one existing since 1986.

According to the head of El Paso Border Patrol, Ramiro Cordero, the two-and-a-half-kilometer metal fence is independent of the great wall President Donald Trump wants to build to separate the two countries.

This goal, outlined by the president since his campaign for the White House, is repudiated inside and outside the United States by politicians, intellectuals, artists, professionals and ordinary people.

According to statistics from the Office of Customs and Border Protection, the aforementioned patrol detained 25,664 illegal immigrants during 2016 in the area of the fence, whose construction began in July.

The previous year, according to the data cited by press reports, the arrests were 14,495.

Hired a Mexican Company?

Until we change NAFTA or Congress passes a law. There's something in the works under Trump's "Buy American, Hire American" Executive Order to over-rule this until NAFTA is changed but I'm not sure on the details. Maybe not in place yet to affect this job or maybe this job was already in the works, don't know. But this will change soon.
