A local company is helping to construct a fence for the United States’ border with Mexico.

J & J Truck Bodies is a subcontractor on the project, said Peter Shelley, the spokesman for Power Contracting Inc., (PCI), of Pittsburgh. To build a section of the fence, PCI contracted 19 steel fabricators, including J & J Truck Bodies.
PCI is publicizing the news that all but 0.47 percent of its portion of the border fence is being constructed of American made steel. The company is responding to criticism that the fence was being built of foreign steel.

Well its about time, but I thought Boeing had the fence contract!

Well i'd rather see a smaller company build it and am really glad they are using U.S. steel, as well they should!

Believe Boeing is contracted for the so-called "virtual fence" portion--the one subject to power outages, weather conditions and computer & technical jamming.
The only way I will agree to a virtual fence is when we only have virtual illegals crossing the borders. We need a strong, tall physical fence supplimented by a virtual fence.

Fences make good neighbors.

Ahhh, I think you are right, and I agree on the virtual illegals.

Virtual fences only when we have virtual illegals. Now that was funny.
