DHS reveals grand plan for border: 1,422 miles of wall along Mexico boundary

[noumoe]

The Department of Homeland Security on Friday revealed its ambitious Smart Wall plans for the U.S.-Mexico border, with fences stretching 1,422 miles along the boundary, more than double the current length, with sensor technology to protect the remaining area too rugged for a wall.

Barriers will begin at the Pacific Ocean in San Diego, run largely uninterrupted until they reach the western edge of the Big Bend area of Texas, then pick up northwest of Laredo and run to the Gulf of America near Brownsville.

Customs and Border Protection, the agency that oversees the boundary, said it has just issued $4.5 billion in new contracts to get construction started.

That money — the first installment from tens of billions of dollars allocated in President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill budget law — will pay for 230 miles of new fencing and 400 miles of new roads and technology.
