Construction on a stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border wall kicked off Friday in San Diego, Calif., U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials said.

Roughly 14 miles of the eight-to-10-foot-high barrier made out of scrap metal will be replaced with a "bollard-style wall" more than twice as tall, a CBP news release said.

The new wall will also include an anti-climbing plate, according to the agency.

The San Diego Sector wall construction is one of Border Patrols top priority projects, the statement said.

A solid barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border was among the key campaign promises made by Donald Trump when he sought the presidency in 2016, but numerous political obstacles have slowed the effort since Trump took office.

The current stretch of the wall dates to the 1990s and was built with Vietnam War-era recycled scraps of metal and old landing mat steel plates, the CBP said. While the barrier worked effectively, the agency said the cross border threat has increased and the materials needed replacing.

Under this Presidents leadership, we have a renewed commitment to secure our border, said Ronald Vitiello, CBP's acting deputy commissioner. The new primary wall project represents an important milestone in our work to secure the international border.

Not only does it significantly upgrade our existing infrastructure in San Diego, it also marks the third concurrent wall project in the U.S. and reflects CBPs unwavering commitment to secure our borders and protect our Nation, Vitiello continued...

Meh... assuming most illegal immigrants actually get in the US at border check points (using fake IDs, overstaying visas, etc), then what good is a wall?

Mexico is already paying for the wall. One way or another, Mexico will pay:

http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/trump-tariffs-mexican-peso-is-sliding-on-steel-and-aluminum-taxes-2018-5-1025979595

The Mexican peso tumbled against the US dollar Thursday after President Donald Trump moved forward with steel and aluminum tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and the European Union.

The peso was down 1.18% to 19.9741 versus the dollar at 11:00 a.m. ET.

US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said exemptions, which were previously granted to the US's closest allies, from 25% tariffs on steel and 10% tariffs on aluminum will expire at the end of the day Thursday....

Reminder that TC hates Mexicans so much that while pretending to be a lawyer he's literally stated he would purposely lose cases where they were a client.

Too bad no turrets or guard towers to prevent MS-13 from getting over. Maybe in the future, but for now, this is great news.

Fun fact about MS13, they are an American gang that originally started in Los Angeles, by white people.

It will literally do nothing to reduce the number of illegals in the country. It's actually more likely to cause the number to increase instead.

Apparently us paying higher prices to import from Mexico is the same as Mexico paying for the wall

Even with the wall upgrades, what's to stop gangs and other groups from using tools to break a hole in the wall knowing it can't be climbed anymore?

It's stupid.
