Revealed! Liberals Plot Border Wall Violence

The Horn News ~ April 4, 2017 ~ Associated Press

President Donald Trump has promised to secure America’s southern border with a “big, beautiful wall” — and liberals can’t stand it.

A secure border is so infuriating to leftists, in fact, that bidding contractors have begun preparing to defend their workers from the violence.

One potential bidder on Trump’s border wall with Mexico wanted to know if authorities would rush to help if workers came under “hostile attack.” Another asked if employees can carry firearms in states with strict gun control laws and if the government would indemnify them for using deadly force.

With bids due Tuesday on the first design contracts, interested companies are preparing to deal with the worst of liberal anger if they get the potentially lucrative job.

A U.S. official with knowledge of the plans who spoke on condition of anonymity because the details haven’t been made public said four to 10 bidders are expected to be chosen to build prototypes.

They will be constructed on a roughly quarter-mile strip of federally owned land in San Diego within 120 feet of the border, though a final decision has not been made on the precise spot, the official said. The government anticipates spending $200,000 to $500,000 on each prototype.

The Border Patrol and local police would establish a buffer zone around the construction site if necessary, the U.S. official said. The San Diego police and sheriff’s departments said Monday they will respect constitutional rights to free speech and assembly for any peaceful, law-abiding protesters.

Peaceful, of course, is the operative word. And if recent history is any indication, it is wise to prepare for liberal violence.

Michael Evangelista-Ysasaga, chief executive of The Penna Group LLC, a general contractor in Fort Worth, Texas, said he has received about a dozen death threats since publicly expressing interest in bidding, including one from a woman who told him she hired a private investigator to trail him.

Evangelista-Ysasaga said he bid in part because he wants broad immigration reform. Securing the border, he said, is a prerequisite for granting a path to citizenship to millions in the U.S. illegally.

“We didn’t enter this lightly,” he said. “We looked at it and said we have to be a productive part of the solution.”

Building a wall on the Mexican border was a cornerstone of Trump’s presidential campaign and a flashpoint for his detractors.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement that it would pick multiple contractors to build prototypes by around June 1 and will name only the winning bidders. The agency said last month that the prototypes should be about 30 feet long and 18 to 30 feet high.

The winning bidders must submit a security plan with details including “‘fall back positions, evacuation routines and methods, muster area, medical staff members/availability, number of security personnel, qualifications, years of experience, etc. in the event of a hostile attack,” according to the solicitation. A chain-link fence with barbed wire around the construction site is required. The agency said it won’t provide security.

Bidders are also asked to demonstrate experience “executing high-profile, high-visibility and politically contentious” projects.

The agency, responding to questions from companies on a website for government contractors, said the Border Patrol would respond as needed if there is a hostile attack, but companies were responsible for security. The government won’t allow waivers from state gun laws or indemnify companies whose workers use deadly force.

The website for contractors lists more than 200 companies that signed up for email notifications on the design contract but it’s unclear how many of those will apply. Bidders must have done border security or similar projects worth $25 million in the past five years to qualify.

Ronald Colburn, Border Patrol deputy chief when hundreds of miles of fences were built under President George W. Bush’s administration, said companies should plan on training workers to know when to seek cover and stay put and when to retreat.

“Most of those organizations are probably fairly accustomed to that,” said Colburn, who retired in 2009. “Some of them may be learning for the first time, that kind of risk at the borders.”

I think they should have military protection with orders to shoot if they riot

EL Loc: Massachusetts

Can't imagine why any normal, logical thinking person would not want a wall on our borders. What on earth are they thinking?

pafret Loc: Northeast

The wall is a national security priority, any "protestors" attacking the construction should be considered enemy belligerents. Their citizenship doesn't matter, an attack on the wall is an attack on national sovereignty, e.g. an act of war. When the Southern states seceded, no one said we couldn't field an army against them because they were American Citizens. If any survive, take them prisoner and try them for treason in a military court.

Lets just face it, the wall, in a great many places will not get built. It can't be. They'd have to damn the entire Rio Grande, there are so many creeks and washes which flow into it and produce magnificent flash floods when the big rains come. Any one of those creeks or washes, when acting as the release point for millions of gallons of flood waters, actual walls of water, would destroy any wall in their way; or at the very least flood huge regions where people have habitat. Look all along 170 along the border for just one example. The people there laugh at the notion of a "wall."

In those areas we place .50 cal ma deuce a half mile apart with claymores for the crawlers. Mike
