The Defense Department is scouting sites along the US-Mexico border for new physical barriers funded by $1 billion from the Pentagon, sources say
Washington The Defense Department has begun scouting sites along the US-Mexico border to erect new physical barriers that will be funded by the $1 billion recently transferred by the Pentagon, according to two department officials.
Small teams of engineers and experts, comprised of about 10 personnel, are on the ground in Yuma, Arizona, and El Paso, Texas, looking at sites, the officials said. Each assessment should take about seven days. Formal engineering surveys are expected to follow in late April following the award of contracts to builders, which is expected to happen in mid-April.
