US Army Corps of Engineers will build the WALL & Congress can't do anything to stop them.
- Thread starter WVU82
- Start date
I doubt this. Unless you can build a wall out of a mountain of paperwork Id guess the ACOE wont build a wall. They are pencil pushers.
I could possibly see them as project managers or design consultants. But the actual construction? Hard for me to imagine they're even capable of that much less able to actually do it.
Project managers? No. Consultants? Bahahaha. They could read the permits and compare them to the checklist and see if it is approved.
I'm not a big fan of anything Government does that can more efficiently and effectively be handled in the private sector, however if they can be of any value in terms of facilitating construction of the border wall I'm OK with them being of whatever assistance they can provide. Bottom line is I want to see that thing built...the sooner the better. If they can help speed that process up...more power to 'em.
Its not a dam. It is a wall. The corp deals with waterways. I think people are looking for things that are not there.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)[5] is a U.S. federal agency under the Department of Defense and a major Army command made up of some 37,000 civilian and military personnel,[1] making it one of the world's largest public engineering, design, and construction management agencies. Although generally associated with dams, canals and flood protection in the United States, USACE is involved in a wide range of public works throughout the world. The Corps of Engineers provides outdoor recreation opportunities to the public, and provides 24% of U.S. hydropower capacity.
The corps' mission is to "Deliver vital public and military engineering services; partnering in peace and war to strengthen our Nation's security, energize the economy and reduce risks from disasters."[6]
Their most visible missions include:
- Planning, designing, building, and operating locks and dams. Other civil engineering projects include flood control, beach nourishment, and dredging for waterway navigation.
- Design and construction of flood protection systems through various federal mandates.
- Design and construction management of military facilities for the Army, Air Force, Army Reserve and Air Force Reserve and other Defense and Federal agencies.
- Environmental regulation and ecosystem restoration.

Remember, I didn't vote for him the first time. I can very easily go back to my restful position. I'll need to find someone other than Negan, though. He's a snowflake talking a big game.

I can just see the D's now complaining that the wall isn't made of concrete as it's being built anyway.
