TAOS, N.M. - A U.S. group building what it claims is the first private wall on the Mexican border wall on Wednesday said it had stopped construction after a New Mexico town ruled the project lacked necessary permits.

The group on its website, in describing its mission, says: “If the Democrats won’t provide the funding for what the American people voted for in 2016 then we the people will.” Around half a mile of the steel fence sprang up over the Memorial Day weekend on land owned by American Eagle Brick Co. The company’s owner, Jeff Allen, declined to comment.

Fisher Sand & Gravel, a North Dakota company that put forward proposals for Trump’s border wall, is building the 18-foot-high structure. Kobach said the project was 80 percent complete.

So just curious, why use stock photos from another part of the wall, NOT the actual private wall being built ? These are photos from an area of thr wall previously under repair.. and by the way, there were NO zoning laws or any laws broken. It is a protest that stoped it. TRUTH.

What's the big deal anyway? You can build whatever pleases you in private property or are rules different in America?

New Mexico has become what it's name implies.

Eric Prince the owner of BLACK WATER the miltary mercenaries group that was active under Bush. They had some war crimes stuff I brlieve. Pprince offered to run a pvt. Presidential police force, is this an off shoot? Very creepy. Stop that illegal wall!

Tear it down and heavily fine the builders

Zoning and other local laws apply. Trumpians think they’re above law and order.

Here is this idiots number at American Eagle Brick Company Leave a nice little message (915) 545-2221

Neatly assembled large hair picks. Fun!

You could have used an actual photo from there, not stock photo of repaired fencing...

Group that raised millions to build border wall begins construction in New Mexico'Buckle up, we're just getting started! If we can get this much done in three days, imagine what's about to be accomplished,' the group posted on its Facebook page. Conservatives are the stupidest capitalists of all time, they honestly think a wall will stop black markets from interacting between US/Mex border? I guess they have no faith in free market ingenuity or no understanding of demand. Good luck with that Raise your hand if you think this will be done as cheaply and ineffectively as possible...

What Happens in a New Mexico Town When U.S. Border Patrol Drops Off MigrantsTensions in a New Mexico town are flaring as Border Patrol drops off hundreds of migrants there each day: 'You have volunteers that are starting to get burned out.
