Another Campaign promise kept, Trump wins again! Largest contract yet for US-Mexico border wall announced, worth $1.3 billion plus last year $2.5 billion already spent!

Anti aircraft guns are needed at the border!

Build the wall higher I guess? realDonaldTrump

That's a good catch, but there's typically 10 times as many mules that get away than actually get caught. If their cartel were smart, they'd have a whole squadron of these, flying over the border one at a time.

And this is why we need a wall!

All it had to do was clear Trump's 32' wall.................

The comments though. Lol

Smugglers.... 145.5 lbs....siezed from 'an ultralight'....as in 1 ultralight? Or just a lighter than normal small passenger plane. Appluad for not crashing

Glad we’re building a wall. moneywellspent

Who would have ever thought somebody would invent a device which could fly OVER a wall?

They missed the other two though.

JoeBiden LeaderHoyer IMMIGRATION Democrats stand with DREAMers and are fighting to bring the DREAM Act to the Floor.

The borderwall should be 10000 miles high?

Yes thank you Trump! Your drones don't stand a chance. Navy in the water, wall going up. Time to end drug and human trafficking

They are now single handedly protecting 800 miles of border on foot half naked. The seized drugs have been disposed of.

Pharmaceutical companies love this news - Less competition. Plus our government keeps ppl working, working, working for the military industrial complex $$$ if they're not hooked on illegal drugs.

No investigations, damn for sure from China

“Says”....... Gotta love CNN

And the wall?

Omg if that had sploded and rained meth down on a trump rally.. holyyyyy shit. We lucked out BIG TIME
