IT'S HAPPENING! DHS Memo Orders IMMEDIATE Construction of Border Wall

• http://www.prisonplanet.com

A memo from the Department of Homeland Security calls for the immediate construction of a wall on the southern US border with Mexico.

Signed Monday, the DHS memo addresses President Trump's executive order regarding border security, and includes new policies strengthening deportation efforts and orders to hire more border agents.

Section F of the 13-page memo, entitled, "Border Wall Construction and Funding," details several orders to begin assembling the barrier, as well as how the administration intends to deal with costs.

The memo also notably includes a clause which orders construction materials to be acquired from US manufacturers "to the maximum extent permitted by law."

Consistent with the President's Executive Order, the will of Congress and the need to secure the border in the national interest, CBP, in consultation with the appropriate executive departments and agencies, and nongovernmental entities having relevant expertise-and using materials originating in the United States to the maximum extent permitted by law-shall immediately begin planning, design, construction and maintenance of a wall, including the attendant lighting, technology (including sensors), as well as patrol and access roads, along the land border with Mexico in accordance with existing law, in the most appropriate locations and utilizing appropriate materials and technology to most effectively achieve operational control of the border.
