Promised a wall, left with a hole: Border rancher fears Biden order will funnel migrants through his land Print this article
COLUMBUS, New Mexico A fourth-generation rancher who once viewed the border wall project as a blessing now faces a nightmare after construction was stopped 1 mile before being finished, leaving a hole right in his backyard through which he fears immigrants will be funneled.
A wall project originating near El Paso, Texas, came to an abrupt end last week near Hermanas, New Mexico, less than a mile short of where it was slated to connect to another wall. Landowner Russell Johnson said President Biden has set his family up as the first spot in the 90 miles to El Paso where people will try to sneak into the country, and Johnson is scared for his wife and kids.
Work stops at one of the biggest border wall construction sites Print this article
HERMANAS, New Mexico Construction crews are packing up after coming within 1 mile of finishing a roughly
90-mile border wall project outside El Paso, Texas.
Ten days after President Biden halted the Trump administration s border fence projects, workers are slowly closing down the massive job site. Driving on dirt roads through the construction project, the rancher whose property this site is located on says most machinery and workers have been shipped out. It still looks as if it will take several more weeks to sort everything out.
