Pentagon asks DHS to justify moving funds for Trump's border wall
The Pentagon signaled Thursday that it has asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for a priorities list to justify using military funds to build President Trump's desired border wall.
“We’ve asked DHS for input facts, data, priorities; we are waiting to receive those,” Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan told reporters at the Pentagon.
“When we do, we will then ... match that with our mission analysis and begin the process I think I've described to many of you.”

So they are be taken down to make the way for a second barrier between Mexico and California. Good to see the wall being built!
not exactly:
"There is money already allocated to either take them down or build infrastructure around them. But the decision has been made at the national level to take them down, and the secondary replacement project will take their place," Francisco said.
So — as I stated exactly — they are taking them down and building the wall.
Cause heaven knows that Mexico needs a wall to protect them from all the liberal Democrats in California.
nope, replacement project could mean anything

Drone activity by drug cartels surges on San Diego's border with Mexico
From Oct. 1, 2016, through Sept. 30, 2017, the same border sector reported two known incidents. In fiscal 2016, five occurred. Before then, it wasn't even tracked.
San Diego Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Roy Villareal said his 2,200 agents have a hard enough time seeing or hearing the small aircraft at night — when they are most often flown — but intercepting them is nearly impossible. In fact, only one smuggler ever has been prosecuted in a drone incident near the border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Between being unaware of just how widely cartels are using drones to smuggle contraband over the border and being unable to do anything when they are seen, it's nearly impossible for agents to determine who sent the drone and then legally go after that person.
It's also difficult to know just how great the threat is when agents are not aware of just how widespread drones are being used to spy on them from hundreds of feet above.
