A private group that has raised over $22 million to construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border announced the completion of their first section on Memorial Day.
We Build The Wall, which is headed up by Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, announced that the first section of the wall had been completed in three days near the Texas-New Mexico border with a post to their Facebook page on Monday. Kris Kobach, Kansas' former secretary of state and another person involved with the group, told Fox News' Fox & Friends that the Army Corps of Engineers had previously declared that the terrain where the construction occurred was impossible to build on.
"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. "There is no update because we are remaining silent for a very good reason," Kolfage wrote on his Facebook page."You all will have the best present very soon. Remember powerful people want to stop our progress, so to not tip anyone off we are radio silent! The would file a lawsuit to impede our wall success if they knew where and when.
