no contiguous wall.

Guess you've never been to the Big Bend area or McAllen or multiple other places along the Rio Grande.

                    the cost of the wall and what it will look like are - blake1771 KC - 7/23 16:39:37
                         agreed. But what's the answer to those questions? (nm) - TigerJackSwartz MU - 7/23 16:43:33
