A private group that raised millions of dollars in donations through GoFundMe completed the construction of a one mile border wall.
On Monday, Brian Kolfage, a triple amputee Air Force veteran and founder of We Build the Wall Inc. announced that the group “built a mile-long wall on a private property along the U.S.-Mexico border in just three days.”
He told Daily Mail that his organization plans to sell the border wall to the federal government for $1. He said their construction cost is between $6 million to $8 million.
“We’re going to sell this wall back to them [referring to the federal government] for $1 and release the title to them. We can’t give the government the money because that’s not the way it works. But we wanted to show the American people how to get his job done,” said Kolfage.
Tommy Fisher, the president and CEO of Fisher Industries, supervised the construction of the border wall, which starts at the Rio Grande River up to Mount Cristo Rey. The U.S. Army Corps of engineers said it’s impossible to build on that area.
