Politics aside, I’m always glad to see America investing in industries that actually build things. A shipyard this size means skilled jobs and a lot of paychecks. Now let’s hope this ‘big yard’ delivers some big results😏

Excellent. Promises made, promises kept. It took awhile and then Biden stopped the border wall when he came into office (gee ask yourself why) and then thank God president Trump came back into office and is finishing it once and for all. Plus he's going to put a pretty bow on it and a note to all future presidents that they will never ever be able to tear down this wall. Thank you president Trump and administration and the hard workers that have been working on this border wall. I know it's been hard and I know it's been very hot but you have really done incredible work for your country. Thank you all! 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸

War has consequences and taxpayers pay for them. 🗳️💙🇺🇸
