According to a senior White House official, White House negotiators led by Vice President Mike Pence and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner huddled with Democrats on Capitol Hill Saturday and proposed between $1.6 billion and $5 billion in funds for a "physical barrier" that would include "fencing, a wall, and steel slats."

Manufacturing is beginning to close and move off shore because they can't get reasonably priced steel due to the tariffs. The Irvin works in West Mifflin Pa. upriver from Pittsburgh produces steel and the last I knew manufactured product right off the press. The Clairton coke works are just a mile or so up from that. I'm sure there are a number of mills still capable of retooling to produce and manufacture what's needed. If the U.S. isn't capable of filling an order for something like this we really are a mess. Then we need a steel beam wall for more reasons than immigration, to get our foundation of making stuff in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They produce products from steel that has been produced elsewhere. Well, that's a shame and sad. They were the last steel producing product manufacturing mill in Pitts.

I lived across the river from the Irvin works 30 years ago for only a few years. There are a number of steel producers in the states. I couldn't imagine the steel not being produced at home.
