- Title
The Floating Barrier and the Border Industrial Complex.
- Authors
MILLER, TODD
- Abstract
AUGUST 18, 2023 When I first came across Cochrane International, the company that built the floating barrier deployed in Eagle Pass, Texas, I watched a demonstration the company gave with detached bemusement. While that number is much higher than any of the Trump administration's annual border enforcement budgets, it is less than the 2023 budget of $29.8 billion, the highest ever for border and immigration enforcement. From this menu, CBP has one contract with Cochrane from 2020 for "coil units", but the contract doesn't specify if it is "smart", "electric", or both.
