Magal Security Systems Ltd. built barriers along the Egyptian and Jordanian borders, and is currently bidding to construct a wall along Kenya’s border with Somalia.
“If Donald Trump makes it to the White House, Mexico could be next,” reported Bloomberg in a profile of the Israeli firm.
The news agency reported Magal is closely following the developments surrounding Donald Trump’s proposal to build a barrier along the nearly 2,000 mile-long U.S.-Mexico border.
“We would join forces with a major U.S. defense company that has experience with such projects worldwide,” the company’s CEO, Saar Koursh, told Bloomberg. “We’ve done it in the past and we would definitely want to do it.”
“The border business was down, but then came ISIS and the Syrian conflict,” Koursh said. “The world is changing and borders are coming back big-time.”

Beautiful! DO IT!!
Cant Americans build with concrete? I thought we were trying to put Americans back to work not import them in for something we can do?
That would put a lot of Mexicans to work because pretty sure only a large politically connected contractor would get it.
I think the Israeli company plans to use American workers. They are just bringing the design and expertise from their experience with other projects like this one.
How much experience is needed to build a frigging wall?
Come on.
Really.
Obama could use all those shovel ready jobs to build it
To answer the question about expertise needed for "building a friggin' wall", the answer is a lot. Of course, we could just put up some beltway sound barriers and hope for the best, but this one has to be engineered over a course of a thousand and more miles in widely varying soil, ground and terrain architectures, and made high enough and deep enough to be useful.
walls that keep people out also keep people in.
