The Letter
Fisher Sand & Gravel has received over $9 billion in border wall contracts. The company's previous wall in South Texas was at risk of collapse, violated an international water treaty, and was funded partly by a nonprofit whose leaders were convicted of fraud. Despite this record, Fisher and one other company hold 73% of all border wall contract value.
DHS waived financial transparency and competitive bidding laws for the entire 1,954-mile border — the first time in U.S. history. A competitor filed suit alleging the bidding process was not genuine. The $46.5 billion in border wall funding comes entirely from taxpayers.
Require competitive bidding, restore financial transparency requirements, and investigate how $9 billion in contracts went to a company with documented construction failures.
