    There is 60 miles already up and 450 miles expected to be up by next year.

    Border Patrol releases drone footage showing miles of ‘new wall system’ being built

    Drone footage released by the Border Patrol over the weekend shows miles of a “new border wall system” going up at a location in Arizona near where illegal immigrants were seen streaming into America years ago. The construction is taking place near San Luis and is being carried out with the help of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

    “CBP has constructed over 60 miles of new border wall system along the SW border since 2017 and expects to complete 450 miles by the end of 2020,” the Border Patrol said in a tweet.​

    So Mexico's not taking credit for funding this? How humble.

    That's no wall. That's even lower than some "walls" in Tx that have been here for decades.
    Besides, more people come through by simply having the worst character flawed CBP agents , like the ones that post hateful things in forums, turn a blind eye at check points for a couple of thousand dollars. Cartels>coyotes> U.S "law enforcement". There is a lot of money to be made but guys like you and cohete can't comprehend that when there is money involved, the morally corrupt will always take the money no matter the affiliation.

    So, of the 650+ miles of existing barriers and fencing our mistake-in-chief has built 60 additional miles in 2 years? Astounding.

    Word on the street is that the company doing the work is relying on illegal aliens to get the work done under budget.

    Ok, I guess. Just glad my tax dollars aren't being spent for this. Thanks Mexico.

    The Pentagon said on Wednesday it would pull funding from 127 Defense Department projects, including schools and daycare centers for military families, as it diverts $3.6 billion to fund President Donald Trump's wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.

    You know what is funny is the right are scared of the government taking away their guns but have no problem with the government taking their land away to build a wall.

    It would be funny if someone started that crappy metal fence falling at one end and it all came down like a row of dominos.

    Hopefully when the next time the US beats Mexico in the World Cup we all get to take one of these poles home to commemorate.

    Well I guess it will require the Mexicans to momentarily stop before they go over or under or through the wall.

    I guess the good news is that the wall will be pretty easy to tear down when the Democrats inevitably take control.
