This is breaking news because no one seems to understand the wall is actually being built right now.
Watch the presser for an informed opinion. Go to primary sources!!

Bwahahahahahah
Trump snookered the dems. “We are just going to do a little maintenance on what is existing.” “OK” Trump says going alone and then drops the right and left Bauer the ace the king and the queen of the Trump suit.
Cheap to throw up a wall where chain link fence was. No need to build roads etc.
thanks. very worth while watching the video!
“This is breaking news because no one seems to understand the wall is actually being built right now.”
Those of us who understand what is going on understand this is no different to the construction projects that have been going on for years to replace some of the existing fencing. This is nothing new, it is the same policy as under Obama.
That construction image Mulvaney used in the presser - it’s of a section of wall in Sunland Park, New Mexico. See image 9 in this slideshow:

Here’s a few articles from August 2016 about that construction project in Sunland Park:

A few things they mention in the articles:
“Construction has been going on in the area since 2008.”
“The new rust-colored steel columns – an $11 million project authorized by the Secure Fence Act of 2006 – will replace the chain link and be reinforced 5 feet underground with steel panels to prevent tunneling. Construction is expected to finish early next year.”
This isn’t Trump’s wall. This is Obama’s wall and I’m not going to give Trump credit for just carrying on the same refurbishment projects as Obama. That is NOT what was promised.
I thought President Trump said he was still taking bids.
