The big change this week, is all the new miles added to the pre-construction category, because of the additional $3.8 billion just provided by DoD.

The total funded Trump Program now stands at 753 miles.

That is more miles than the Bush era Secure Fence Act Program, and using dramatically more effective barrier system.

Unlike the Bush era fences, the Trump barrier is designed as a system of capabilities (barrier, road, technology) to bring that segment of the border under full operational control - not just some haphazard partial improvement. Bigger and better.

121 miles completed, 218 miles under construction, 414 miles in pre-construction.

I would like more detail - a lot more. How much of that 121 completed miles was new, and how much was replacement? The same for the 218 miles under construction, plus I'd like to know a timeline for completion. Finally, for pre-construction, I'd like to know the timeline there. If we can get 700 new miles by Election Day, that's a big win for America and for Americans. If we can bring that up to my personal goal of 1954 total miles, we'll be able to focus on visa overstays, knowing that the vast majority of deported illegals will stay deported. At that point? Deport all illegals. No exceptions.

If the Left hadn’t fought tooth and nail we’d be done by now.

The next Democrat in the White House will cut holes in the fence.

The Bush era fencing was all a head fake to get the citizens off their back.
The virtual fence stopped virtually no one and the vehicle barriers did nothing about foot traffic.

I'd like to believe that the “wall” in the picture is just the re-bar for the eventual concrete barrier with roving armed guards and lights, like Israels’ wall.

Wonder if this 121 miles includes the just completed 3 miles section on the Rio Grande by Fisher Construction (We Build the Wall).

Unlike the Bush era fences....

I can't tell you how much I despise that fraudulent globalist, America-hating incompetent Bush and his whole, extended family.

This will be a Trump "October Surprise".

I can see the Trump campaign ads now. A helicopter flies over part of the the hundreds of miles of recently completed border wall while a voiceover says "Despite all the resistance, despite all the roadblocks and all the obstruction by the Democrat controlled House, the wall got built just the same. And Mexico paid for it all. President Trump...Promises made, promises kept."

What is the length of the entire border? I understand terrain makes some sections of the wall unnecessary. So maybe a better question would be—how long is the border where a new wall would be useful?
