Trump has not built a single mile of new border fence after 30 months in office

Good picture, and the new bollard walls replacing those bad joke,vehicle barriers, definitely count as new wall construction in areas that were just as wide open to illegal alien traffic as any other part of the border where no serious wall, or double fencing exists.

And those looking for someone to blame because more hasn’t been done can start with Paul Ryano, and probably Mitch and other Republicans who made no real effort to fund the wall while they controlled both houses of Congress.

You are absolutely right. We the people have to stop electing people that support open borders and illegal immigration to ANY office even dog catcher. So many have been elected all the way up and they are putting up every roadblock they can too.

This is the border closest to me, nothing but a 4' barb wire cattle fence. This is the corner where the border fence goes South for the NM bootheel. This is an old picture, under the Secure Fence Act some of that fence was replaced with a new 4' barb wire cattle fence. That replacement fence was counted as miles built of new secure fence under the Secure Fence Act. I was talking to a border fence contractor the other day and he told me if that section is replaced with a bollard wall it will not count as new construction either but replacement fence. How could they count everything built under the Secure Fence Act as new secure fence no matter what it was or what was there before and now it is all replacement? That is how ridiculous all of this is!! The Secure Fence Act was a scam on taxpayers but everything they claimed as secure fence built will now be technically considered replacement no matter what is put there.

Not sure what you meant by this?

Practically any TV "news" program has been historically dominated by radical RATagandists....including the vaunted "Uncle Walter" Cronkite

[Tammy8]

That is the truth. It was not so obvious then, they tried their best to fool us.

The thing is at this point it is obvious the propaganda media is in the tank for the enemies and so many still want to believe what they say. That is what I don’t understand.

Thank you for your posts in these threads giving us a realistic look at the progress on the wall.

[bakkentom]

With the agreed Pelosi-Trump budget and debt limit increase let us hope money for border wall increases.

Thanks for photo in #123. Perhaps if/when the “New Wall/Trump Wall/Bollard Wall “ goes up, you could return to this place and take a photo at the exact angle as this one? You know, sort of before and after. Perhaps that would quell the naysayers here?
