This proposal seems to effectively complete the wall in the Rio Grande Valley - with FY19 funds (completing construction would probably extend into 2021). It would create a basically continuous barrier system from East of Brownsville, all the way to Falcon Lake, except for areas Congress has specifically exempted, like the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge (and possibly some of the small cities for which Congress requires consultation). In most of those areas, levee wall provides some barrier, but also makes an excellent clear and continuous tripwire zone for technology like cameras/sensors/alarms to be maximally effective - unlikely that people will be able to cross undetected.
It will fundamentally transform the busiest sector of the border. I estimate that some minority of this effort requires the use of some of the emergency funding, but they don't specify how much.

.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking your input concerning the construction of a levee/border wall system Seeking input?!
Quit stalling and screwing around. What is this? An ploy to stifle criticism that the wall is not really being built? Just do it. Come back to us when you get it done.

It walls off a large part of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Reserve so I assume those areas of the NWR just go back to being unmanaged territory?
