The President will visit the border at Yuma Arizona tomorrow (Tuesday, 23 Jun 20), to commemorate passing 200 miles completed.
No news of new contract awards in the last week, although it seems likely that they have stopped reporting them the way they used to, so some may have occurred as new task orders on pre-existing contracts, or as modifications to previous contracts (which are now the norm).
Excellent!!
Thanks for the update.
Picture does not appear, and I’d like to see it. I think it’s a broken link.
at this rate we should have about 320 miles by election day. It would be nice if Trump lit a fire under them and had 350-400 miles by election day.
The completed mile total would have been much greater if the Democrats and RINOs had not been obstructing President Trump these past 3+ years.
We need to reelect Trump to get more wall built, seat more conservative judges and continue MAGA !
every journey begins with a single step, but the us-mexico border is almost 2000 miles long.
Thx again for your persistence on this.
IMO, ARI will be heavy in the news cycle for the West in next 4 1/2 months. West has no electoral votes for Trump, except Alaska. Mountain West mostly red anyways with smaller attention to MT Senate seat and a House seat each in NM and UT to pick up.
AR’s 10 electoral votes a must. McSally Senate win a must. The economy is the biggest issue. With 400 miles of border wall, TSMC semi fab, and big military spending with lots of defense contractors in state a big payoff is needed out there.
With Ducey as governor making Trump rallies safer, from Texas to Arizona many will be held in those two states. El Paso covers the southern NM house district so expect Phoenix and suburbs and Tucson plus Texas to see Air Force one a lot.

BeauBo, you do a great service to us FReepers. Thank you!
More recently:
The Enfocement Zone between the mighty 18 and 30 foot barriers has been extensively graded and cleared, with high speed road continuous - as well as stadium lighting, complete camera coverage and extensive alarm systems and sensors.
That place - the biggest city on the border, and historically the highest trafficked corridor for illegal traffic - will be firmly closed for the long term. The first 300-400 or so miles on the priority list (border cities and the Rio Grande Valley), account for well over 80% of traffic.
The one thing I have noticed about this graphic, is that
the total number of miles does not increase as time goes by.
The total of miles built, under construction, and pre-
construction always equals 738.
Shouldn’t that pre-construction part start growing?
I want more than 738 miles total, and that’s the only
way we’ll get there.
