every journey begins with a single step, but the us-mexico border is almost 2000 miles long.

738 either completed, under construction or under pre-construction. That’s nearly half way. I think it’s great progress.

“the us-mexico border is almost 2000 miles long.”

A huge analysis was conducted to justify the spending, and to get the most bang for the buck, from Wall funding.

In his fifth day in office, President Trump issued Executive Order 13767, directing the wall to be built, and for the study to be performed.

The bottom line is that only about half the border needs barrier to gain full operational control of the border (along with a few thousand more full time positions, and several technology programs). The President has already identified enough money to roughly build all the barrier in the plan (actual costs will vary). They are rushing to get all the mountain of funding awarded on contracts before the end of the year.

It’s going to take a while to finish.

Yes... OTOH, how many of those miles are actually the points at which 90% of the invasion has occurred?
