Trump Misleadingly Says Construction Has Already Begun on His Border Wall
The Border Patrol has begun replacing old barriers with new barriers — which some call walls and others fencing. But construction on a 1,000-mile border wall has not begun.
What Was Said
“We have already begun construction on the wall.”
— President Trump at a rally in Indiana on Thursday
The Facts
This is misleading.
During his campaign in 2016, Mr. Trump promised to construct a 1,000-mile-long border wall that would be paid for by Mexico.
Prototypes for the border wall were unveiled in late October, and Mr. Trump visited San Diego to view them in March. The prototypes have not been used to construct a border wall, nor has the wall been funded. However, construction has begun on a few projects that would replace old barriers with new barriers.
A White House spokesman cited projects in Santa Teresa, N.M., and Calexico, Calif., as evidence for Mr. Trump’s claim that construction on the wall had commenced.
According to Customs and Border Protection, the Santa Teresa project will replace 20 miles of vehicle barriers with a “bollard-style wall.”
The new barrier, a Border Patrol official said in a news conference, will not be based on the prototypes and will actually be the “same wall” as existing bollard barriers just a few miles away in Sunland Park, N.M., which Customs and Border Protection had previously called “fencing.”
In Calexico, the agency said it would replace 2.5 miles of a barrier made out of “recycled scraps of metal and old landing mat” with a 30-foot-high bollard-style “wall.” But local officials have characterized it as a long-planned local infrastructure project that “isn’t Trump’s wall.”
Mr. Trump received nearly $1.6 billion in funding for border security in the spending bill he signed in late March. The spending bill specifies that the $1.6 billion can fund only “operationally effective designs deployed” before May 2017. This definition would disqualify building a wall based on the prototypes that were unveiled in October.

the overall effect on the economy is too early to call, probably won't be able to truly judge this till a couple years down the road.... as far as the hostages i see this as a good thing but i just wonder what his underlying motivation for this is. i always hope for the best but expect the worse...so far i see him failing in too many areas such as health care, education, infrastructure, do we really need a wall when so many of our bridges and tunnels are falling into disrepair..

someone should turn the shit into little obamas

Berlin wall was very effective, Israel wall is deadly (ask arabs ;D), Hungarian & Bulgarian walls a impregnable (ask "refugees" ;D),...................

If you only build wall yes, but if you give it support infrastructure and no restrictions on keeping people from getting over, its a whole different playing field...

Trump has had so many amazing achievements it's making liberals insane. They ignore the achievements talking about Russia being responsible for Hillary losing or claim Obama was responsible. You just can't make this stuff up. No one would believe you. Trump has had win after win. These wins are for America. Not for the Republican party. If the mid terms go his way Obama care is completely gone. After North Korea he's going to work on that terrorist state Iran.

Biden Reverses Course, Will Close Gaps In Areas Of Border Wall As Crisis Hits D.C., Elections Loom

YUMA, ARIZONA- MAY 20: An immigrant (R) walks to cross through a gap in the U.S.-Mexico border barrier as others (C) await processing by the U.S. Border Patrol on May 20, 2022 in Yuma, Arizona. Title 42, the controversial pandemic-era border policy enacted by former President Trump, which cites COVID-19 as the reason to rapidly expel asylum seekers at the U.S. border, was set to officially expire on May 23rd. A federal judge in Louisiana delivered a ruling today blocking the Biden administration from lifting Title 42. Mario Tama/Getty Images Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration will fill gaps in certain areas of former President Donald Trump’s border wall on the U.S. southern border as the illegal immigration crisis hits Washington, D.C., following a decision by Republican governors to transport thousands of illegal aliens to the nation’s capital.
The Associated Press noted that Biden “pledged during his campaign to cease all future wall construction,” but that his administration has now agreed to some additional barriers.
Controversial Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas authorized the project that will close four massive gaps in the border wall near Yuma, Arizona, which has been decimated by Biden’s border crisis.
The report suggested that part of the reason that Biden might have made closing those specific gaps a “priority” is because vulnerable Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is up for re-election and the current political winds could make it very difficult for him to hold onto his seat.
The development comes after Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott effectively told Washington, D.C., Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser to pound sand Thursday afternoon after she complained that the border state was flooding her city with illegal aliens.
“With pledges from Texas and Arizona to continue these abhorrent operations indefinitely, the situation is dire, and we consider this a humanitarian crisis — one that could overwhelm our social support network without immediate and sustained federal intervention,” Bowser wrote in requesting help from the National Guard.
“We’ve had a number of discussions,” she said. “We’ve facilitated FEMA’s involvement with a million dollar grant that has now been increased to work with a lead nonprofit agency. We’ve facilitated using those grant funds to set up respite center in a neighboring jurisdiction and I’ve also asked the Secretary of the Army to deploy the D.C. National Guard to help lead that effort.”
Abbott responded on Twitter, writing: “D.C. is experiencing a fraction of the disastrous impact the border crisis has caused Texas.”
“Mayor Bowser should stop attacking Texas for securing the border & demand Joe Biden do his job,” Abbott added.
Bowser said in her letter that she expects the “crisis” in D.C., a term that Democrats have resisted using when talking about Biden’s border crisis, “to escalate.” “The number of people crossing the border seeking asylum, we expect to only go up, we need to make sure that there is a national response, not an ad hoc city by city, state by state response,” she continued.
Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze told the Washington Examiner that the nation’s capital, which is overwhelmingly deep blue, “finally understands what Texans have been dealing with every single day, as our communities are overrun and overwhelmed by thousands of illegal immigrants thanks to President Biden’s open border policies.”
Over the past three months, more than 150 buses have reportedly transported over 4,000 migrants to D.C. from Arizona and Texas.

There are lots of gaps in the wall.
Ship them all to DC.
Let the politicians who want open borders house and care for them.
