The agreement means 88km of new fencing - constructed through existing designs such as metal slats instead of a concrete wall - but far less than the 350km the White House demanded in December.
The total length of the border is over 3000 km.

Look at this as a trial balloon - if the radical leftists don’t agree to this, they get blamed for the next shutdown - Pelosi controls the House ... will be an interesting vote ...

Almost a thousand kilometers has already been built, especially along borders fronting major US urban centers. A bigger problem is that only 1 in 5 vehicles is inspected, and apparently the President has heard that message as he spoke of advanced methods of searching including sniffer dogs.

We use mi not km. Nice try by RNZ to inflate the numbers using the metric system, but fail.
