EXCLUSIVE: Trump's border agency admits he has built ZERO new walls despite claiming otherwise for months — as the president prepares to veto lawmakers' attempt to kill his emergency declaration and keep his signature campaign promise alive U.S.

Customs and Border Protection told DailyMail.com that no new border wall has been erected

President Trump has boasted that he has built new walls, a claim that appears untrue given CBP's statement on the record

All the construction along the border to date has consisted of replacement and 'secondary' fencing

DailyMail.com asked CBP to identify where border walls exist in places where nobarriers existed on Inauguration Day 2017

A spokesman conceded that '[t]he first new wall project, where no barrier currently exists, is anticipated to start in April'

The United States government has built no new border walls during the Trump administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed exclusively to DailyMail.com on Thursday. Border barriers erected between the U.S. and Mexico since Inauguration Day 2017 have consisted of supplements to existing walls and replacements for outmoded or decreipt sections.

The Daily Mail are bullsh*tters.

New Wall is going up:

And it’s new wall with much more to come.

It takes time to buy the real estate, to contract manufacturers, to lay out the project schedule.

Put differently, the real battle over the border is not in whether a wall is built or not. Given what the judiciary is doing, the real battle is for Beotch McConnell to end the democrats slow walk of Trump’s judicial nominees and install ones who will at least give the administration a fair shot in court.

A word on Conservative judges: We all expect that a conservative judge will act like a liberal judge. Namely, we expect our guys to decide on a result and then manufacture some mumbo jumbo to justify it. That is not what a conservative judge does. They look at the case and apply the law. That means that if congress has pooped the bed and not altered the law to allow the result we want, we don’t get the result we want.

Okay, I’m gonna call BS on this. I saw a video (tried to find it but it’s not on YT) where a girl in Mexico was there, videoing the new wall as it was being built. The girl was saying how happy she was that this wall was being built because she viewed it as helping Mexico, as well as the U.S.

To the media and the democrats it’s only a campaign promise.
Something to be used and discarded once elected.

To the people of the nation it’s a new stout front door
that you don’t have to leave open so anyone can come move
in with you.

Don't forget that the Brits were deep into the McCain, Russian, dossier fake.

I suspect they have their worms in journalism just as the US press.

The old sections are like SIEVES— ask any Border Patrol around high volume crossing areas that had the former “demonrat” .... fence. Holes everywhere. And tunnels.

The old has to be completely replaced along with new sections in topographically advantaged crossing points (like 1 foot deep Rio Grande and flats between mountain terrain, where a wall is not needed- but designed barrier and high tech monitoring undetectable—are).

This is very clever leftist propaganda that comes from-— Mittens Ryan, McConnell and the rest of the Chamber of Commercial shiite— who LOVE thousands of pounds of fentanyl analogues shipped from Chi-coms to Mexico for the cartel mules to carry in their backpacks. This is NOT conjecture— it is known— and in Congressional testimony.

I have seen new bollards with razor wire on top go up on the San Diego Tijuana border in the last 3 to 6 weeks. I go down there every three weeks. The old fence is being greatly reinforced. This is a question of semantics.

So what?

More invaders can be stopped by plugging holes in the existing border wall than by adding new “sections” at the end of a wall whose construction ended too soon.

Thanks to the President’s declaration, there is NOW enough money to buy the land on which the totally new wall will be built. And then build it!

“To me the bottom line is this: Is there anything that the President can do that won’t be overruled by a lefty judge, usually in the Ninth Circuit.”

What do the courts have to do with national security? The only way PDJT can be ‘overruled’ is if he lets himself be overruled.

True, very true.

There are about 180 judicial positions that are either vacant or soon to be vacant. They all should be filled by no later than this time next year.

Push, push hard.

When he says we are building new sections of wall, that is not the same as we built new sections of wall. You have to consider the tense of the verb.

See my post. The LIARS are the Free Labor Rinos and the Aztlan-commie leftists who will NOT fund any repairs, much less any new barriers— forcing the Emergency. Which is certainly not a “fake” emergency. The Cartels are underwriting the Leftists/Pelosi/Schumer and the entire human trafficking aspect of this “trade”. Both are in league with and make money from the trafficking—especially the banks handling and charging for remittances back to Mexico.

For reference, quite true to life (more so than Zero Dark Thirty, for certain) are the “Sicario” movies-Sicario and the second one is called “Sicario-Day of the Soldier (Soldato). The movie is named in the Hispanized form of the old Roman Latin word- Sicarii: who were Jewish Zealots in the decades preceding Jerusalem’s destruction in 70 AD, strongly opposed the Roman occupation of Judea and murdered Romans wherever they could, especially the merchant and leadership (the Roman Cartels/slavers of the day). The Sicarii carried sicae, or small daggers, concealed in their cloaks. At public gatherings, they pulled out these daggers to attack Romans as well as Hebrew Roman sympathizers and blended into the crowd after the deed to escape detection.

Our President is having to work against the vast criminal networks that pay all of these political clowns, and their corporated donors through cheap illegal labor, and outright cash- laundered of course.

There is an awful lot our “media” (never forget Carlos Slim- wealthiest man in the world then— who owned 30% of NY Times— mexican tycoon, fingers with the Cartels)— will never cover, and actually cover up. Obamaumao was in this— and still is— big time- with his imbeds all in fedgov.

Ann Coulter was telling the truth, I just read this headline

Trump’s border agency admits he has built ZERO new walls despite claiming otherwise for months

I called him out in a tweet to build 200 miles before the campaign starts, and not to deceive us.
Promises Made Promises Kept.

I am disappointed at the deception.

Glad Ann is keeping him honest.

May the Trump Curse bring pay back to these evil/vile bastards at every level:

For being a Trump hating sniping Troll on a website to the elitists in or out of congress, to the CEO’s who depend on bribes to get their kids into colleges and illegals to keep their businesses going.

May their hatred of American and of president Trump bring them misery in their everyday life at every level 24/7!
