Please see my Comment #19.
The money quote:
“Trump's Bottom Line after 32 months....
“60 miles (some built by Obama) of replacement fence.
“Maybe 1 mile of “new” fence in a previously un-fenced area.”
Please see my Comment #19 for more details.
All my numbers come from government publications.
Here is the link to the best summary.
If you don't like the data in that link, I have more links.
CBP also has completed approximately 10 miles of the 80 miles of new border wall of funded by Congress for fiscal year 2018. The $1.375 million assigned for construction will allow CBP will focus its construction efforts in priority areas in the Rio Grande Valley and San Diego.
Border wall construction planning efforts will continue in fiscal year 2019, as CBP will use $2 billion authorized by Congress to build approximately 85 miles of new border wall focus in the Rio Grande Valley."
...was your answer.
It was a newer article on the same site.
Let me guess, if you won the lottery you would tear up the ticket if it wasn't at least ten million.
Is this Ann Coulter?
In Yuma, the defense-funded section of tall fencing is replacing shorter barriers that U.S. officials say are less efficient.
It comes amid a steep increase since last year in the number of migrant families who cross the border illegally in the Yuma area, often turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents. Many are fleeing extreme poverty and violence, and some are seeking asylum.
So far this year, Border Patrol agents in the Yuma sector have apprehended over 51,000 family units. That’s compared with just over 14,500 the year before – about a 250% increase.
The Yuma sector is the third busiest along the southern border, with officials building a temporary, 500-person tent facility in the parking lot of the Border Patrol’s Yuma headquarters in June.
Would you rather 50 miles be built in a lower traffic zone and leave the higher traffic zones open? I thought the goal was to slow down illegal migration!
How strange of Trump to insist on results instead of building in easier areas for better press reports. He just is not a professional Politician I guess.
